The whole absurdity of the Rwanda scheme, in 60 seconds, from @SkyNews' @Chesh. A performative, reputation-trashing drop in the ocean, at the cost of £660,000 per removee. Please share! ~AA
Rwanda: A day of shame We should hang our fucking heads for what is being done in our name. iandunt.substack.com/p/rwanda-a-day…
🚨🔥NEW: hunt winds down scheme that put £200m into social housing — done quietly as part of #Budget2024. Whitehall baffled given housing crisis; cash-strapped councils livid. Million+ on housing waitlists. Scoop via @FT. Me with @JenWilliams_FT on.ft.com/3v7ZqZy
Want to know why Michelle Donelan was forced to make an extraordinary apology to two academics earlier today? It's a bizarre tale involving Policy Exchange, a secret government dossier and a libel case paid for by the taxpayer A short thread (1/10)
@David_Cameron @ForeignSecUK can you do something ? UK spent 20 years tellling Afghan girls and women they could be free and now we refuse to let them in to play concerts sponsored by @southbankcentre
Observations from this mornings #SafeStreetsNow in Exeter. ❌~80 would’ve driven through illegally 💚 12’s of parents were supportive ✅ 1 taxi, very supportive (others thanked us) ☠️ 1 dad will ‘drive over you if you are there tomorrow’ 🤬 5-6 angry folk shouted at us

Protesters against the Heavitree and Whipton Active Streets Trial ask on their banners ' did you vote for this?' Well...yes. Yes we did.
For how long has it been obvious, but denied by the ultras, that alignment was the only way to unlock the Northern Ireland trilemma? We got, still get, a bit sidetracked by the unnecessary concept for these purposes of dynamic alignment. Alignment is key, not dynamic...
It is worth re-watching this. Almost every, single prediction is wrong. Line for line.

UK ‘used to be a leader on climate’, lament European lawmakers - exactly as we feared. #Brexit is a disaster in so many ways & especially for nature & wildlife. UK falling behind “in almost every aspect of environmental regulation” - what an indictment theguardian.com/environment/20…
For months, I have been working with environmental experts to track the gaping chasm in environmental law between the UK and the EU since Brexit. The results are shocking, and the @guardian has just published them theguardian.com/environment/20…
@IanDunt To its credit, @Channel4News interviewed two asylum-seekers as part of its coverage on Wednesday. It was a really valuable reminder that the Rwanda policy is about real people's lives, not just some board game played for party advantage at Westminster. x.com/Channel4News/s…

“The government has problems it can’t solve and now they are looking for a group of people to point their fingers at.” @darshnasoni speaks to two asylum seekers left in legal no man’s land by the Rwanda Bill.
We have serious concerns about the Devon County Council report on the Heavitree and Whipton Active Streets Trial.🧵TL;DR dodgy data, random new metrics, weird/manipulative use of RAG status and no analysis, no alternatives, and no consideration of the council's own strategies.
Devon County Council want to cancel a trial which achieved a 40% increase in cycling and a 7% increase in walking in its first month, based on data from the first six weeks. What other cunning plans have they got instead?
The scandal of the settlement scheme for EU citizens. New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog. It's easy to be outraged by the PO scandal now, but what about the currently emerging Brexit scandal of the EUSS? And what are the wider implications for Brexit? chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-sc…
What will prevent the UK from rejoining the EU in the near future is not wider public opinion but rather the inability of a narrow UK political and media class to get over humiliation at the implosion of their delusions of grandeur
This is terrible. Terrible. Just utter cowardice.

@timothy_stanley @JamesCleverly It won't even affect net migration much. Inward migration last year = 1.2 million. Total number of spouse/partner visas = 65,000 (some of whom would meet the threshold). Drop in the ocean in policy terms. But exile or family break up for those affected.

How can a modern advanced country full of intelligent competent people end up with this ridiculous “solution” to the Brexit trade disaster? It’s a national embarrassment foisted on us by the flag-obsessed Brexit pretend-patriots.

"Smaller exporters may 'shy away' as Britain becomes more costly and bureaucratic to trade with, leaving consumers facing more expensive produce. 'It’s a disaster for the UK.'" Wonderfully detailed story - a snapshot of something replicated across so many sectors. ~AA

Really good piece that gets to the heart of my frustration with coverage of Reform. They are fundamentally hollow, but retain enormous power because they fit with an interesting narrative for the governing party and wide chunks of the press.

Politicians say they’ll do whatever it takes to stop the boats & the drownings. But the one thing they won’t do is give people safe alternative ways to travel. So we’ll always be waiting for the next tragedy. Safe routes are the only thing that will stop the smugglers #r4today
