California’s giant redwoods find a happier home on UK soil
There are six times more giant sequoias in Britain than in the Golden State, which has suffered drought and forest fires, a study finds ⬇️

Government pledges made and then broken. Wishes of the people noted down and ignored. Six decades of polling showing opposition to immigration. Government pledges to enact those wishes. All ignored and abandoned. Remember this in the context of the ILR debate!
@PritaniDan That c.25-28% Reform vote is sticky now and will only grow. The Tory party is dead to swathes of its former electorate. I was previously a member and I will never ever forgive them.
@markgsx_r Roger on staggering costs. But yet France gets an SSBN force with a greater sovereign independence than ours & sufficiently good SSN availability that theirs are now de-lousing our V boats because we can’t do it. Oh + a carrier with a proper air wing. All for similar money
Exactly, this is why these people who look solely at the worlds of law and ideals are so frustrating.
The REASON parties like Reform are proposing these drastic measures is because the mainstream parties have utterly failed to control immigration. If they had only been sensible, and tightly controller the flow, particularly the flow that leads to citizenship, none of this would be necessary, and we could all happily go on in a world of uncomplicated citizenship. But THEY failed to do their duty in government and so someone has to pick up the pieces.
@mrianleslie Glad it's not just me who finds talk of the "UK" very stilted and lanyardian. Normal people say "Britain" and politicians should too, unless there's a very specific Northern Ireland-themed reason.
This is the level of barbarity is what we are dealing with. Everyone in the British government & senior civil service knew that male asylum seekers from Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq etc had an tendency towards sexual violence & they waved them into the country anyway. Criminal.
A glazed-over Prime Minister dressed like shit at a flytipping site in Bradford(!) referencing "yookay law" and defending a state-issued booklet confessing the state's knowledge that it's settling diabolical men from incompatible/hostile cultures here en masse.
Subtle decline.
Andy Burnham has defended the Home Office guide that tells asylum seekers not to rape or harass people.
Asked about the booklet, the prime minister said the government wanted to make UK law "explicitly clear".

Seems like a very pivotal moment.
Maybe a year ago the Overton window wasn’t ready to say this out loud.
But when the state is now confirming the worst in writing, you can’t deny reality anymore.
Andy Burnham is about to dump 1200 unvetted adult male illegal migrants on a tiny village, resulting in locals putting up with a ratio of SIX MEN TO EVERY WOMAN.
The Home Office is boasting about closing a few asylum hotels.
Only about 5% of small boat migrants have been sent back.
They're going to put them in every part of the country as Burnham lectures us about needing to 'play our part'.
What will that look like?
One small village has just found out.
The government is planning to move 1,200 adult to a site near the tiny village of Linton-on-Ouse in Yorkshire.
It is situated right next to a nursery and primary school.
What's more, given the village's small population, this move will result in a ratio of 6 men to every woman in the village, according to a local MP.
Burnham is directly endangering British women and girls.
That’s why a former Tory minister is joking about putting brothels there for them.
These people are sick.
We don't have to live like this.
A Reform government will detain and deport EVERY illegal migrant the Tories and Labour brought here.
Hislopist-Binfaceism is a comfort blanket for people who are almost literally incapable of confronting the frightening challenges of British politics in 2026, & prefer to live in a kind of eternal 1998, talking about Tory Sleaze & The Bankers & Sure Start.
@LoftusSteve Who cares? Wouldn't matter if he had a VC. The Wallacewave is an appalling act of treachery that has put British people in harms way to satisfy officer corps delusions.
One of the differences between the U.S. and Europe is that the U.S. lets its petroleum and mineral elites loose, and they keep pulling rabbits out of the hat.
