I wonder if Nigel Farage will be giving a press conference on this one?

I am struggling to believe the Russians decided to throw money at solely at one relatively obscure UKIP MEP.
BREAKING: Nathan Gill is sentenced to 10 & a half years in prison after pleading guilty to eight charges of bribery from a Russian agent.
The "ultimate source" of the funds came from "a close friend of Vladimir Putin," said Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb.

The truth politics dare not speak. Part of the reason this is unsolvable for Lab is that it isn’t a real issue - it’s a euphemism for political discontent.
They could get immigration to zero, destroying the country in the process & it wouldn’t help, cause it’s not what ppl are actually angry about

One of the things that the “immigration debate” in the UK really reveals is how little people actually know about how other people live. So much of immigration policy fails to work, even on its own terms, because it’s trying to solve problems that mostly exist in peoples heads

Plans to leave refugees in a state of perpetual uncertainty about where and if they can rebuild their lives are not just performative cruelty, they are counterproductive to integration and the economy. It doesn’t have to be like this - 1/2

Who do they think this crap is appealing to? Certainly nobody who'd ever have voted for them.
Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people.
How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

This is fascinating research. It's actually quite hopeful in many ways: IF (massive 'if' given the terminal cowardice of the govt) you took Farage on rather than pandering to him, you'd have a real chance of pulling his coalition of potential voters apart.

What is always forgotten is that in 2016, the majority of Labour voters in almost all areas that voted Leave voted Remain. It's one reason why the then leadership's failure to fully back Remain is so unforgivable. It could well have tipped the balance.

You may have missed this gem yesterday. From which we learn that:
1. Betting shops are really good for the mental health of isolated people.
2. Most drug-takers are not a problem.
3. Kids put tuppence in slot machines in the hope of getting rich.
4. Farage probably has a gambling industry donor.

I suspect being sued for a billion dollars by Donald Trump, who is about as popular as cholera in Britain, for saying something true about what Trump did (albeit with a bad edit) will probably do the BBC's public trust and approval ratings quite a lot of good in the end.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.
