At risk of asking a question I already know the answer to, has the UK government provided any actual evidence or proof that immigration (illegal or otherwise) is actually harmful for the country?

Shabana Mahmood asks MPs to stop mentioning Tommy Robinson's name (in relation to his support for her policies) as "he doesn't even think I am English. I find that offensive."

Same experience for me. Gall bladder removed on Monday, back home yesterday. The staff who cared for me were amazing.
Rare serious post
When I arrived here in an ambulance, sirens and blue lights going, Saturday night, I was terrified, I was genuinely scared, I thought I was going to die.
But people from all nations and walks of life fixed me and cared for me, and all for free.
Thank fuck for the NHS.
Pint?

Can we focus more on how victims of sexual violence continue to be failed today and less on the drama of the Royal Family? Then perhaps some good might come from this?

Really not worth it. He knows his game is over and so is resorting to personal attacks.

Got the buggers rattled. Good work!
The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.
I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?
Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Let’s also remember that the ECHR has protected British people from abuses of power by its own government.
We must protect the ECHR, not leave it
We must protect the ECHR, not leave it
When the Tories were last in office - according to international Human Rights Watch - UK was on course to make list of countries that abuse rather than protect human rights. Is it any wonder they want us to join Russia & Belarus as only European countries outside the ECHR
