Now there's a surprise from the Daily Fail. A headline full of misleading information. * Almost all migrants have returned home to Morocco * Not a single migrant entered the Schengen area

New post just out: Splitting 14 year olds into academic and vocational paths seems intuitive. But it's a terrible idea that risks increasing inequality, and closing down options for the young people that need them most. (£/free trial) open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/bur…

Reform are now in all sorts of trouble. They’re sinking in the polls; their leader is doing electoral battle with a bin; even if Farage beats the bin he still faces a parliamentary inquiry into the non-declaration of his £5 million gift; they’ve been thrashed in Manchester.

Renewed focus on small boat arrivals. This is the Migration Watch "Channel Crossing Tracker", up to 29 July. It shows that despite this week's spike, they're still running below the 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 totals. That can't just be weather related surely.

This from clever Peter Kellner this morning. Several things of interest: there’s a tangible Burnham bounce; LAB outpolled REF + CON + RES together; RES got almost 8.7%; CONS (7.7%) still in big trouble. And tactical voting rules OK.

Brexit was like walking away from an Olympic tug-of-war team and expecting to pull harder on your own. When people claim Brexit wasn’t delivered correctly and even go on to claim Farage could’ve negotiated utopia remember this: It doesn’t matter who sits at the negotiating table. Leverage comes from economic and political weight. Brexit was always going to weaken the UK.
Liz Webster@LizWebsterSBF

Another new Brexit peer-reviewed study. Researchers found that the Brexit TCA disrupted UK firms’ European supply chains, leading to lower sales, fewer jobs and lower wages for businesses most exposed to EU trade. Brexit created paperwork and disrupted the flow of parts, materials and components that British businesses depend on. Ten years on, the evidence continues to point in the same direction: creating barriers with your largest trading partner comes at a huge economic cost. 🔗 theengineer.co.uk/content/news/b…

People rightly demand high food standards, environmental protection and animal welfare. Yet they often question the very people who deliver those outcomes. Sustainable farming cannot exist without sustainable farm businesses. Corporations have a legal duty to maximise returns for shareholders. Farmers have to balance making a living with looking after the land, their animals and producing food for the nation. If we continue squeezing farmers while expecting supermarkets and global markets to guarantee our food supply, we’ll end up importing more food from systems with standards we wouldn’t accept at home. Food security begins on profitable, sustainable British farms. Yet supermarket buying power, combined with Brexit’s drive towards deregulation and increased reliance on cheaper imports, is steadily undermining British food production. If this continues to destroy family farms, see next tweet for vision of what it assures: 1/2
James Statham@siskinredpoll

Is farming a business or a national asset to provide food for us all? Answer that and we know what to do! Farmers cannot have it both ways!
