Big principles at stake behind Rwanda story and few in the media articulating them. Framed as a β€œWILL gov’t get its way” story, with zero debate of β€œSHOULD gov’t get its way?” Human rights law is designed PRECISELY to frustrate politicians keen to circumvent them. 1/3

One of the consequences of Brexit is the loss of all sorts of useful comparable statistics. That includes state aid, which is now much more opaque. It is only with some effort that we know that government subsidies have soared since 2015. My note this week t.co/bFgC5QjyaU

I can understand that Starmer doesn't want to be dragged into fighting the election on Brexit, but I don't understand why he's painting himself into a corner. Labour should keep its options open and let gravity do all the work.

The idea that Starmer’s actively pro Brexit stance (here we are & here we’ll stay) is some sort of genius is THOROUGHLY debunked here by Sir John Curtice, β€œLabour’s presumption that they couldn’t get into an election winning position vis-Γ -vis Brexit has been demonstrated to be false.”

Yes. It is the rigid way he has formulated his policy. What’s wrong with saying β€œLabour will always listen to what voters want. It isn’t the job of politicians to force policies on voters that incur unwanted and harmful economic and social damage on the electorate”

He is clearly worried about his party losing votes to Reform, hense wanting to rubbish them. Not to say he wouldn't consider taking them up on that offer in the future when he has lost both his seat and role as Deputy Chairman and is no longer on the Tory gravy train.

Immigration numbers trigger obvious questions about Brexit. What happened to all that control we were promised? Well.. Much of it was a prejudiced, exceptionalist fantasy incompatible with a successful country and economy. The rest was given to a bunch of frothing Tory cultists. Result - shitshow.

For my Hungarian friend, it is tradition to decorate the tree on the 24th of Dec. She can't understand why people have their decorations up already. Tbh, I can't understand why Christmas dec's are up in November, either. It's still autumn.
