Answer me this Why do loyalists get to march through Catholic areas in Northern Ireland - despite the OBVIOUS potential for disorder - while UKIP don't get to march against Islamism through Muslim areas in London - even though the alleged disorder predicted is only hypothetical…

When I did a review of the role of quangos in the planning system for the previous Government, I asked for a simple list of what each quango was required to do by law, as well as their additional work. This list was deemed impossible to provide within the 3 months of my review.

We think of the British state as a juggernaut. But in many ways, it's often terrifyingly ramshackle - and as I say in @thetimes today, the govt's new announcements on business regulation are the perfect case in point. Nerdy but important thread. (1/?)

UKIP were allowed to protest in Liverpool in August, but they’re not in Tower Hamlets. Plenty of people in Liverpool would be offended by UKIP’s message. What is it about Tower Hamlets that is so different? This is effectively a two-tier right to protest.

The prospect of serious disorder has prompted us to intervene to prevent a protest organised by UKIP from taking place in Tower Hamlets on Saturday. It was calling for ‘mass deportations’ and had caused significant community concerns. More details 🔽 news.met.police.uk/news/met-inter…

NEW: 1.9 MILLION foreign nationals are claiming benefits in Britain. That’s a 42% increase since 2022. March 2022 and March 2025 the UK spent £24.79 billion on migrant benefits. We are NOT a charity. Time to start deportations like every sensible country. Via @migrationCtrl

Today we learned that 1.9m foreign citizens are claiming UK benefits, a number which climbs to 3.4m when you include those born abroad. Can we dispense with the fiction - still peddled by the Left - that immigration represents an economic miracle that makes us all better off.

There are ~4,741,000 social homes in England and Wales. 19.2% of social home tenants were born overseas. This means ~910,000 social homes in England and Wales are occupied by immigrants.

People overestimate debuggability. I spent a week debugging a short incorrect algorithm at work. The code used plain features like ‘if’ and ‘for’-loops. It still didn’t make sense. It still didn’t work. I rewrote it to a declarative pipeline, and it worked first time. I don’t…

Empathy for the victims requires that repeat violent offenders be incarcerated

Keep in mind that instituting a 3-strikes rule would eliminate 50+% of all crime Think about that. Really think about it. We would more than halve crime if we stopped letting people out after their 3rd crime. It’s not hard. Your judges and DAs despise you.

People got cancelled for suggesting that this was a social contagion.

This is quite extreme. Close to a halving of the number of young people identifying as transgender from 2022 to 2024! This is in line with other evidence indicating that wokeness is waning.
