Priti Patel. Suella Braverman. Shabana Mahmood. Brown women desperate to be good little foot soldiers to white supremacy. Zora Neale Hurston was absolutely right when she said all skinfolk ain’t kinfolk.

Ghastly deja vu with the reappearance of John Humphreys (it's what they voted for ) on #broadcastinghouse today. If that wasn't bad enough, his recommendation of Sarah Sands for the new DG was the stuff of nightmares ...

To reiterate, this is about making life immeasurably more miserable and stressful for some of the most vulnerable people, in the almost certainly vain hope of winning over the votes of racists.

“Food and living costs are so much more expensive since Brexit,” he reflected. 🍌 🐟 🍗 🥛
Larry sniffed suspiciously at the chicken because it was marked “Not for EU”.

It’s surely a failing of UK government that they have still not managed to solve this problem.
Did you know that citizens of certain non EU countries are not affected by the 90-in-180-day problem because of special historic visa waivers their governments agreed with certain Schengen countries?
