The BBC are faced with a simple choice: Distribute tory propaganda or get sold off.

They've been taking the piss for years. All because childishly they cannot accept any criticism. Even Clarkson is supporting Lineker.  |

Michael Vaughan got away with his right-wing views on Twitter while working for the BBC. Some of them were appalling.
The Nazis didn't start murdering people as soon as they came into power. It was a gradual process of dehumanisation by outlets like the newspaper Der Sturmer.
I'm certainly not comparing that time with now just saying it starts with words and some of the language of Braverman, Patel etc. is vaguely dehumanising.

Figures just released show immigration is at its highest level since records began. Will the public welcome that?
Net migration was 606,000 in the 12 months up to December 2022. This figure reflects three key trends. That the government’s immigration policy since Brexit has intentionally brought more people in to fill gaps in sectors such as the NHS and social care. That the UK has welcomed thousands of people fleeing war in Ukraine and anti-democratic clampdowns in Hong Kong. And that the UK’s higher education sector is increasingly dependent on foreign students.
The public broadly supports these three different groups of migrants. This helps explain why even though almost half of the public want immigration reduced they aren’t sure where those cuts should fall. In general, attitudes towards immigration have become more positive since 2016.
In November, Starmer told business leaders that any increase in migration must be matched by business investment in homegrown skills. Labour’s announcement yesterday – that it would scrap rules allowing companies to pay foreign workers less.
Labour is trying to outflank the Tories on immigration. Remember that the Conservatives are vulnerable on the topic: left-wing voters dislike their harsh rhetoric and those on the right think they’re incompetent. Starmer’s comments at PMQs yesterday showed Labour will try to frame the government as having lost control.
Brexit was supposed to give the UK control over its borders. But there’s a risk that voters will once again think immigration is uncontrolled if they see little alignment between what politicians say and what they do.

Well done Tories. You have utterly failed to sort out the one thing you obsess over... Net migration boosted the UK population by a record 745,000 in the year to December 2022, fuelled in part by a surge in overseas professionals arriving to work in the NHS and care homes and prompting a furious response from rightwing Conservativeswww.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67506641 |
