I never thought that it would be Fraser Nelson to debunk the far-right lies, that Britain is an immigrant driven crime wave. The data doesn't back it up. But the usual suspects don't care because they're blinded by hate. The people who are ripping off this country are the rich.

According to Paul Hutcheon most Scottish Labour MSPs want Andy Burnham to replace Keir Starmer because Burnham gets devolution. Would this be the same Andy Burnham who attacked the FM during the pandemic after she imposed a travel ban when a Covid outbreak hit Manchester? He didn't 'get' devolution then and he won't get it if he replaces Starmer.
