A real 00s feel to this policy. Could see a tabloid front page with the headline 'Jab-ba the gut - tubby scroungers told get a jab or get a job' next to a story about Abi Titmuss stumbling out of a club with Paul Danan.

Right time for a good old fashioned fact check about this £1,600 to illegal immigrants claim. As always, this takes some unpacking but it is well worth it because some of our politicians are making claims with are demonstrably false. [Thread]

While Conservatives are bringing in tough measures to secure our borders, Labour want to pay illegal immigrants £1,600 a month.

All I want in life is for the point of order hat rule to be reinstated in the Commons.


Will Hayward is one of my favourite journalists. Obviously Wales focused but is not at all partisan in how he reports or holds politicians to account

Will Labour give Wales this money if you win the election? When I asked Keir Starmer in the spring he said he couldn’t commit to it.

Sainsbury's CEO Simon Roberts total pay for 2022/23 was £4.9m. On a 40 hour week, that's over £2k/hour. His lowest-paid workers earn just £11/hour. I asked how on earth that's justifiable, especially during a cost of living crisis. The silence was deafening.

I don't understand. This man isn't real and yet everyone who comments seems to act like he is. Is it some joke I'm not a part of?

I was really expecting that warning alarm to cause something akin to the end of kingsman, considering how the conspiracy theorists were selling it, and I'm just kind of disappointed now #emergencyalert
