      A broadly accurate account of my GB News interview with Martin Daubney 😉
“I’ve corrected you on this before, Martin, so let me do it again.” After he cited figures, Martin revealed they were out of time – and was forced to abruptly cut off the interview.

      BBC did not clarify the Philp policy much: failed to ask any of the key questions 
- One reading "we have updated our policy at conference" is that the Conservative Party is ditching large parts of the May deportation bill
- Another reading "we would apply that retrospectively" is it stands

      A real failure that a 6 minute BBC interview with the Shadow Home Secretary has simply failed to clarify
- whether the Bill in the Commons stands, or has been dropped?
- whether threat of removal to those currently with ILR stands, or dropping retrospective deportations of 430,000 people
