Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

I would urge people to listen carefully to the Home Secretary's full speech in the Commons on Asylum & consider the full range of measures, the examples & the comments on other countries.
You don't have to like it all, but there ARE things which many have called for.

Telling us Reform wouldn't let asylum seekers stay for 2.5 years. Would not let them work. Would not let them study. Would not let them bring families. At all.
All gone under a Reform government. So will you let perfect be the enemy of the good and risk getting a Reform?

Why is Farage so keen to inflict austerity on Britain again?
Could it be because his party is stuffed full of former Tories?

I wouldn't. I'd put you in a box with Nigel Farage. Mouthy, destructive, divisive and lacking in MPs.
The right wing approach now is to put me in a box with an incredibly successful politician who just won a stunning victory.

People don’t like a tough talking Labour government. They don’t like it because Labour are getting things done. Immigration has to be dealt with. Safe routes needed to be reintroduced. Doctors need to know they were prioritised but now it someone else’s turn.

Here are some facts about the asylum plans that I've found in various sources (mainly the Guardian).
Rather than being negative about it all, identify the parts you don't like & discuss alternatives.
There are many things people have said they want to see & others which are being misreported.

'I don't like what the media has reported about the Government's stance on immigration so I'm going to vote Green, which will let in Farage's fascists who actually want to repatriate people of colour...'

The British public man…and this result is provisional— they always shift right once they have been adjusted for sample bias.
It worries me that so many people have such a low bar for wanting to cause such an insane amount of upheaval and national damage as this would cause.

Surprised how indignant a lot of people are about Davie’s resignation, given how relentlessly the BBC is criticised on here.
I don’t say the BBC should be beyond criticism. Far from it. But it’s not just the right that’s been steadily undermining it.
