A bewildered Robert Jenrick under serious attack from David Lammy over the state the Tories left the prison & court systems in.
Failure on everything. And somehow the Shadow Justice Secretary tried to claim all the problems started just 14 months ago!
And Jenrick is meant to be the best they have?

Letter to the local community from asylum seekers living in overcrowded hotels:
"Coming to the UK, we have lost a lot of things in our past life.
You should not judge us by our appearance - our inner selves hold mountains of worries and sadness.
Many of us have left families behind."
"Coming to the UK, we have lost a lot of things in our past life.

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.
Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Absolutely agree. Everyone knows which countries who use their veto. It’s like the UN’s problem. Takes the relevance out of vital organisations and renders them impotent
Should the European Council tweak its rules to unblock Ukraine's accession bid?

It’s great that the number of people eligible to have the vax was slashed this year. How was that ever going to be a good plan JCVI?
Sorry to hear that hope you are soon better, I have had a dose of something horrible for the past two weeks, tested negative on a Covid but feels much like it..

It feels like I’m living in dystopia. Is the MSM really focussing on a donkey field now? Thank goodness all the other political parties remains scandal free. Would be awful if any other Party came under a spotlight wouldn’t it.

Evolve Politics:
Estate agents are legally required to verify the source of funds in property purchases.
Nigel Farage’s partner bought the £900k Clacton home in cash.
If Farage is the source of funds, and HMRC prove he’s the true beneficial owner, he’s evaded Stamp Duty.
That’s tax evasion.

The billionaire press barons must be having a right laugh…
Here we are distracted & arguing over asylum seekers (0.2% of the population)
Meanwhile, billionaires (just 0.0002% of the population) hoard more wealth than half the UK
Immigration isn’t draining us
Inequality is.

"Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, grabbing an Indian curry or Turkish kebab takeaway, then going home to sit on Swedish furniture & watch American shows on a Japanese TV, while being suspicious of anything foreign."

As concise as always! The root of this country’s problems exposed in a few, clear words.
Right wing coup = profits for corporations.
Services privatised.
Adult social care, profit margins of up to 42%.
Privately owned cataract surgeries, profit margins 32% - 43%.
Children’s care homes average profits of 23%.
Public money buys less. Higher taxes to pay for corporate profits.
