I reckon even after tomorrow’s fixtures United will still be in 4th place.
Who would have even thought that possible a few weeks ago.

The way to answer "has anybody done this since Idi Amin in 1972" would be for Conservatives to name a democratic government that revoked permanent settlement to remove legal rights & then deported, expelled those people.
Important they get asked to give the counter-example to "since Idi Amin"

Essential @sundersays.bsky.social thread on Katie Lam.
Ms Lam is proposing policies last used by Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in 1972.

Peston tells Lam that she said something that he "genuinely didn't understand". "But who are these people who came legally who should leave?"
This does not look like faux naivety.
He should know the answer!
She misleads in her answer to him.
