I have been very puzzled by the behaviour expertly critiqued here.

For years, historians and experts were cautious about using the f-word to describe today's events. But that hesitation is gone now. 🧵

Home Office Ministers state publicly, on the record, that they are deliberately making life worse for older people and people with disabilities who depend on care services, but it's worth it because it reduces net migration.
