Send us Fan MailSummaryPossibly the most chaotic episode of The Black Paper yet.We get into why UK visa applications have fallen off a cliff (and what that actually means for public services), unpack the West Midlands police chief’s AI-fuelled resignation, and chew over the latest political musical chairs as Conservatives defect to Reform.Facts were presented. Opinions were exchanged. Nobody fully agreed.If you enjoy Nigerian-style argumentative non-argument where everyone is right, wrong, and loudly convinced at the same time, this one’s for you.
