There a moments as a journalist working in Westminster that stick with you, this will be one of them.
This is so extremely brave, and a reminder that the epidemic of violence against women and girls affects every part of our society.
Nothing but respect for Charlotte for sharing this.
At 11.55 here Claude Moraes correctly points out that care workers/dependants are fiscally *positive* every year until about 2045.
In response, the Home Office official misstates the facts & clearly doesn't understand either the point or the actual data/analysis

We are just begin to get an inkling of how deeply embedded Peter Mandelson and Tony Blair were/are with the sinister rich. Every time you think you've seen the worst of it, something else emerges.

And so we write to brilliant postgraduate students from Sudan, withdrawing the offers and scholarships they won in open competition with the best in the world. A sad day for the University of Oxford.
In the time I've spent reading your posts in the last month alone I could have read both the Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.

Weird thing about Travelodge comms:
โThey followed procedures correctlyโ = WORST possible message.
Implies anyone staying in any Travelodge can expect staff to hand out room keys in the middle of the night to anyone who knows your name.
Somehow doubt that was the crisis comms goal.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

The point about the politicisation of judges is key. If we had responsible politicians who accept the concept of separation of powers, and newspapers who did not brand judges who rule in a manner they donโt like โenemies of the peopleโ, the idea might have (slightly more weight). But we donโt. /1

โOne in every four Flemings [residents of Flanders in Northern Belgium] cycled to work in 2024, which is twice as many as 20 years ago. Figures for Brussels too are astounding!โ
โCycling infrastructure in Flanders has improved significantly over the past 20 years, that's where it starts.โ
Every time a woman runs for president I hear that sheโs too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet

peaking to a left-wing think tank, the home secretary argued that the sheer scale of low-skilled migration in recent years โ including the vast, fraud-ridden expansion of the health and care visa โ will not only be a substantial fiscal negative for the country, but is deeply unfair for the existing working class, who will find themselves paying not just through their taxes but via pressure on social housing and NHS waiting lists. โIt is essential,โ she argued, โthat the privilege of living in this country for ever is earned, and not automatic.โ

Public service announcement: this is a FOSSIL FUEL CRISIS
Not an 'energy crisis'. People need energy: it keeps them alive. This is a crisis due to forced dependency on the most unreliable and unstable fuel product in human history.
THIS IS A FOSSIL FUEL CRISIS.
Never forget, the electric car is here to save the car industry, not the planet.

Bloody immigrants, coming over here, performing groundbreaking surgeries.
UK's first remote robotic surgery. Performed by Professor Prokar Dasgupta, born in Odisha, trained in Kolkata, then moved to London where he trained further.
Pedro Sรกnchez has taken a strong position in refusing the US demand to use Spanish bases to strike Iran. Europe should show solidarity with Spain in the face of Donald Trumpโs threats. https://bit.ly/4l7IYhs
Iranโs people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
This isnโt a hallucination, Michael Gove. Youโve never explained the millions you disbursed to buddies with your crony Covid Contracts.
Cashing in on the worst public health crisis in a century should disbar people from public life permanently.
