Critics argue that the ECHR stops us from being able to deport illegal migrants. In reality, in 75 years the ECHR has only ruled against the UK in 13 cases out of 500k: 0.000026%. The ECHR is being used a scapegoat for domestic challenges, and we must defend it.

Another depressingly tone-deaf performance by Badenoch at #PMQs. Our continent is threatened from East and West, and Kemi wants to talk Westminster gossip. Rarely have I seen anyone as witless, be so pleased with themselves. Truss springs to mind. Johnson. Cameron.
WAIT - I think I see a pattern.

Sorry Rory but Jeremy Hunt and Osborne were VERY poorly intentioned. Have you experienced any of our public services? Hunt in particular with our NHS. Remember Grayling and Johnson, Braverman, Jenrick, Patel, they were evil. Highest Tax and Debt but NOTHING WORKED. Why?

@newsagents.bsky.social Can you bring on a Conservative ex chancellor and talk about the highest Taxes and Debt in 70 years but NOTHING WORKS. Where did all our money go? Corruption, highest transfer of public wealth into the hands of their donors and mates? We need answers, please.

This story is starting to make me feel I’m going slightly mad - maybe RR overdid the gloom, but the tax rises are paying for a) the welfare U-turns b) the £10bn-plus increase in headroom c) scrapping the two child limit d) bits of other spending eg higher local gov costs 🤷🏻♀️

Can’t remember budget ‘case studies’ ever being quite so funny. Especially in newspapers that recently anointed Liz Truss a fiscal genius.
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

But his retirement plans are now in “disarray” and “ruined” cos he’s going to have to find an additional £208.33 per month?
He has £2-4 million in savings/investments but claims he is not “cash-rich” and his house was his only “pension”
Seriously @Telegraph, where do you find these people?🤣🤣🙄
