Scathing 'dose of reality' delivers putdown as Trump goes on 'invasion' rant
President Donald Trump was issued what one analyst described as a blunt “dose of reality” Thursday after he warned that an “INVASION” was underway at the U.S. southern border.In a Truth Social post, Trump threatened to “IMMEDIATELY” double tariffs on Mexico unless it stopped the “Huge CARAVANS” he claimed were marching toward the United States. While around 1,000 migrants entered Mexico from Guatemala last week, by Sunday, they had only reached the Mexican municipality of Tapachula, well over 1,000 miles from the U.S. border, according to The Latin Times.“I cover Mexico for The New York Times, and there is no such ‘invasion.’ About 1,500 people recently began walking north from the southern tip of Mexico — weeks away from the United States — and very few, if any, will reach the northern border,” wrote The New York Times’ Jack Nicas, who serves as the outlet’s Mexico City bureau chief.“Over the past two years, the Mexican government has repeatedly broken up these small caravans within days of them starting. And there have been far fewer of them since Trump took office. The reality is the number of illegal border crossings remain near historic lows.”The post was one of eight Trump fired off Thursday morning, including one demanding to know whether six Democratic lawmakers would be prosecuted and another that appeared to abandon his push for a diplomatic end to his deeply unpopular war against Iran.“So far today, the president has posted about a non-existent invasion, declared the U.S. will no longer engage with Iran and sidelined his vice-president to search for some unspecified ‘corruption,’ but only in blue states,” wrote journalist Chris Bury, formerly of ABC News.Mexican authorities have already moved against at least one caravan. Mexico’s National Guard and state police intercepted a group of about 100 migrants in the southern state of Chiapas on Nov. 10, according to The Latin Times.In his post, Trump tied the caravans to Republicans’ “perceived loss” in last week’s midterms, in which Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress.I cover Mexico for The New York Times, and there is no such "invasion."About 1,500 people recently began walking north from the southern tip of Mexico — weeks away from the United States — and very few, if any, will reach the northern border.Over the past two years, the Mexican government has repeatedly broken up these small caravans within days of them starting.

Sadiq Khan joins Labour figures urging PM not to water down electric vehicle targets – as it happened
This blog is now closedOn the Today programme this morning, the Labour MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy, a prominent leftwinger, indicated she might vote against legislation to implement the Alan Milburn proposals. She said she was concerned by the idea that the cuts would apply to people already getting sickness and disability benefits, and she said it appeared to be a breach of a promise given last year that people already getting Pip (the personal independence payment) would not lose it.She said:I just don’t think that you get a disabled young person into work by taking away the money that helps them to get into work.The cuts seem to land on young disabled people, and many of them are in college already or already in work. So I don’t see how you fix the first by punishing the second.Milburn said he concluded fundamental change was needed. He said:The whole system needs to be changed, because the system is geared to keeping people inactive when, for young people in particular, it’s all about how can you make them active, get them earning, learning, so that they can rely on a wage rather than on a benefit. So, this is not about cutting one benefit, it’s about rebuilding the system from scratch.He said that he decided existing claimants should be covered by the changes, not just new changes.It’s a big rewriting of the welfare system. And obviously one of the conundrums was, ‘Should this apply to only new claimants?’I came to the conclusion that wouldn’t be right, not least because you’ve got hundreds of thousands of young people stuck in a benefit system that is trapping them in poverty, giving them no prospect of prosperity or a job.Milburn admitted this meant the plans would not be “pain-free”.I’m not saying that any of this will be easy or that it will be pain-free because it won’t. You know, candidly, it could mean that some people will get less financial support at the beginning of their benefit claim than under the current system.He said he wanted the system to prioritise improving people’s life chances in the long term over easing their financial hardship in the short term.Actually for young people there’s a different debate that we’ve got to resolve, which is whether the priority is their longer-term life chances or just their immediate shorter-term finances.I think what the current system does, it prioritises the latter over the former. I believe that’s the wrong choice and it needs to be the other way around.He said, alongside the cuts to benefits he is proposing (see 11.56am), he wanted to improve employment support for young people.We need to make sure people have the opportunities to get an apprenticeship, a job, a work placement, a pre-apprenticeship, a college place.The menu of opportunities has got to increase. They’ll have a personal adviser, they’ll be coached all the way through. The adviser will stick with them until they have found a job or an apprenticeship or college place.He also confirmed he wants to let young people do some work before they start losing benefits.They will get immediate access to support if that’s what they need, if that’s the thing that is holding them back from being in education or training.He admitted that offering better employment support and mental health support would mean his plans would initially cost money. According to the Times, he did not did not deny claims the whole package could cost £6bn. But, in the long run, there would be savings, he said.Obviously this costs money. And frankly it’s a better use of money, both from the point of view of the young person and the taxpayer, to spend that money getting them into work rather than spending that money keeping them on benefits.This is the sort of fatuous thing about this debate. You’ve got to invest upfront in order to get savings out of the back end. Cost-free is fatuous. So we’ve got to be candid about that. It will need significant investment.To get a return on investment will take time … the only way of cutting the benefits bill sustainably is by getting young people into work, paying their taxes and being less reliant on benefits. Unless you are prepared to put the investment upfront it will never be possible.He said he was “confident” that Andy Burnham was full-square behind the changes that are needed.” Continue reading...
