It's amazing how detailed #BBC reporting has become on asylum-seekers since Labour took office.
I don't remember such reporting of minutiae like taxi trips when the Tories were in office for 14 years.

Kemi Badenoch finds it easy to attack women, because she despises them.
She's one of the worst misogynists in the country.
Her trash talk will not drag the Tories out of their quagmire.

There comes a point where you just have to laugh at the right-wing press.
Their headlines are cartoon-like.

I just hope they're not using Grok at 'Your Party,' or they'll end up debating who was best out of Adolf Hitler or Benito Mussolini.

In my view, Kemi Badenoch, ironically, is one of the worst misogynists in the country.
I always get the distinct feeling that she utterly despises her own gender.

A windfall tax on banks won't plug the holes in the bucket.
Whoever's in government, they're going to have to find a way to get a quart into a pint pot.
No-one's honest about the choices that face the country.

Many working people are receiving welfare, because their greedy bosses are loath to pay them anything higher than minimum wage, whilst rewarding themselves with large salaries and bonuses.
This legacy Tory attempt at 'them and us' politics is utterly bogus.

The OBR's letter makes me even more suspicious of that unbelievable OBR leak on budget day.
The head of the OBR, Richard Hughes, seems to have a grudge against Rachel Reeves.
If Mr. Hughes had any sense of responsibility or honour, he would have resigned after the leak.

Donald Trump and his far-right MAGA regime are using this murder to enact a 'whites only' immigration policy in America.

'Black Friday' sales in the UK are a nonsense.
We do not have Thanksgiving Day in the UK, and reductions are mostly frauds.
The retailers bump up prices of certain product in the months before the last Friday in November, and then cut them back again.
It's gaslighting.

Reform UK Ltd's policy is to scrap the two-child benefit cap, as well, you nitwit!
This Labour government is clearly ignoring Tory cries about this, because they see Reform UK Ltd as the opposition.

Someone thought they could sneak out this change to workers' rights, under cover of the budget, but I knew UK media would latch onto it like starving hounds, desperate to dirty-up Labour.
Bad timing by whoever did it.

I'm guessing they weren't allowed to say: “the most openly corrupt president in American history,” on #TheMediaShow, unless it was recorded before the new #BBC censorship missive.

I can see what's happening in the Lords, but I do wonder if this Labour government had to capitulate so easily on workers' rights.
It just strikes me as bad timing and bad politics, just after they've made the good move of scrapping the two-child benefit cap.
