"Laying the foundation of a facility" that will receive the excluded and unwanted people and from which they will not be allowed to return.
We're going to get pictures of them enjoying culturally rich lives there aren't we? 🤔
RT @rbarwanda: This Sunday, the U.K. Home Secretary @SuellaBraverman and Rwanda Infrastructure Minister, @Dr_ENsabimana, laid the foundation stone for the construction of about 1500 houses that will host immigrants from the UK, in the Gahanga…

@revpaulwhite @ColinFl80111099 The myth of "things as they really are", being something we can't reach but should, is a pernicious one. We can look at things with compassion or with greed, with fear or with empathy. That's the crucial issue.

RT @PeterStefanovi2: It’s being reported Boris Johnson’s spokesman has said
“The privileges committee will vindicate Boris Johnson's position. The evidence will show Boris Johnson did not knowlingly mislead parliament”

We're heading for another of capitalism's disastrous crashes aren't we?
No one else for the Tories to blame this time, but you can be sure they'll look after themselves and their donors first.

Is it cleaner to run a bus on a combustion engine using waste cooking oil or an electric car using nuclear power? Or neither because the changes need to be much bigger than this? Discuss.

@littlegreydog3 It wasn't bad. It was already~still~ the best & most efficient health service in the world. It needed some investment, which we could easily afford and would have yielded prosperity and good health, would have prepared it for what it now faces. Instead he crippled it with debt.

@danielgoyal @D_Raval Donors. So that they can buy another term of office.

@littlegreydog3 Confirms my point. The problems started with Tony Blair and his privatisation project. But it's gone from bad to worse since then.

@bubblecat They can't bear to face the fact that socialism works better than private enterprise no matter what measure you use.

Even if they don't care about the NHS for any other reason, the Tories will never manage to restore prosperity until they restore the free and efficient NHS that delivered a healthy happy workforce in the 20th century.

RT @PME_Politics: And here is where it gets super interesting:
Rather than ask a standalone ‘support or oppose’ question, if we set Gov policy up against an alternative, support drops by SIXTEEN pts, down to 37%.
And in fact, 40% preferred the alternative (immediately process asylum cases).

RT @PME_Politics: Here we go!!
How does changing question wording on the issue of small boats affect survey responses?
What happens if we set government position up against an alternative policy?
Well, unsurprisingly, measurements and conclusions can change quite a lot.

The Daily Mail is angry because @VixL took 30 students to see wonderful things in Greece, supervising them 24 hours a day so their parents could go to work. And this is not OK because (checks notes) parents are inconvenienced by teacher strikes. 🙄

RT @MJS_Derv: Well well well! The right wing think-tank the BBC Director General resigned from 2 months prior to joining the BBC is, apparently, on the BBC constantly! Unlike the other 150 or so such entities! Coincidence?

RT @jessicaelgot: New - We reveal Tories pressured the BBC not to describe Johnson’s Jimmy Saville jibes against Keir Starmer as false. In this case, editors did push back.

@NicolaKelly Worse than that. It's released to make people scared and intimidated, and they've deliberately shown people of colour being targeted by white officers.

RT @paul_c_watson: Hi @BBCNews over the last 24 hours your article has been completely discredited on every level. How about taking it down and apologising to the brave, inspirational women involved, especially those whose safety this article has endangered?
