🤦‍♂️ Nick Ferrari can’t believe what he’s hearing from the clueless Border Security Minister this morning. Things got a bit awkward with Anna Turley and Nick Ferrari on LBC. Watch it for your own amusement. He’s asking what happened to the “tough cookie” after Shabana Mahmood watered down her own immigration reforms yesterday. He says the cookie’s crumbled, hasn’t it? Turley: “No, not at all. Shabana is one of the toughest people I’ve ever met in my life.” Nick reacts with absolute bewilderment: “Oh, do me a favour! Respectfully, Minister, please!” 😂 He asks her to detail that toughness she showed yesterday. Turley can’t, so instead she reels off the usual lines about immigration down 80%, small boat crossings down 40% and removals up by 50%. Nick cuts in and asks where the removals are actually going. “Which countries do they go to?” Turley: “They go back to countries we’ve got an agreement with, who will accept them.” Ferrari: “Such as?” Cue mass panic from the minister. She’s looking left, right and centre for the details while people scramble in the background for information. 😂 She properly panics, stutters and stammers, and still waiting for the info she blurts out “Albania”, the first country she can think of. Ferrari keeps her on the hook knowing she’s scrambling: “80,000 people have all gone back to Albania?” Turley proper squirming now, looking everywhere: “No, no, a whole range of other countries.” Ferrari: “What are the other countries then?” Turley: “They go back to their countries of origin.” Ferrari: “But what are those countries?” Turley fully grasping at straws at this point: “Erm, countries in Africa, countries around the world.” Glorious. 😂 She was all over the place and Nick knew it and played her like a fiddle. Car crash after car crash with this lot, but that was pretty funny to watch.

Cheaper Marmalade….they’ll Luv that.. what about Gherkins ? Given that any thought ?

Together they represent one of the biggest transfers of wealth from households and businesses to the Treasury in decades - with no noticeable improvement in public services. Whether you're a business owner employing staff, a parent paying school fees, a farmer planning succession, an entrepreneur building wealth or simply someone trying to save for retirement... You keep less of what you earn. You keep less of what you invest. You leave less to your family. Death by a thousand cuts is becoming tax policy.

You know what’s more annoying than hard to cancel subscriptions Andy? A Prime Minister allowing the invasion of our country to continue day after day. A Prime Minister allowing the killers of a young police officer to walk free early. A Prime Minister who is out of his depth.

Donald Trump’s World Cup call to King Charles! Absolutely Hilarious, but I definitely think everyone needs a special Trump card in life. 🤣😂🤭🇬🇧🇺🇸✌️
