Correct me if I’m wrong but of the £1750 it costs to stay in a hotel after flying into the country only £700 goes to the hotel. £1000 goes to Serco? Dear me, who in the cabinet has their finger in that pie? #ToryCorruption

The apologism for #ShamimaBegum is sexist
“She’s a woman - so she must have been a victim of ISIS”
“She was groomed”
“She was forced onto the plane”
At some point people have to realise that women can be evil too.
And joining ISIS is not sneaking out to a One Direction concert

My son asked me to explain #Brexit recently. So, I told him to imagine if he & 27 of his classmates pooled their Lego & built for years. Then one day, one of them wants to leave & would like their Lego back. The blue ones.
He immediately grasped how complicated that would be.

For the record, Theresa May has spent 2 years and millions upon millions of tax-payer money / government resources on a #BrexitDeal that will never actually be signed.
Meanwhile, the NHS, the housing crisis, regional inequality... All those issues are just waiting.
