"A brief look at the past decades’ border dynamics suggests that Starmer’s initiatives may well end up being as gimmicky as those they replace."

Not surprising when they're formulated by an ideological vacuum in a suit he didn't pay for, whose sole purpose is to gain power and placate the RW press, donors and big business. The outsourcing firms are already rubbing their hands with glee at their projected profit margins.

What a bizarre commentary. Aiming for the woman not the ball.

To quote ‘But the return as director of policy delivery and innovation of Liz Lloyd, possessor of one of the driest senses of humour within the old Blair inner circle, is, if anything, more crucial.’

Kettle is short on straws to clutch and insight to impart.

You've been listening to those pesky French political philosophers and United Statists, again. No separation of church and state in *this* monarchy. All of that 18th century revolution is for colonials and continentals, old boy! (-: Archbishop of Canterbury is a Lord Spiritual, and ex officio a politician with a seat in our legislature.

It is an interesting question as to whether an Anglican archbishop can actually be fired. It's a direct appointment by the Crown. Direct action by KC3 might have caused an uproar about the King interfering in politics, even though the Crown is legally supposed to be the fount of justice. Some people would get far more upset about a monarchy being a monarchy than about Mary Whitehouse's lawyer caning teenagers.

Keir Starmer will announce a stringent new climate goal for the UK today. He will pledge to cut emissions by 81% compared with 1990 levels by 2035, a target in line with the recommendations of the Climate Change Committee.

As a cynic familiar with the history of Starmer's opportunistic pledges, forgive me if I don't prematurely celebrate.

The Royal (very much appreciate the Royles) family carry on milking us all and demanding love and obedience. Why the heck is ‘subject’ still part of the UK legislation?

I thought the small charge for every time the RNLI cross ‘their’ beeches hilarious. Maybe it is time to really get royal on their financial arses.

Starmer and the Labour government are blind. They all seem to think that if they seep their eyes closed al the bad thing will go away.

Hint, they won’t but we might mitigate them.

“Keir Starmer’s sycophantic words of congratulation to Donald Trump are among the most dispiriting things I have read this morning. “Shoulder to shoulder in defence of our shared values of freedom, democracy and enterprise”? This is either serious delusion or utter hypocrisy. He should be ashamed”

Whether Trump wins or loses, Farage has ruined his political career by backing him. He just doesn't know it yet.

If Trump loses, he's backed a loser. Because he's a loser

IF Trump wins, we will watch Trump dismantling the U.S. welfare state and the whole infrastructure until there's nothing left but victims. And then he's going to expect us in the U.K. to vote for him when he's promising the same thing?

I don't think so Nigel. Sorry love.

"On Monday this week, an opposition Tory MP made a speech in Parliament attacking the use of the term genocide to describe Israel’s violence against Palestinians"
"Spontaneously and under no direct pressure whatsoever, he [Lammy] agreed with the Tory entirely"

Feudal Britain

The Sunday Times has published a survey of the land and the ‘business deals’ with the NHS, Schools and the military that provide the Royal Family with much of its unearned wealth in England and Wales (only).

"Many patients who sign up for assisted dying do not in the end request that their lives are curtailed. The reassurance that they have this option is enough to relieve much of the anxiety and stress as death approaches. We view assisted dying not as an alternative to good palliative care but, instead, an extra component of a holistic palliative care plan"

Changes in the UK Data Protection and Digital Information Bill will exacerbate the existing power imbalances that migrants, refugees and asylum seekers have over their data.

This will lead to significant harms and an expansion of the #DigitalHostileEnvironment.

The Rwanda Bill (UK) "is a shameful and performatively cruel law that will risk people's lives and betray who we are as a society."

We've signed an open letter alongside 250 other civil society organisations to oppose this attack on human rights and the rule of law by an increasingly dangerous, authoritarian government in the UK.

If the government has its way, we'll be vulnerable to our data being used against us and less able to do anything about it.
