In July, I FOI'd the Home Office for the full breakdown of spending on the Rwanda scheme I was refused because the government planned to publish the data in future, and today is the day. These numbers are in millions www.gov.uk/government/p...

Where is all the money?

💷£95m was went on "investment to optimise capacity within the existing detention estate" and "options to increase detention capacity",which I first reported last November There wasn't enough room to hold the asylum seekers who were supposedly going to be forced to Rwanda inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Review of @corinnefowler.bsky.social excellent book “Our Island Stories.” She has found such an interesting new way to tell our story. A good one for the Christmas wish list!

My open access contextualisation & review of @corinnefowler.bsky.social’s Our Island Stories: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Someone needs to do a Google Maps, but for the past. For example, typing in "London to York" but you can select a period e.g. 1450s, and it would give you the likeliest route. That'd be great.

Important context here: ● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares) ● "a big farm" is 217 acres. Now let's see who's angry: ● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres ● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres ● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres ● Dyson owns 36,000 acres

A message from a REAL farmer who hasn’t been brainwashed by the Tories, wealthy landowners and the right wing media👇🏽 #FarmersProtest

Why many free speech absolutism is nearly always intellectually dishonest and one-sided, in one minute. I note, for example, that many of those most angry about Alison Pearson’s experience were exactly those calling for police action against things they didn’t like being said on the Gaza protests.

"It's 'free speech' when they 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 what's being said." After backlash over a police investigation into a journalist's tweet, The News Agents discuss the right’s so-called "free speech absolutism" which, as it turns out, comes with conditions.
