Jim Ratcliffe, himself a migrant to Monaco to avoid paying his fair share of UK tax, and who supported Brexit which has so damaged the British economy, is yet another millionaire oligarch backing the far right to further line his pockets

It's extraordinary that *relatively* moderate, Remain-supporting Tories, or centrists if you prefer, have gone from from leading governments in 2010, 2015 & technically 2017 to being entirley unrepresented in mainstream UK politics.

They can tell themselves whatever lies help them justify a retreat.

But the facts are that the public here has been determinedly law abiding. The preponderance of unlawful acts have been committed *by* Holman's law enforcement and *against* the community.

This "rhetoric" is a response to reality.

No surprise that a 6 times bankrupt man doesn't understand economics

Very poor from the Government. No plausible reason why it can't be done now

Bad commentary is way worse than no commentary.

Contrary to a commonly repeated myth, neither a Consulate nor an Embassy is actually foreign soil, nor is entering one illegally an 'invasion.'

It is however a direct violation of the Vienna Convention on Consular/Diplomatic Relations, and a very big deal.

He's running scared. The markets are down. The dollar is weak. He's going to get smashed in the mid-terms.

I fail to see the "stunning reversal by Trump". Where does he row back on his evil rhetoric? Where does he admit he's wrong and apologise? It's not remotely good enough, and this kind of journalism is shoddy, poor work. Do better.

Brexit's the reverse Midas. It turns everything to shit. It can't be made to "work" so it will keep dragging British governments and British PMs down until one of them ends it.

You can tell when he's lying. His lips move.

A reminder to the news media: β€œconflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

The defection of Suella Braverman, who was sacked twice from Government in disgrace, spent Β£700m of taxpayers' money to send four volunteers to Rwanda on a deportation scheme that was then scrapped and has a public approval rating of minus 32 is currently being described as a "major coup" for Reform

Why should these people be platformed? They're defending cold blooded murder. It's fact. Not open for interpretation.

That would be the sensible move but nothing they've said or done indicates they want to do that. If they went more centrist you'd imagine they'd be able to pickup more votes.

So the right is now saying that carrying a hidden gun legally is justification for the state removing that gun and killing you. After decades of using the opposite argument to support their very existence?

It’s not nearly forceful enough. Just following the status quo

Agreed. It's not nearly forceful enough. Nothing will change.
