The British public: “Can you please, *please* just reduce immigration?”
Andy Burnham:
🚨🇦🇺 NEW: Andy Burnham and Anthony Albanese are set to discuss increasing restrictions on British backpackers using Working Holiday Visas in Australia
Proposals include removing an exemption that means Brits don’t have to do rural work to extend their visa as well as the introduction of a migration cap
You wouldn't think it, but public healthcare in a small Mexican town may be better than the NHS.

I doubt Mexican doctors need sign-off from three committees. Clearly, only doing right by their patients matters to them. Our doctors, nurses and paramedics are the same. We just don’t let them.

“The letters ask for a meeting to discuss "sources of wealth", "future intentions", trusts, companies, family arrangements and even "significant life events" you expect in the coming years.”
This is beyond sinister. Even though this won’t apply to many of us right now, it almost certainly will at some point - because that’s what socialism is about.
Even those who voted Labour didn’t know about or vote for this - because it was never mentioned in the manifesto. In fact they didn’t vote for most of the legislation this grubby pickpocket of a government has decided to force through without a mandate.
This horror of a government is intent on turning Britain into a socialist state whether we want it or not. Because their goal to implement Agenda 2030 doesn’t involve our consent, or even our welfare.
“You will own nothing and be happy”.
This is not a suggestion.
It’s an instruction.
HMRC has quietly sent hundreds of letters to wealthy people asking them to reveal what they own. Not what they earn or what tax they've paid, but what they own.
Here's what's going on. A unit called the Wealthy Team covers anyone with "incomes of £200,000 or more, or assets equal to or above £2m in any of the last three years". That's about 850,000 people. The letters ask for a meeting to discuss "sources of wealth", "future intentions", trusts, companies, family arrangements and even "significant life events" you expect in the coming years.
It is presented as voluntary, but there's a nudge: "We may still need to carry out compliance checks on your tax returns. However, speaking with you first may help avoid this."
Until now, inspectors have usually only asked about income and earnings. Experts call this a "sea change". One lawyer asked the obvious question: "does HMRC have a right to know what someone owns and not simply that they have paid the right amount of tax?" A tax adviser said: "No other G20 country asks for this level of detail from its taxpayers about what they own."
So what is it for? Advisers suspect it is groundwork for an exit tax, a charge on your wealth for leaving the country. As one put it: "Building that knowledge could indeed be part of moving towards an exit tax."
You don't have to be a billionaire to see the problem.

I was also invited to debate Andy Burnham. I obviously said yes. A few days before filming was apparently going to take place I was told I didn’t make the cut. Glad they covered all the most pressing issues.

Kevin Ghateh has been elected as the new National Chair of the Young Conservatives.

So this "Tory plant" defects, engineers an ITV sting with others also being extremely racist and misogynistic on camera, and he did this knowing it would torpedo his political career, lose him his job, and make him a social pariah all to create one bad headline for Reform?
🤣🤣🤣

Reform's Alan Feeney called British Asians "parasites" and said they should be put on planes to Pakistan.
Leaving Reform isn't enough. He should resign as a councillor today.
If Farage can't vet his councillors, why should anyone trust him to run the country?
Andy Burnham’s obsession with Manchester is costing Birmingham the attention it deserves.
