Times has now acknowledged the report misunderstood the data + misreported it bsky.app/profile/jdpo...
Jonathan PortesThe Times corrects its splash story headlined "Migrant care workers bring dozens of family members." The Times got this totally wrong. It then used its own error as the basis for an editorial calling explicitly for forced expulsions of people living here legally. www.thetimes.com/comment/regi...

Richard HermerIt has been the privilege of my life to serve my country as Attorney General over the last two years. I’ve been so lucky to be a part of Keir’s team, as he delivered for the public at home while rebuilding the UK’s reputation abroad, in particular on the rule of law.

Cassia RowlandThe day’s first casualty: James Timpson resigns as prisons minister. This is a big surprise! Timpson had a long history as a prisons reformer before entering government and seen as one of Starmer’s more innovative & exciting appointments. He’s also delivered a big change programme in gov. So: why?
Here it is! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... Well worth listening to the whole programme - Sarah Hadland and Jennifer Saint are both incredibly impressive, and brightened the mood a lot!.
