@DPJHodges Exactly. This isn’t a subtle shift in language but a deliberate attempt to reframe the debate around race and make overt racism appear acceptable or defensible. That should be called out for exactly what it is
@SuellaBraverman I’m proud to be English & also proud of my Asian heritage. Those identities aren’t mutually exclusive, recognising my English identity does not erase, diminish or deny my ancestry. You defining Englishness isn’t an objective fact but deliberate divisive way of stoking division
Throughout Europe, school results for children of migrants are worse than natives
Only in UK are they actually better
In fact, UK 2nd-gen migrants do better than ANY Euro cohort: native or immigrant
If demography is destiny, UK's doing ok.

Anti-Muslim hate crimes up 20% over year. At least 28 anti-migrant vigilante groups have emerged. Citizens Vigilante & Run, Hide, Fight: Infidels is intentionally inflaming situation. We should be challenging hatred, not feeding an atmosphere of fear & suspicion towards #Muslims
From being one of the main faces of the Marvel franchise, to being fired after being caught beating up his girlfriend and then appearing in this pile of Islamophobic crap - Majors has had a humiliating fall.
Glad he's not part of the MCU - enjoying appearing in garbage.
This is 17 yr old Jeremiah Carnegie from London. He realised that local families couldn't afford swimming lessons for their kids. So, he went to the bosses of the pool and proposed the idea of running a free, two-week swimming course.
The result: 780 kids signed up!
I don’t know whether Nicholas Brandram did it or not, but none of us deserve to be defined by our worst moment. However dark the future looks, however hopeless life feels, there are always people who care for you, things can always get better. The @samaritans are always there.
The RNLI Saves Lives. That’s the Whole Point.
Would-be London mayor Ant Middleton says the RNLI should be defunded, arguing that would stop it saving lives in the Channel.
Interested to know your thoughts ahead of a piece I will write later…

A six-year-old child has died and grown adults are laughing, celebrating and saying they hope it was painful.
If the death of a six-year-old brings you joy because of where she came from, something has gone seriously wrong with you.
A London AI Lab has just released an agent that outperforms Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5 on the task of replicating research.
NICE
The company, founded by DeepMinders, just emerged from stealth with a $50m seed led by Index.
The lab is called Inherent, and it’s just released Faraday - a 27B-parameter “AI Scientist” agent that outperforms Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5 on the task of replicating research.
It’s been trained via long-horizon RL with coding agents as a tool to learn the skills of a scientist.
This is VERY COOL. London AI is flying right now.
The largest source of irregular immigration is people who enter legally and then overstay their visas.
How do you deport them “within a week of arrival” when, at that point, they are here perfectly legally?
I feel like we’re totally ignoring that Cueta is not in Europe - it’s on Morocco’s northern coast - and that 80% of the migrants have already returned to Morocco voluntarily
But hey, why let facts and context get in the way of hysteria?
A positive way to end this World Cup. Congrats @BukayoSaka87 on a brilliant hat-trick! Thank you to everyone who has supported us here and at home. Time for a rest and a break. 🙌
