It's so striking, when you use the NHS regularly how some bits are total choas with staff run off their feet and rhen others are clearly overstaffed with few patients. Not much rhyme or reason to it.

Everything is the fault of foreigners, everything can be fixed by penalising foreigners. To call them Little Englanders is generous and euphemistic.
Reform’s £25bn p/a savings plan. A theme emerges:
- ending foreign aid
- increase immigration health surcharge paid by foreigners
- deport foreign criminals
- end UC payments to foreign nationals

@brickcop.bsky.social I've found your spiritual ancestor.
1920s juries were not taken to crime scenes and so the murder scene of Emily Kaye in an Eastbourne bungalow was brought to them in 1924 thanks to the craft skills of PC Edward Er Onan Shelah (1890-1962) at Brixton Police Station. #CM150 #Museum30 #making #truecrime

Did any of them ever commission any crimes?
Part of me is still sad we called them Police & Crime Commissioners. Rather than Sheriffs.

Missed opportunity to move the Royal Train over for one last hurrah on the most unlikely rail network in Europe.
The Queen going pretty trad for a papal audience with the veil, but rather elevated by (I assume) Philip Treacy to a sort of flying alice band mantilla situation. Nice that they shipped the state Bentley over too.

Getting deported for taking maternity leave seems really REALLY wrong.
"I warn you not to fall in love with someone from another country. And if you do, I very specifically warn you that she mustn't take maternity leave."
The Conservatives have drafted the legislation.
ANY one of the conditions being met leads to ILR being revoked.
If annual income falls below £38,700 for six months (for any reason at all)
The Secretary of State would also have the powers add whatever further conditions they want.

But British politics and cultural cohesion is supposed to have improved since the 1970s! We spin congratulatory narratives about wiping out the NF, defeating the BNP, the rise of multiculturalism, the decline of racism. For these ideas to be mainstream and explicit for the Tories now is shocking.

The fact that this is even seriously discussed, by frontbench politicians and in mainstream publications, shows that something fundamental has broken in UK politics. All those who look at Germany with horrified faces because of the rise of the AfD, kindly take a look in the mirror.

I sat in the British Library reading League of Empire Loyalists, BNP & National Front literature for my book and even they claimed to promote *voluntary* repatriation. Forcible deportation was always the ghost behind those ideas, but it’s amazing that UK politicians don’t even bother to hide it.
To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?
