I’m not justifying it. Being insulting wrong.

“I wonder if this political shift has something to do with the government importing a million people a year after the public voted for less immigration? Nah it’s probably uhhh social media”
It happened live on TV. I watched Question Time episodes where the split become Farage and Carswell are brought out by the other panellists. It might be more tempting to believe it’s some big plot, but there has been much that has happened since 2016.
So is your theory that this—him falling out with Farage, and quitting UKIP—was a multi-decade long con?
It is unbecoming to insult someone’s physical appearance
Good thinking Rafael, it’ll definitely see off Farage if the PM tries to rejoin the single market, there’s no way that would completely backfire.
Yes, that’s literally Farage’s position, and that’s why he correctly believes by removing legal restrictions he will be able to deport the people he wants out.
It’s considerably easier to reject asylum claims than it is to put people on planes
You absolutely can do those things. Other countries already do.
Fly-tipping isn’t monitored by the Crime Survey!
Isn’t it more likely that immigration remains salient as RATES of immigration fall because the immigrants who arrived in previous years are… still here!
No Platform ceases to be viable when what you consider far-right amounts to a plurality of voters and the owners of the platforms themselves
How would you define a political prisoner?
But the legal system wasn’t working. The man hadn’t been arrested. As a result of pressure—which Hall was part of—the police took action.
And as a result of public pressure, he has been arrested
Like I said: relax. Nothing is going to happen, so you don’t need to do anything. There will be another Falklands War soon.
But it was taken on Canary Wharf, it is of a resident in a migrant hotel, and the Met have put out a statement about the incident.
Migration hotels cost £3 billion in 2023-24; Crossrail cost £18 billion; so the cost of the migration hotels is is about one sixth of an Elizabeth Line per year—the lady had a good understanding of the scale of the issue and the trade offs involved.
Those two positions are clearly logically consistent. You need to calm down a bit.
In that case you can relax and ignore that every poll has put reform on course to win the next election for the past three months
They voted for less immigration and got the opposite. When the electoral system fails to deliver a change in policy, protest is the least you should expect.
Yes? Obviously? She is an Albanian nationalist.
Did you just make up “the British criminal code” for this or did someone else tell you about it
“I see a lot more fare dodging lately. Everyone else seems to observe the same” >actually, our data shows fare dodging is down “Can I see how you got that data?” >No.
Yes, you ought to. However in this case TFL refuse to release any details about how they got their numbers on the spurious grounds it would make it easier to dodge fairs.
If I told you my statistics showed that 70% of men have red hair, would you take that at face value or tell me there’s a problem with my data collection?
Imagine believing this
It’s hard to imagine anything more debased that a journalist clapping away as a millionaire pursues other journalists for libel
Of course it’s a political post. You have to be in parliament and the role is appointed directly by the Prime Minister. That’s why it is now Richard Hermer and no longer Victoria Prentis.
How dare people criticise a politician. Don’t they know their place?
How dare the media report court judgements, they should know their place
Parliament: “we are creating a scheme for Ukrainians called the Ukrainian Family Visa” Hugo Norton-Taylor: “actually, this is a scheme for anyone from any trouble spot anywhere in the world” Excellent example of why the power of judges needs to be smashed 👍
On one hand, this is an example of massive judicial overreach that obviously will have widespread implications. On the other hand, the judge doing it says it won’t.
Even if your numbers are right for the electorate makeup, your estimations don’t work for a party polling at 25%.
That’s an impossible question to answer.
Outdated figures.
Any Commonwealth citizen can vote. You do not have to be a British citizen to vote.
The electorate includes a large number of foreign immigrants who are extremely unlikely to vote Reform. It can thus be inferred that proportion of British intending to vote for Reform is higher than 25%
Reminder that Reform are currently polling 25% so you are talking about a quarter of the electorate (and presumably an even higher proportion of British citizens)
“Adjectives”
The idea “you got given a social care visa due to labour shortages in 2022, therefore you and your entire family can settle here forever with full access to the welfare state and voting rights” is far more unreasonable than anything proposed by Colvile
They were elected on a platform of reducing immigration.
It’s a completely reasonable question. There is no democratic, financial or social case for allowing the Boriswave to settle permanently, which seems to be your position.
Correct. The idea of organising a political demonstration in a child mental health service is totally bananas. Loopy!
Why should setting foot on Great Britain entail the expectation of being here forever?
That’s the point of immigration yes, not just maxxing the total number of people on this island
Don’t you think that’s a bit of a loaded question?
The ICJ didn’t have jurisdiction and the ruling was non binding. Make a moral argument if you want, but there is no legal obligation on the UK.
If Hermer advised that the government was legally bound to hand over the islands, do you think Starmer would consider not following that legal advice?
“Make health economy housing more good” has been the notional goal of every government since the Second World War; what distinguishes Starmer’s regime is his legalism (as manifested by the the Chagos handover)
You are also boring
You are a conspiracy theorist
Those were all things the previous government said it wanted to do.
They are not paying for pensions as they are not net lifetime contributors, and even if they were you would be proposing a pyramid scheme
Less than half are even on work visas
What are his bigger priorities? Something that the last government wouldn’t also have done
Not an argument. Very immature. I don’t call you fat and ugly (both accurate descriptors).
There is no “they”
He is doing it as a PMB because that’s the easiest way to achieve it politically. Do you think it would’ve got this far is Starmer had any personal doubts about Assisted Dying?
Most migrants are not net fiscal contributors
It is the epitome of Starmer’s world view (“thinking international law is real”) and it’s a terrible deal he is willing to find billions of pounds for. There is no higher priority!
If Twitter is important, why hasn’t Starmer (405 seats at last count) changed course on the only two policies he actually cares about?” Wow big insight Mr Journalist!

Bone-chilling stuff. First “taxing remittances”, then the gas chambers! It was definitely worth funding an undercover journalist to find this out.
You could reduce met migration to below 100,000 a year without reducing skilled immigration. So yes, it is easily achievable
No, it wasn’t, because 7 of the 22 people murdered by Salman Abedi were children. Abedi, like Rudakubana, was the British-born child of asylum seekers.
The article makes it transparently obvious that Hicks is a bad historian and your hand waving doesn’t change that
