Who was it who signed the deal that omitted a returns deal? Who was the PM when the small boats crisis started? Anyone know?
The idiotic Starmer has axed this country's only practical plan to deal with the boats – at French behest! – while the French cynically refuse to do enough to help.

Happy Brexit referendum anniversary day. It weakened the economy. Reduced investment. Tanked the pound. Damaged the City. Increased red tape. Increased immigration. Decreased the rights of the young. Staffed billions wasted. But hey - Johnson has PM on his CV and his partner in crime Farage has replaced him as the darling of the right wing rags. So all worth it for the tiny minority who gained out of an act of national self harm

The scenes in Liverpool are appalling — my thoughts are with all those injured or affected.
I want to thank the police and emergency services for their swift and ongoing response to this shocking incident.
I’m being kept updated on developments and ask that we give the police the space they need to investigate.

Starmer, a bit of advice…
Better to lose power and keep your humanity than lose your humanity to keep power.

If Britain feels like an island of strangers then it’s not because of migrants, but inequality.
Everything of value is eroded, social lives included. No one can afford to eat out with friends, visit family by train, or whatever. We work, shop at Tesco, pay rent, and that’s it.

I’m grandson of an Irish migrant, living in one of the most diverse communities in the country. We get along together pretty well with every section of the community making its contribution. Talk of an “island of strangers” shockingly echoes the divisive language of Enoch Powell

Anti-immigration policies stoke division and harm people, our public services and economy, while doing nothing to address the real problems caused by austerity.
Let’s offer solutions not scapegoating.

Sheffield Central is not “an island of strangers.” We are a mosaic of neighbours, friends and families from across the world. We all cooperate and contribute to our community.
Our country was rebuilt from the contribution of successive generations of migrants, like my grandfather and father who worked tirelessly in the steel industry. They were not strangers, but part of a city and country that welcomed them.

Thirty four days ago, Ukraine responded positively to the U.S. proposal for a full and unconditional ceasefire. And for thirty four days now, Russia has been openly refusing to cease fire. Putin remains focused on continuing the war. Russian state propagandists are preparing their audience for the idea that diplomacy will not bring any results.
There is only one reason for this – in Moscow, they are not afraid. If there is no strong enough pressure on Russia, they will keep doing what they are used to – they will keep waging war.
We all want this to end. Peace is needed – and it must be lasting. That is why Ukraine always works constructively with its partners, in all formats that can bring security and restore peace. We are not just ready for peace quickly – Ukraine has never wanted this war, not for a single second.
And when the war ends, the world will clearly know: it happened because Russia, the aggressor, was forced into peace. The same aggressor that came to Ukrainian land in 2014 – 11 years ago. And it’s important for everyone that this doesn’t take more years.

Recently, Nigel Farage stood on stage in America and lied about free speech being under threat in the UK.
Today, Donald Trump is going to ban all protests he doesn’t agree with.
I presume Nigel Farage will be tweeting his condemnation in 3,2,1….

The fucking godforsaken cowardice of these people. I'm not even a fan of newspaper endorsements. But if you can't summon the courage to offer one when your democracy is on the brink, you don't don't know what you're for.

The @washingtonpost has caved in to a traitorous autocrat. Shades of 1930s Germany.

Chance of a lifetime lost for a young English coach, but he’s got a blue passport so I’m sure he’ll get over it 👍

Rishi Sunak attacks Keir Starmer for means testing the winter fuel allowance and taking away money from "Britain's vulnerable pensioners"
Here's a reminder of the manifesto Rishi Sunak stood on in 2017 #PMQs

Conservative MP Mel Stride claims PIP benefit is thousands of pounds per month.
No it is an absolute maximum of £780 a month, and most people only get about £250.
Meanwhile he claims £1,250 a month in rent on his expenses
Lying, thieving b******

It's pretty obvious that Elon Musk exercises immense power and uses it with complete irresponsibility. He is accountable to no one, it seems. We need to think seriously about how we as a country respond

Are you for fucking real?
You Tories bear huge responsibility for the mayhem and menace on our streets. The far-right thugs are chanting your slogan ‘Stop the Boats!’
So no, we don’t miss you.
And this kind of inappropriately smug idiocy reminds us how glad we are you’re gone.
