Sorry you can't afford to own a home, we had to beat China in the race to develop a better plagiarism app

Great nuanced take on what type of monitoring & evaluation techniques to apply and when.

£110 to go to Manchester, the train is so packed, you can’t move, I’m sat on the floor, it’s boiling. Broken Britain. Wonder what @CrossCountryUK profits were last year.

This is incredible… in just 30 years…

Absolutely ludicrous line of questioning by Justin Webb on #Today - "new employment policy is all about more support, don't you need more stick?" The entire employment support system is a stick

What do we call it when a government arms its civilian supporters then helps them to kill and burn out an undesirable population, in this case a subject population of non-citizens who have no meaningful rights

Whenever it snows in London it feels a bit sarcastic

I'm all for 'an honest conversation about immigration' but if all it is is 'the public don't want it' without mentioning that reducing it would be stagflationary then you're also not being honest.

no matter who wins, bombs will keep falling on Palestine, immigrants will keep being placed in concentration camps, illegal blockade of Cuba will continue, Congolese will still be exploited and forced to work in cobalt mines for Tesla electric cars and Apple mobile phones
