Loved Victoria Drrbyshireโ€™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.

Of course and agreed.

Assume right wing media will trumpet Novemberโ€™s tiny GDP growth and just missing recession an economic miracle.

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

It wasnโ€™t even intended to be malicious. I say much more unpleasant things there without comment!

Can you appeal? I donโ€™t know how it works.

Not sure what that was all about but nothing merits that outburst

Everyday the News just gets gloomier, difficult to remain positive

Sunak is so pathetic. โ€œHe has a lot he wants to get on withโ€???!!! He has done absolutely nothing constructive!

Apparently James Cleverly said yesterday this years illegal migrant crossings via boat will be zero. He really isnโ€™t a very bright politician is he? Any day now that target will have been broken!

Letโ€™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.

Peter Bone gone now. This Government and Tory party is completely screwed, (as are we).

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 Moneโ€™s Wiki biography is an endless list of failure, deception and lies. Even in the House of Lords

Is that something to be proud of?

So we pay for energy companies late payments and shareholders still profit. This is not a privatised industry itโ€™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 didnโ€™t like international law?

Hadnโ€™t thought of that. Good point!

How do I report?

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).

But I guess they are stuck with him. They canโ€™t change again.

PMQโ€™s is not at all good for Sunak. He looked positively vile yesterday.

14.12.2023 07:20 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 12    ๐Ÿ” 2    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

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