Conservative MPs Want to Scrap Workers’ Rights to Paid Holiday and Annual Leave.
They are also seeking to overturn protections from sexual harassment, calling them an attack on “free speech”.
Unelectable, dark-age cranks, every last Conservative.

EVERYTHING stopped for the pandemic... except Brexit.
Boris Johnson could have extended the transition period with one letter to the EU, and taken the distraction off the table to concentrate all national resources on fighting Covid - but he didn't.

Well yesterday was a fascinating turn of events in the House of Commons.
The MPs voted, but a majority of just two, that the House could introduce a bill to legislate for Proportional Representation for Westminster elections. 🙌
Amazing. This is a very different parliament to the last.

So it turns out they spent £715 million on sending a grand total of FOUR volunteers to Rwanda.
For comparison, this is more than you could expect to spend on building an entire brand new hospital in the UK

In July, I FOI'd the Home Office for the full breakdown of spending on the Rwanda scheme
I was refused because the government planned to publish the data in future, and today is the day. These numbers are in millions

You can rightly deplore the venal charlatans who sold us this economic suicide, but I also now blame everyone in our political class, including those in government, who continue to bury their heads in the sand and insist we cannot reverse this most catastrophically stupid error. Shame on them all.

I remember during the Brexit referendum that leading Brexiteers *insisted* that they were not isolationists and little Englanders.
They *were* team players, but it was just the EU was wrong.
But then they wanted out of Single Market… then ECHR…
…and now UN and ICC too.
