Another perfect illustration of what is wrong with our media and just what the government is up against!

In this case, omission of details and fact twisting which makes people blame Labour rather than the Tories.

Sun headline about Β£500k compensation for migrants, discussing human rights, and public outcry over payouts.

Sun headline about Β£500k compensation for migrants, discussing human rights, and public outcry over payouts.

Did you see this headline?

Did you feel the requisite anger and rage at asylum seekers that The Sun was asking of you?

Did you maybe blame Starmer because.... um... it was probably his faultπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Would you like to know the reality behind the headline?

Course you would!😜

Let's take a look

I can only assume that he thinks they all look like tough men while the world looking on thinks they’re morons.

Can’t help thinking that all of the people currently siding with Trump over his Churchill comment also wouldn’t have sided with Churchill in his fight against fascism πŸ‘€

Oh yes. Very good thanks. Feels like a lifetime ago now. Very stressful at the time. And although it appears all over the press right now my understanding is that anyone who is repatriated will pay as standard. Thanks πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

History shows us that Churchill argued with Roosevelt. Roosevelt didn’t resort to name calling. Maybe that’s the story our patriotic UK media should be reporting on.

Our son was on his uni placement year in South Africa when Covid hit. He came on a repatriation flight and we paid for it. If she wants to return to the UK she can put her hand in her pockets

Trump helps MAGA influencers flee Middle East war zone on private jet Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz, dogwalker Sarah Daither, former lobbyist Jay Footlik, and others managed to escape on a private plane thanks to the White House.

The White House has helped MAGA influencers escape the Middle East on a private jet while more than a million ordinary Americans are still trapped with no way out.

Churchill argued with Roosevelt only Roosevelt didn’t retaliate by calling him childish names. Maybe that’s the story the patriotic press could run with

Trump belittles Starmer with 'no Churchill' jibe but can the special relationship recover? The remarks came amid a row over the refusal to permit the use of UK bases for the initial US-Israel strikes.

A special relationship is built on mutual love and respect.

An abusive relationship is when your partner belittles you, gives nothing back, threatens you, keeps negatively comparing you to an ex partner and despite it all assumes you'll always be there for them.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.
