Keir Starmer: "This is my message to the people smuggling gangs: we will end your vile trade.

For the very first time, migrants arriving via small boat will be detained and returned to France.

My government has led the way in taking our countries’ co-operation to a new level."

It’s a big news week for the busy Labour Ministers. In under a year the progress Labour has made is amazing. Unseen for 14 lazy years it’s a shock to see so much going on. And so many big wins. Share the good news!!

One of the most extraordinary standoffs in DOJ history
DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

Council Funding from central Government has been cut by nearly 40% since 2010, now 50% or more of most councils budgets is spent on Social Care, including an average of £4,000 a week for children in private care.

This, Privatisation and defunding, is why councils have no money.

The USA is spending $10,000 per person to deport immigrants who will almost certainly return or be replaced by others.

But they won't fund food or equipment for school children.

What a sick country and what stupid people who celebrate it.

Not entirely sure where trumps sabre rattling is going to get him - apart from pissing off Denmark. The Danes have every right to re-consider whether they really want a US base in Greenland after trumps incredibly rude and inflamatory comments.

If Denmark invaded the US you would have free Healthcare, the minimum wage would triple, billionaires would pay tax, and you would be the happiest country in the world.

If you agree throw Donald Trump and Elon Musk in the harbor and raise the flag.

It's unanimous.

A majority of voters in every constituency in England, Scotland and Wales think the government should prioritise trade with the EU over Trump's America or other countries.

It's even the most popular view in Clacton. (Sorry Nigel 🙃)

Every year the UK gains about £300bn in wealth, nearly 90% goes to the richest 1% and most of it untaxed.

THIS is why there is no money, not disabled people, not immigrants, but blatant theft that we not only ignore but protect and encourage.

So, Tories finally admit they left the EU with no plan “for growth”.
They also had no plan for trade, science, the arts, business, jobs, training, education, travel, farming, fishing, borders, immigration, healthcare, regulations, food security…
for ANYTHING…
