Loved Victoria Drrbyshire’s point on Newsnight last night that given the current terms and restrictions of the Rwanda deal it would take about 500 years to clear the immigration backlog.

Guess Sunak’s military hurrah is a last role of his self preservation dice. According to Jeremy Bowen it will have no impact

Apparently James Cleverly said yesterday this years illegal migrant crossings via boat will be zero. He really isn’t a very bright politician is he? Any day now that target will have been broken!

Let’s hope next year is a turning point and things do start to improve. Hoping everyone, well nearly everyone, a much happier 2024!

The Romans had Gladiators, Amphitheater and Games, we even had the 2012 Olympics. How have the aTories forgotten to quell the masses you need to entertain them.

I am not remotely misogynistic, and this maybe contentious, but does the BBC not shoot itself in the foot a little on Sports Personality of the year tonight with 4 presenters only on of which is male?

Minister banging on about Councils not approving new housing sufficiently, London in particular. I live in SE Ldn and whenever I travel into to Ldn via train there are new flats springing up all the way by the line.

Michelle Mone’s Wiki biography is an endless list of failure, deception and lies. Even in the House of Lords

So we pay for energy companies late payments and shareholders still profit. This is not a privatised industry it’s a nationalised one a few can legally steal from

Education Minister tells Nick Ferrari British students must study English & Maths under international law: I thought we didn’t like international law?

Seem like recession next year. Tory apologists will say this is global markets, (unless it is reducing interest rates where that has nothing to do with global markets or the BoE).

Just did a YouGov pollen Rwanda and know it’s only reflective of when I was doing it but about 75% disagree with it, think it will never happen, believe it’s for votes only and will end Sunak! Marvellous!!

So Farage finishes 3rd on that ridiculous programme. Haven’t seen a minute of it. Don’t know why he went on, other than the money but does he regard this as a success? I would have thought 1st or immediate eviction were the desired outcomes but what do I know?

To try to defend the Tories you can’t even say it is a corroboration of differing factions as it is a number of warring bodies cloaked in the same banner.
