Net migration has fallen again to 204,000, the lowest level since 2021 and is forecast to continue falling over the coming years.

Not that you would know it from the endless coverage of Britain's supposed "immigration crisis"

Goodall: "Real social change is born when you have the wealth to make it happen."
I don't agree.
Fairness does not cause poverty. Unfairness does not cause growth.
**Inequalty is waste** - not an economic engine. It is a symptom of wasted time, effort & materials.

The 4th Thursday in November - Happy Thanksgiving to all celebrating.

A holiday originally to thank for the harvest, it may be worth the selfish & child-like leadership in the White House reflecting that Russia steals much of Ukraine's harvest.

Here's the🧵on Day 1373 of the war.

- A 100,000 drop in net migration costs us £7bn
- Scrapping the two-child benefit cap costs us £3bn

What gets more attention?

UKTBC Chair Andrew Lewin MP:

"The Brexit deal put up barriers with our closest and largest trading partners. We have 16,000 fewer businesses in the UK exporting to the EU."

"A surge in food prices, bureaucracy at the border and a hit to our economy of at least £100 billion."

"Putin accused Kyiv of wanting to fight "to the last Ukrainian" - which he said Russia was "in principle" also ready to do".

250,000 Russian dead & 750,000 wounded by Putin's brutal war of aggression and he's willing for millions more Russians to die in Ukraine?

Reform love free speech while being perpetually offended any time someone asks them a very basic question.

It's a curious paradox.

Why doesn't he just laugh and say, "Of course he isn't" instead of getting so cross.
‘Is Nigel Farage a Russian asset?’
‘Are you seriously asking me that?’

Rogue planets do not orbit a star but roam freely. Since they are not illuminated by nearby stars, they are hard to discover.
