I will make an exception to my rule about EDMs to stand up for democracy and for refugees. I believe making confirmed refugees live in limbo fearing deportation does nothing for border control, our economy or their sanity. If I am wrong I still think elected representatives should get the chance to debate and vote on these plans. If you agree ask other MPs to add their name to EDM 2908 and let’s make sure Parliament has a say on how we treat those we have already given sanctuary.

69 acres of private Tuscany for €690k ($797k). The land includes an olive grove, a fruit orchard, a cork oak grove and 20 hectares of woodland. A natural spring produces 3,000 litres of water a day, solar panels cover the electricity and yes, it does have wifi. It's also been renovated, 370m² (3,983 sq ft) across 3 floors, 3 beds, 3 baths, with a pool and a sauna. 50 km to Volterra. Off-grid, self-sufficient, sauna, pool..what's missing here?

Holland and Sandbrook never cease to amaze you, really. Holland is meant to be the drippy liberal, and Sandbook the roast-beef conservative. But Holland is unquestionably, obviously correct. You don't need to be any sort of scholar to know this. Just be alive.

Given suggestions the Government should go further in subsidising bills again because of the conflict in Iran we wanted to look at what sort of govt interventions/policies were/weren't affordable. 50% think govt could subsidise bills to stop the impact of the war, 38% disagree

Fabian Labour MP, Stella Creasy was the predominant architect to push through legalising abortions, right until the moment of birth, for any reason. She was also the primary advocate for state sanctioned murder for elderly and disabled. Here are some quotes from Fabian founders: Sidney Webb wrote in 1907: “No consistent eugenist can be a ‘laisser-faire’ individualist… he must interfere, interfere, interfere!” And more bluntly, on reproduction: “The whole of the unskilled labourers… are now tending to multiply… and to transmit their incapacity to their children.” George Bernard Shaw, 1910: “We should find ourselves committed to kill a good many people who are not fit to live.” And on reproduction / social worth: “The right to live… is conditional.” Beatrice Webb wrote in her diary (early 1900s): “The multiplication of the feeble-minded, the diseased and the incapable is a terrible danger to the race.” And elsewhere: “No eugenicist can doubt that the… poor… are reproducing too fast.” H. G. Wells wrote in Anticipations (1901): “The swarms of black and brown… and dirty-white people… will have to go.” And more directly tied to class: “The irresponsible and unproductive elements of the population… will have to be eliminated.” Here she is with her baby. She thinks her baby matters more than your babies, because you're just poor working class scum that need eliminating.

'I think he's bananas about this stuff, frankly.' Podcaster Dominic Sandbrook takes umbrage with his co-host's 'rubbish' views on Islam.

Trump next to Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi: "Who knows better about surprises than Japan... why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"
