Labour took 12+ hours to deliberate over a response to Lam’s vile and flat-out unpopular proposals and this is the best they can do? Just an absolutely pathetic government who can’t even clear the lowest of bars

They had a full day to craft this statement and they still couldn’t bring themselves to say “this is unconscionable and we would never change the rules on people in this way” without adding the rider “as long as they deserve it”. Who is this even for?

Centre-left parties wouldn’t consider a policy that polled this badly. But the right are different. I don’t think it’s madness: they feel they control enough of the media and are good enough at shaping attitudes to turn it round. Are they wrong in this? Or is this my pessimism talking?
Your regular reminder that scrapping ILR for people who have come here and played by the rules, which is what Lam proposes here, is a position supported by 3% of the public
Sunday Times interview Tory "rising star" Katie Lam

She is clear she wants lots of legal migrants to be told to "go home" so as "to leave a mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people"

(The interviewer suggests she is scrapping ILR or stripping people of it)
Finally win back to back games in the league and of course it’s at Anfield. Get the fuck in
No injuries or lengthy VAR nonsense, two goals, one of which wasn’t celebrated cos they wanted to restart. Just flat out homer bullshit
Ok, NOW keep the goddamn ball
Feels like at no point did we show any real conviction in going after a second goal but nor did we show any interest in retaining possession. Rubbish defending for the goal but keep putting yourself in those situations and it’ll happen
Shaw has half-arsed so many challenges today
Or just, you know, don’t bother
Please just keep the ball for a bit
Brilliant from Cunha to keep going but all the fouling on him completely killed that counter
So Amad off because of that nonsense yellow basically. Cheers Oliver
Freekick and yellow card just because Anfield had a moan. Michael Oliver, perennially abysmal

The speed with which fifty years plus of building and enforcing anti-prejudice norms is unravelling at the moment among politics elites is shocking to me. But it is not inevitable: public don’t back this stuff. Because it is wrong. Oppose it. Every time. Whoever says it, wherever they say it.

Neville gagging for that to be a penalty
Wonder how long it is before Yoro joins his mate Kobbie in feeling thoroughly fed up with this manager

So for-profit AI companies have trained on the world's largest collaborative volunteer project and a precious free resource, to make money for their for-profit enterprises. They have crushed traffic to the volunteer project, starving it of donors and volunteers

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors
“With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

I was looking at Reform's policy again the other day. They're proposing a £60k salary for people on ILR keeping their visa. Which means pretty much every nurse on ILR would be a risk. It's insane.
Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.
Amazing she took so long to defect really given she is absolutely made to be in that party. A proper end level boss of grifters.
Reform's highest-profile politician in Wales, Laura Anne Jones, billed the taxpayer for £1,876 in legal fees.

A source close to her office told us the fees went towards NDAs to stop staff speaking about allegations over her expenses.

The MS has refused to confirm or deny this.
Always staggered at the high scores I see people posting, particularly with the dates, to the extent of assuming there must be some sort of hack I’m missing

Caerphilly apparently. I honestly, honestly despise this stuff. They have nothing to offer, nothing to say, nothing to hope for, nothing to aspire to, no solutions, nothing. Just hate and lies.
