RT @williamnhutton: Incredible 26 per cent poll lead for Labour sweeping all red wall seats - and being pro EU would increase their lead more. Labour could win increased majority by turning against Brexit, new poll finds - The Constitution Society https://consoc.org.uk/publications/red-wall-polling-2023/

@johnredwood So you think asylum seekers should face delays? Or travellers shouldn't? Have you checked what the delays are, if you want to claim asylum? I suggest you ask the home office for information on that.
PS holiday travellers are delayed by Brexit borders. Your choice.

RT @awjre: Possibly one of the most idiotic policies ever. They just cut £200m from Active Travel, train tickets are at sky high prices, and the solution is to what? Make flying cheaper for journeys that can be easily done by train? #ClimateCrisis

RT @HansNiesund: @afneil To put this in context, UK trade deals since Brexit vs trade with EU. In blue, current trade, in yellow, projected increase from the trade deal. Figures from DIT. CPTTP, pull the other one.

@afneil This is a terrible blow to environmental protections and to our sovereignty when it comes to what kind of imports we want. Rubbish deal when we could have still been in the EU and getting decent deals with environmental rules in place. Brexit was a scam.

@KoGCitizenship Precisely so. Home Sec dresses it up as if she's doing something for us. But the delays in processing asylum seekers are costing us billions to house the claimants, and transferring those billions to the providers. She redirects our anger to the people in boats to distract us.

How would imprisoning refugees in ships and army barracks save money over lodging them in hotels? Especially if you're going to issue the contracts for running them to friends of the Tory party so that they can buy their own offshore yacht with the proceeds? #AsylumSeekers

RT @lizziedearden: Here follows a story about how the government influences media coverage

At 10am yesterday, journalists were sent a watchdog report finding the UK spent £3.5bn of aid money - 1/3 entire budget - on refugees and asylum seekers already here in 2022

RT @createstreets: The air is cleaner now but sadly modern Birmingham has (physically) very little of the civic pride of 100 years ago. Demolishing one of the world’s very finest civic libraries was a bad start. A renaissance palace for the people with books.

No viable plan by government or industry to manage the long-term risks. That's the example given for internet infrastructure networks, but typical across so many key sectors. We need to take climate change and its impacts seriously.

RT @premnsikka: UK food price inflation rate hits 17.5%, adding £837 to annual household bills.

Energy, food, mortgage, rents, phone, broadband bills hiked, but govt pushes real wage cuts. No curbs on profiteering or executive pay.

We have never been in it altogether.

RT @SKinnock: The Prime Minister wrongly claimed that the Tories have halved asylum backlog since 2010.

But the @UKStatsAuth responded to my letter stating it had in fact increased eightfold - from 18,954 to 166,261.

Shameless from the PM.
