NEW: The Tories publish their first bill in opposition. The Deportation Bill. It includes: 1. Automatic deportation for anyone who arrives in Britain illegally 2. Disapplying the Human Rights Act from all immigration matters 3. Doubling Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR)

Soft multiculturalism can be described as the state saying: “Look, we know people are different. All should be free to live as they please within the law. But we are going to unapologetically promote the majority culture, became that fosters maximum unity and cohesion.” Hard

When the pub dies, more goes with it than just a pint. I saw an interview with AJ Tracey the other day and it hit the nail on the head. Pubs are part of British culture. They’re where people meet. Where ideas are shared. Where strangers debate politics, sport, life. Where

An audit of London social housing would make fascinating reading.

These people ‘govern’ us

Guardian writer. Lives in a trendy London district. As usual, a complete inability to recognise that not everyone's experience of immigration is similar to her own. These people should visit our post-industrial regions every now and then. It's a very different phenomenon there.

We ‘tested the theory’ that migration is good for the economy by turning half of our cities into slums, turns out it didn’t work. Sorry about that chaps

The arc of history may be long but it ends in the sceptics being proven utterly right about migration. Next steps: start being smarter about which businesses and universities are permitted to sponsor visas, and which countries we issue them to.

Left-wing and centrist MPs currently making repeated points in the Commons about the ‘tone of the debate’ and ‘language on immigration’. They are so low-quality it’s indescribable. Afuera with the lot of them.

Asabi The Empire They are mostly a fiscal drain unfortunately. So yes they are a problem. I wish everyone could earn 1 mill, but unfortunately 99% of your compatriots are probably on no more than 40k a year— the state loses out. This is our home forever; this is an economic zone for you.

Uncontrolled immigration *did* cause these problems Denying reality needs to stop.

JamesHeartfield The History Novice Jonathan Lis My grandfather came here as one of those Irish labourers. He’d never have dreamt to claim he & his mates built Britain or some such shite. That’s not to undervalue what they did, it’s merely a cold hard fact. Englishmen built England. Why does that make many so uncomfortable?

My grandad coming to the UK postwar from Barbados after working for the RAF is not the same as someone coming here on a student visa for a digital marketing degree to work at Popeyes 👍🏽

Fetch the smelling salts! The UK prime minister is actually in step with public opinion. What a shocking turn of events in a democratic nation!

Staggeringly, it seems that Justice will be a department given less, not more, in the spending review. Utter madness when trials are being listed for 2029. Why spend billions on new trams, when the fundamentals are broken? They have seriously lost the plot.

Whoever doesn’t get it now is being paid not to get it

Genuinely the worst job in the world. Imagine getting handed over the British economy from the Sunak government and your own backbenchers won't even let you shave off a couple billion off the £313 billion welfare bill.

A stunning and shameful PMQs. Parliament has been denied its right to scrutinise the government for two years via a constitutionally unprecedented superinjunction. Huge amounts of public money has been spent in secret. 100,000 Afghans put in danger. Did any backbench MP get up

Blairites have this annoying tendency to treat institutions that were set up yesterday like the Supreme Court as these untouchable sacred cows, but doing it with legislation that literally came into effect yesterday is really taking the piss

David Lammy would be happy to send white working-class boys to the frontline against Russia but thinks they don’t deserve internships at the secret services. This policy is daft, it’s discriminatory, but most of all – it’s dangerous. My letter to the Foreign Secretary:
