I think it would be fine if it only applied to new arrivals but moving the goalposts on those already here is going to be a vote loser

This is a really odd take. Labour lost in a democratic vote, their position on Gaza and unpopularity with the electorate is causing its voters to switch parties as a protest.

I would love a bar chart in this article, hard to know how many votes Labour had in the first paragraph and how many the other parties had like Tories.

He's already pricing in a loss with the family voting news, claiming it may not be a free and fair election.

That looks remarkably like the same house from 3 different angles and one other house.

Whipsaw refers to a situation characterized by rapid changes between two opposing states or conditions, often causing confusion or distress.

Is he confused or distressed?

Catholicism

He's also been in the civil service since 1991 so I believe tenure is considered as part of his payout.

Unfortunately they really do need time away from leading to refresh the party.

They should have taken the UK government to court over HS2 funding and the Barnett formula in order to boost council and NHS funding.

Isn't Sinners just a new take on From Dusk Til Dawn?

It was a big mistake appointing Mandelson. They must have thought it was a masterstroke given his and Trump's mutual friend.

Though I also think Starmer's mistakes get disproportionate attention compared to Farage, especially on the BBC.

Not a media concoction, Starmer's government is doing some good things that nobody hears about, and some bad things (welfare, winter payments) that everybody hears about.

I'm not surprised his team all resigned because his PLP demanded it and his comms has been awful.

Was she lying about Starmer ignoring security vetting appointing Mandelson?

I thought this wasn't known yet.

UK politics recently is a million urgent press conferences where the leader has nothing new to say.

Where does one find that Del Gazeebo song? It's brilliant.

Especially on the international stage where Brexit damaged our reputation. But also Rail ownership, NHS investment, stabilise economy post-Truss, reducing immigration to 200k, scrap onshore wind ban, increase defence spending, trade deals with US, India, EU. Minimum wage increase, fix prisons.

Johnson the most useless prime minister in history though, regularly shirked responsibilities, one of the quietest legislative agendas in parliamentary history.

I agree Starmer was never popular but this slide is post Boris, Truss and Sunak. Despite his unpopularity, he's achieved a great deal.

I don't think he'd be quite so unpopular if he'd come after May for example. By the time of Truss, the electorate have become deeply distrusting.

18 months isn't long to turn around 14 years of mismanagement and I get why he isn't popular "as a personality" but charisma can be deceiving to delivery

I found it a lot kinder than the UK version (especially season 3 of UK where you were banished for batting an eyelid). Maybe that will change as it matures in later seasons.

It's a lot like From Dusk Till Dawn. Starts off relatively normal and then it goes completely off piste.

Oh Jack. You didn't stand a chance you absolute melt.

What a phenomenal ending! Once they split the faithful votes at the endgame, it was only going to go one way.

I'm enjoying Stephen's Saturday Night Fever jumper t-shirts

The mannerisms, it's uncanny. Much more competent than Liz but still has the ability to self destruct

Is there a connection between Harriet and Liz Truss?

Did she just sacrifice herself to get out early and finish her book? A switch just flicked and she acted batshit for the entire episode

It's a criminal issue that shouldn't belong in Ofcoms remit and the organisation is toothless at the best of times, funded through companies it relegates.

People don't want a "strong man" necessarily but someone with his hands on the levers instead of saying "it's not my job, it's theirs".

The main reason why the anti establishment parties are cutting through. Hiding behind ofcom, OBR etc instead of showing strong leadership

The article is saying the opposite, that some dog food isn't just a by product of meat eaten by humans, it's prime cut meat from a different animal.
