Times report on BBC investigation into people-smuggling…
Lots of talk of “losing” access to critical information. Rather than Johnson not bothering to secure it. And Farage wanting an even harder Brexit.
The stubborn refusal to face the consequences of our own govt’s stupid choices has become absurd

Nigel Farage, professional politician, demands an election because apparently he's against professional politicians.
He’s got plenty of time to write essays but he never seems to have time to face the public.
For a man who wants to lead the country, he seems remarkably allergic to public scrutiny.

It is inescapable now that many politicians & most of our media judge the severity & seriousness of a crime differently according to the ethnicity of the perpetrator and/or victim. An utterly hideous state of affairs ushered in eagerly by Nigel Farage & Elon Musk. It is very easy to do better.
Comparing coverage of the Belfast and Edinburgh attacks, it seems that if politicians politicise and racialise a crime, then it will get far more attention than a crime that is in itself political and racist but doesn’t serve a political agenda. That’s not a good message

Front page of the Daily Mail screeching headline telling Starmer to go or face a coup. Burnham and his supporters should be asking why papers like the Mail and presumably the rest of them want Starmer gone. My opinion, they want a leadership change to relentlessly push for a GE.

With the re-closure of the Strait of Hormuz I ask once again for everyone to consider the seafarers caught up in this.
They will have just had another rollercoaster of emotions to be once again hit with a crushing disappointment.
Their welfare is as important as anyone’s in this conflict.

55% probability that Burnham wins in Makerfield according to my current calculations given current polling, and direction of travel for the candidates. Too much of a risk in my opinion but that's not the reality, so.. in my view here's how it will play out. 1/3
