It turns out that Farage was right; foreigners were coming for his job.

So it turns out they spent ยฃ715 million on sending a grand total of FOUR volunteers to Rwanda.

For comparison, this is more than you could expect to spend on building an entire brand new hospital in the UK

Whose land? Tax avoidance and the broken economics of British farming Noise in the billionaire press about inheritance tax changes hides a basic fact: the non-farming rich own too much land

โ€œSome 56% of farmland bought in 2023 was sold to landowners who were not working farmers. The revenue per acre is too low to warrant the purchase, unless you are extremely wealthy and are avoiding inheritance taxโ€

Headline reading: The grass isnโ€™t always greener: why expats return to the UK
About 99,000 Brits emigrated last year, but 61,000 came back. These are the challenges of moving back to Blighty after living abroad

Headline reading: The grass isnโ€™t always greener: why expats return to the UK About 99,000 Brits emigrated last year, but 61,000 came back. These are the challenges of moving back to Blighty after living abroad

How many times do I need to say this?

These are not expats, they are immigrants.

You donโ€™t โ€œexpatโ€ somewhere, you emigrate, and that makes you an immigrant.

I have never heard anyone refer to โ€œBangladeshi Expatsโ€ or โ€œPolish Expatsโ€, itโ€™s always immigrants, so why not here?

Phone is buzzing this weekend with campaigns and MPs on both sides of the assisted dying debate.

Been a long time since Iโ€™ve known a vote in Parliament thatโ€™s attracting this level of passion and lobbying. Think not since the Brexit years.

Itโ€™s WONDERFUL that Food banks are getting royal approval!
Food banks were invented thanks to a Conservative Government.
Because of our vision, effectiveness & promotion of a compassionate society food banks came into being.
One of our great achievements being rightly recognised!
