This is Andrew. Today is the 8th anniversary of our first date, and this is where we first met.
That day, Andrew’s honesty, sincerity and brilliant wit shone through. It took me another 7 years to fully appreciate his selflessness, unerring sense of justice and fierce loyalty to those he loves.

Mahmoud has listened to same clique of senior Home Office officials who have advised for 30+ years that loud announcements of punitive policies will deter refugees from coming to UK to seek asylum.
Labour did this extensively last time. It didn’t work.

The Home Secretary says "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world"
That is a factually untrue claim: the Home Office shows that the UK is fifth, getting 1/10 claims, while Germany gets 1/5 claims
