I thought this would be how Badenoch would get out of this. He’s withdrawn. #Bonehill-Paine "Kemi has instead offered that I become an adviser to the Conservative Party’s Culture and Integration Commission, specifically focusing on how young men become radicalised"

TLDR? The Tories built 14,000 new prison places but closed 14,500. They only created 482 new prison places overall - exactly as Labour said.
Andy Burnham has claimed only 500 prison places were added between 2010 and 2024, but Kemi Badenoch says the Conservatives created 14,000 new places. Can these two claims add up? We’ve had a look at the figures 👇 fullfact.org/crime/how-ma...

Reform UKs plan to use the Royal Navy to intercept migrant boats in the Channel brilliantly taken apart by ... er ... Nigel Farage
The state of this. A lovely day out for Badenoch and Philp, playing dress up and making pronouncements about early release schemes - having left the country with one hundred available men's prison places, after fourteen years in charge. You read that right. One hundred places.
French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story. It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war. You’re only diminishing yourself with comments like this.
"Dear Diary The launch of our scheme to use the Royal Navy to stop small boats has gone exactly to plan. It is so patently absurd that it is all anyone can talk about, providing the perfect distraction from all our dodgy financial dealings"

Right eye op tomorrow. The only thing remotely right about me. (Political reference) I did rather well on Mastermind and University Challenge tonight so I can be right. Looking forward to singing I can see clearly now !
Robert Jenricks comment on Rod Liddle confirms what we already know about #RobertJenrick. “Rod Liddle said the unsayable truth years before anyone else would come close.”
When highly unpleasant people die, it is polite not to remark upon their great unpleasantness. But we do not have to pretend to think that they were a decent person.
Nigel Farage just took a question from a 'journalist' at his press conference, who turned out to be his former chief adviser Raheem Kassam, who asks him why the media are being so unfair to him
Andy Burnham correctly points out in an interview that small boat crossings are massively down this year compared with last. The comments in the post are filled with people suggesting he is lying about this very clear, data-evidenced fact. It’s almost as though they don’t want it to he true…
Farage is running out of time to clear his name over the deepening donations scandal engulfing his party, Labour warns today It follows the Sunday Times reporting Farage struck a secret deal to seal his return as party leader months before the 2024 General Election. Farage has a press conf this AM.
One interesting aspect of the recent COVID discourse is that a lot of us have forgotten that lockdown and school closures was not simply about preventing deaths, it was about keeping the *rate of infection* down to a level the NHS stood some chance of coping with.

It is very, very, very frustrating to try and have any serious discussion about immigration when nearly 100% of RW politicians and media are either profoundly dishonest or stupendously ignorant about basic facts and law about it

If you want to talk about 'learning' from the pandemic, the starting point is showing that you yourself have learned something from the pandemic, rather than that you've absorbed misinformation. #SubPost
