@FT @DAaronovitch Every government since 1945 has been elected by a minority of voters. Not one has got more than 50% of the votes.

Opinion: Our first-past-the-post electoral system cannot handle the new era of multi-party politics. ft.trib.al/8wkUvt6

@politixintheuk The net migration figures are rubbish because they are based on an assumption that everyone leaves when they are supposed to. The government doesn't actually check that they have left when compiling the figures.

Times columnist Fraser Nelson pointed out over the weekend that new Home Office statistics paint a striking picture: net migration has fallen dramatically since Labour entered government, now sitting around 80 per cent below the record highs reached under the Conservatives. And it is not just the headline figure shifting. Remove international students from the equation and long-term immigration levels are now “probably at a multi-year low”, Nelson wrote on his Substack — a remarkable turnaround after years of Tory chaos, broken promises and soaring numbers. The asylum backlog is also being rapidly reduced under Labour. After ballooning in the aftermath of Covid while successive Conservative ministers appeared paralysed and unwilling to grip the crisis, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has begun making serious progress in clearing the system. Away from the Westminster psychodrama and endless Reform stunts, an uncomfortable reality is emerging for Labour’s opponents: the Government may quietly be delivering results where the Tories failed for years.

@japantimes Will Japan's blurry pictures be better than the USA's blurry pictures.

The government's top spokesman said that Tokyo is analyzing "with great interest" a trove of previously classified files on alleged UFO sightings released by the Pentagon on Friday — including videos taken near Japan. 👉 ebx.sh/PHEaYM

@PaulEmbery He was a bit like a WW1 general with a one more push mentality. I don't think he would have beaten the tories. People forget his disastrous shadow budget in the 1992 General Election.

On this day 32 years ago, Labour leader John Smith died suddenly. A politician of conviction, decency and integrity.

@lwkyRohit When you use your last wish from a genie for a horse cock without being specific.

i thought bro married a centaur 😭😭😂

@Daniel_Sugarman Not Polansk's fault that everytime he looks in the mirror, he hypnotises himself and inflates his CV.

Important thread. I'm just surprised that Polanski, given his previous roles as Chief Executive of HMRC, Governor of the Bank of England and Chief Spokesperson for Compare the Market, would have allowed himself to slip up in this way.

@SkyFootball More time to chuck all the surveillance equipment and mobiles into the solent?

Southampton chief executive Phil Parsons says the club have asked for time to complete an internal review into the events leading up to a member of staff allegedly caught spying on Middlesbrough training last week.

@CraigHope_DM What are the odds that the analyst's mobile disappears like Morgan McSweeney's mobile?

🚨 EFL asked to obtain records & digital footprint that could prove Southampton have spied on rivals more than once 👇 Full story 👇

@Glinner The allied side doesn't interest RTE at all.

I am disgusted that Father Ted is being used as a fig leaf to cover RTE's disgraceful antisemitism.

@Steven_Swinford Has he paid no council tax in 3 years?

Zack Polanski has admitted he was living on an east London houseboat and may owe council tax after days of refusing to answer questions about it The Green Party leader released a statement late last night - at the peak of the turmoil surrounding Starmer's leadership - and apologised for what he descibed as an 'unintentional mistake' He said he has 'immediately taken steps to pay any council tax he may be found to owe All credit to my colleague @JamesSBeal, who broke the story in the first place When he went to the Greens they told him that he only stayed there 'occasionally' while living primarily at a rented property in Hackney where his council tax was included in the rent That statement has now emerged to be untrue - he lived there, it was his main home and he may owe council tax

@LBC He used hypnosis on himself to inflate his CV.

Zack Polanski falsely claimed to have worked at the Ministry of Justice lbc.co.uk/article/zack-p…

@Ameer_Kotecha He was successful in the assisted dying of his own career.

What’s the one thing that’ll be written on Starmer’s political tombstone? Chagos? Winter fuel? Southport?

@Civixplorer Does Ireland actually have an airforce, or is it just two blokes with a kite?

@Peston They could just cross the Channel by dinghy and hey presto not only are they in, but they get a free house.

Starmer says he will block “far right agitators from travelling to Britain” for a weekend march

@UAPReportingCnt There is a large bunch of men with their fingers crossed that the aliens are catgirls.

🚨 I’ve always believed Steven Spielberg knows far more about the UAP mystery than he’s ever publicly said. Maybe Disclosure Day is his final message to the world… revealing the truth the best way he knows how.

@disclosureorg It is now more of a question of what is more blurry, UAP images or bigfoot images.

NewsNation: 46 more declassified UAP videos that the House Oversight Committee requested are coming out next week and are likely to be the most revealing. reddit.com/r/UFOs/comment…

@nikicaga This is the world supporters of PR want.

I'm sorry Brits but you need to either figure shit out or change your electoral system You simply cannot have 5+ major parties and FPTP!

@rosscoulthart Sorry but as someone from the UK, I cannot seriously believe my government is competent enough to organise a cover up for decades.

“If the U.S.government is seeing all these strange things around the globe and cannot explain them, why are other nations, like the United Kingdom and Australia, not being up front with their own citizens? It’s clear now that there is a global cover-up.”

@mahirusoldier Interstellar war started when human tries to bone a catgirl.

>The aliens are 5'4, 49 kg catgirls I have to go

@Truthpole A drone doing some sort of survey is definitely more realistic than alien tourists doing an obstacle course.

🚨 One of the most interesting UFO videos that released by GOV today It's interesting amd shocking how this object intelligently avoids the Wind turbines , not to mentions its speed . Most conventional explanations would be that this is a drone but who am I to tell
