Indentured servitude as government policy? Great! Great news!!
Watching the Mahmood announcement and debate. Tory backbencher (Karen Bradley) suggests putting refugees into debt and making them repay during the rest of their lives. Mahmood says she’ll think about it.

VIP lanes and 25m faulty gowns: what PPE Medro trial reveals about Tory response to Covid
The government has won its legal claim against a company linked to the Conservative peer Michelle Mone for the return of millions of pounds paid for personal protective equipment during the Covid pandemic.
The Department of Health and Social Care sued the company, PPE Medpro, in December 2022, arguing that it had not complied with PPE laws to ensure that 25m surgical gowns it provided under a June 2020 government contract were sterile. Continue reading...

But failures in housing, public services and the economy are the long-standing fault of the government, not migrants or asylum seekers.

Without action, by the end of the parliament disposable incomes (after housing costs) will be on average £570 lower per year than today.
For those in the bottom third of incomes, the fall will be £1,110 per year ⬇️

We're on track for a decade of decline in families’ disposables incomes by the end of the parliament. But this is not inevitable.
The gov can introduce targeted policies like investing in social security, and interventions in key areas like housing and energy.

This would be laughable if it wasn't so serious: yet again, the Tories are claiming that we can get "all our oil and gas" from the North Sea and that we should be doing even more to support the industry to extract.
There are several reasons why we should treat this with maximum scepticism:
