The people of Piddington have spoken. I say, grant them independence. Border controls. Visas to cross into the UK. Tariffs on goods. No GBP. No NHS. No benefits or pensions.
Let us know when your little lilywhite enclave has gone all Mad Max and you started eating each other. BUH-BYE!

You wouldn't guess from the coverage that Makerfield is pretty much average for income and deprivation. It is Reform-leaning because it is old, white and less-educated, not because it is especially deprived

Another murder of a student - this time a Saudi man - with a knife. This one took nearly a year to reach a conviction. Sentencing awaited.
Will media and politics take any notice?

In a world of war, abuse and rising fascism, ‘woke’ was never the enemy
Mainstream conservatives and even centrists rounded on progressive culture as though it were a threat to society. Now they see where the real threat lay, writes Dorian Lynskey

think if you're broadly a centrist and were suuuuuper concerned about attacks on free speech from the left and so you decided to give the right a hearing then you need to realise you were taken for QUITE the ride (and don't really have anyone to blame but yourself)

I don’t want to be too shrill about this but I think the BBC, ITV and Sky have disgraced themselves in their coverage of the anti-refugee protests. A massive failure of judgement. But now we know the next time a progressive protest “isn’t news” that it’s nothing to do with numbers

fundamentally the problem is that if you think "hotels are where I stay on holiday and I like being on holiday so living in a hotel must be fun and it's not fair others get to do it and not me" then you have the intellectual reasoning of a little child and it's going to be hard to engage with you

A reminder: Asylum seekers are in hotels because of a huge application backlog that the gov't must work through. Robert Jenrick - now, bursting with creative solutions - processed applications slowly ***on purpose*** as a deterrent.
