If people become insecure, we find they’re three times more likely to desert Labour than if they become more concerned about immigration. Around one-third of Britons felt economically insecure as of April 2025.
Focusing on immigration is a ‘red herring’ when financial security is so foundational.

The BMA has to renew its mandate to pursue strike action in January. This will help.
For who? The people hit by this tax only have one paycheque, I doubt, say, a junior doctor is going 'oh - thank goodness, instead of just taking back that £1,508 a year from me by reversing Jeremy Hunt's NI cuts, you are taking that money via PAYE in a *different way*!|
Extending the scope of a tax is patently different to increasing it

In the 70s, 80s there were people with first hand experience of fighting Nazis. Racism may have been more common, praise of Hitler and singing Hitler youth songs was not. That was the action of pariahs.

I go to meetings at my work, where we talk about solving problems without spending any money whatsoever. Nothing proposed is ever likelu to work and so nothing gets actioned. Repeated throughout the public sector and government.
Imagine coming up with a proposal so stupid, so unworkable, so thoughtless, that it makes Robert Jenrick look sane by comparison.

Whenever there's a story about how the British passport let's you into a country, I think that maybe so but the British government will do bugger all to get you out should you need it.
ICE detained Katie, a British woman in the final stages of her green card process, while she was holding her 6 month old son.
She’s married to an American and was following the process, yet at her last immigration meeting they grabbed her.
She’s been detained ever since:
