Lowe proposed that MPs should house irregular migrants to demonstrate their commitment to the issue. He expressed skepticism about the Labour Party's claims of effectively addressing the migration crisis, citing a lack of accountability and efficiency in the public sector compared to the private sector.

The Economist: America’s rural-urban divide nurtures wannabe state-splitters
In Illinois, a movement for state division is gaining traction, particularly among rural voters who feel disconnected from Chicago's urban influence. A non-binding referendum in 2020 showed that 70% of voters in Massac County favored separating from Cook County, highlighting the rural-urban divide.
This sentiment reflects a broader trend of secessionism in the state, as communities seek to redefine their political and economic landscapes away from the dominance of the metropolis.

Breitbart: Govt Climate Advisers Decree Public Change Diets, Fly Less, Ditch Cars... and Start Walking
The UK Climate Change Committee has outlined significant lifestyle changes needed to meet the country's Net Zero emissions target by 2035, including reducing meat consumption, limiting air travel, and promoting public transport and electric vehicles. These recommendations suggest that individual behavior changes could contribute to about 10% of the necessary emissions reductions.
This stance contrasts with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's recent assurances that lifestyle changes would not be mandated. The committee's director emphasized the urgency for industries to adapt to new technologies, warning that failure to do so could lead to significant job losses, as seen in other sectors.

Ford Motor Co. is urging the UK government to implement consumer incentives to drive electric vehicle (EV) adoption, citing a backlash against imposed sales targets. The company's UK chair stated that without government support, the push for more EVs will fail as consumer demand dwindles.
The call for incentives comes amid job cuts in the UK automotive sector, with Stellantis announcing the closure of a plant, risking 1,100 jobs, and Ford planning to cut 800 jobs due to the challenges posed by EV targets and competition from cheaper alternatives.

Breitbart: 4 Years Later: Rush Limbaugh's Final Rendition of the Story of Thanksgiving
Rush Limbaugh's final recounting of the "True Story of Thanksgiving" in 2020 emphasized that the Pilgrims' initial communal approach, akin to socialism, led to hardship and failure. He argued that prosperity only emerged when individual land ownership and capitalist principles were introduced.
Limbaugh asserted that the traditional narrative of Thanksgiving often overlooks these economic lessons, focusing instead on the Pilgrims' gratitude towards Native Americans. He maintained that the real story involves the Pilgrims' relationship with God and their survival against the odds.
