Rejoining the EU might help Labour squeeze the Lib Dems - but it would also mean gutting Andy Burnham’s own policy agenda, from devolution to reindustrialisation to trade to regulation. My latest for @theipaper inews.co.uk/opinion/burnham-…

If you're truly putting yourself out there and trying to change your life, only two things can happen. Either you take the risk and win, or you take the risk and almost win. But you never lose Worst case scenario you come up short of whatever you envisioned in your head, but wherever you end up landing will always still be further than wherever you would've been had you not tried at all As long as you're in motion, failure is literally not within the realm of possibility. It's an outcome that's only reserved for the stationary. The bolder the action, the greater the safety net you ironically create for yourself

Douglas Murray highlights three core issues defining Britain's immigration problem, arguing that identity is the challenge few people are willing to discuss. He warns that the scale and speed of new arrivals has made integration impossible and created ghettos similar to the communities they've left behind.

She doesn't have a plummy accent. She's a well-to-do middle class girl, for sure. But she's a pretty standard issue of the professional classes. The way Palestinianism - and commie politics - has become socially high status for girls like this is really incredible.
British pro-Pal Chloe says that the Palestinian flag represents “freedom from capitalism, imperialism and colonialism” from her nice house in London. In her plummy accent she claims to be like the “workers” in Palestine. I honestly don’t get these people.

The Spectator is £99 for a one year subscription, much better than this tripe!
Owen Jones has, for the last three years, revealed himself to be a man of enormous courage, integrity and truthfulness. No one should think for a minute that his relentless defence of Palestinian rights and historical truth is easy or comes without heavy personal costs. Throughout the genocide in Gaza, Jones remained a tireless bur rigorous and supremely decent voice. I suspect part of what initially moved him was the strong displeasure in being treated like an idiot by the official propaganda – a noble motive in itself – but there is no question he has been genuinely touched by the images of suffering arriving daily from Gaza. And yet, how does his intellectual fixation on a battle between left and right help us understand the horrors of Gaza, or move us to stop them? My impression is that the opposite has happened. People look at what is happening in Gaza and ask themselves what a person on the right or on the left should think. In many cases this is ideology. In most, simply careerism and group association. Jones shows how limited the perspective really is. How about, like the author himself, asking how a human being should feel? How about returning to the world of facts and feelings rather than our endless Marvel franchise? newstatesman.com/culture/boo…

I’m running out of room.
My attempt at discussing what has driven violent riots & wanton destruction in France (not without interruption). I was also reacting to unhelpfully labelling Kemi Badenoch's mention of challenges of migration y'day, as a Trump-like dog whistle #PoliticsLive

Stella Creasy is not just thick but proud of being thick.
Claire Fox well and truly put Stella Creasy in her place during a fiery clash on Politics Live. Stella was doing the usual thing of virtue-signalling and accusing others of dog-whistling simply for suggesting the riots in France might have something to do with immigration and a lack of integration. Not the whole story, but a real part of it. Claire gave her both barrels. Stella claimed: “You are denigrating a community like mine where we have a diverse community.” Claire pointed out that she has actually read a wide range of French media to understand what is happening. Stella was citing Le Monde. Claire noted that is the equivalent of a British commentator citing only the Guardian. There is a serious conversation to be had about what is happening in France, Claire said. Young people there appear not to care about the country. They happily smash it up and destroy historic buildings. It is not only about immigration, she made clear, but to claim there is no element of this connected to immigration and the lack of integration of young immigrants is simply missing the point. If we are going to have a frank and open discussion, she argued, you must at least acknowledge that it is complicated and that there is a massive argument underway among people on many sides. Claire then told Stella she clearly had no real grasp of the debate because she had only read Le Monde rather than a broad range of French commentators on the left and the right. Stella claimed she had. Claire replied that in that case she would know that many French voices have said the lack of integration of many migrant communities has contributed to this. Stella just sat there smug, sniping dismissively. Claire finished by saying that the idea you cannot understand there are tensions in this country around the lack of integration in some migrant communities would be a serious mistake. Well said, @Fox_Claire. This is the reality. Politicians like Stella who stick their heads in the sand and attack anyone who raises these very real problems do tremendous harm. What is happening in France could happen here. The problem is growing in this country, not getting better. These conversations need to happen.

Stella Creasy displaying cognitive dissonance. Faced with problems of mass migration and integration the defenders of the status quo respond by defending 'Diversity' and casting aspersions on the motives of critics. The Emperor has no clothes. Everyone can see it bar them.

Well said Claire. Stella Creasy is everything that is wrong with our political system. Refuses to listen or engage with the substance. Infuriating having to debate with these adult toddlers.

This one's spectacular. In the 1960s, London's Mews were still being used to keep horses. This clip spoils us with a lovely glimpse of the people, pubs, and lifestyle among the cobbled backstreets that have since become expensive housing. They certainly had more personality then than nowadays. @Britains___Pubs

Yes, it is completely insane that EastEnders doesn’t reflect the demographics of modern London. The BBC hasn’t updated it because (a) nobody, apart from enthusiastic Noticers like myself, would actually watch the show if it did; and (b) the casting decisions could be justified RATIONALLY by modern demographic realities, which would raise some very awkward questions of their own! The BBC supports DEI, but will not support it when it is the most rational and justifiable course of action, because it will expose boomers to the brutal truth of what has happened to Britain! It’s a bizarre contradiction, but there it is!
I’m in a pub and Eastenders came on the TV, I notice the cast is still about 80% white British which is totally at odds with today’s London boroughs. Essentially they have 1995 demographics in the soap. Why aren’t they showing the reality? Why was there no gradual shift over the years in the storylines depicting the concerns of whites, whether or not they should “get out”? As with everything else in today’s Britain, it is a lie to paper over uncomfortable truths.

How desperate is an online PT for business when they DM you uninvited three times in one day, including voice notes. With the increasing sophistication of AI in tailoring diet and workouts, is the well running dry for the Bali based PDF merchants ?
