Astonishing revelation from Yvette Cooper

The Conservative party had 1,000 staff working on the Rwanda scheme which saw just four volunteers go to Rwanda

Quietly, Starmer is closing our gaps with Europe Starmer’s refusal to consider a return to the EU or the single market angers Europhiles, but a new report suggests a quiet change.

Not a speechmaker but a strategist: Keir Starmer’s approach to Europe is all about quiet progress.

The big picture? Less divergence, more alignment, & cautious bridge-building.

…but is he going far enough fast enough?

It’s being reported tonight that Reform’s Treasurer Nick Candy is planning to visit America to meet Elon Musk after reports he could donate £100m to the party. The meeting could apparently come within days.

We need to make BlueSky the biggest social media platform on the planet

Hire teams of builders from Poland, Albania etc. They will build quality housing in half the time at half the cost.

Laura Kuenssberg: "We'll never know whether the Rwanda plan would have worked"
After it ran for over two years, cost £700m and resulted in 3 volunteers being paid to leave.

Laura Kuenssberg, "You can't be certain the Rwanda scheme would ever have got off the ground in a meaningful way"

Chris Philp, "The first plane was due to take off on the 24th of July"

Why did Sunak call an election before his flagship Rwanda policy would be a success, unless he knew it wouldn't

Andy Burnham, "The big lie of Brexit needs to be exposed"

"They promised us it would control immigration, it's done the opposite.. It's weakened control of immigration"

"If the Conservatives were so confident with Rwanda till after the planes took off, but they didn't"

Oh god. The inevitable Daily Mail tantrum at a Labour govt edging towards a slightly less ruinous relationship with our own continent.
What do these idiotic nationalists want? Permanent hostility? Endless cost and loss?
‘Betraying’ Brexit is an act of patriotic necessity now, you howling clowns.

The story behind this picture.

This guy got bitten by a Rattlesnake it cost him £153k to save his life.

They charged him $83,341.25 for antivenom that cost them $2,500.

That is private healthcare and there was nothing he could do except pay.

Israel launches dozens of airstrikes on Syria despite rebel leader's peace pledge Strikes follow statement by Israel’s defence minister that troops would remain on Mount Hermon for winter

Abysmal, irresponsible, war-mongering idiocy from the Israeli government, which seemingly cannot find a situation it does not wish to actively worsen www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

Bring back Erasmus+ and youth mobility in Europe Taking Britain out of the Erasmus+ programme was a huge mistake. Labour must rejoin and accept the EU’s offer of a youth mobility scheme

“Taking Britain out of the Erasmus+ programme was a huge mistake. Labour must rejoin and accept the EU’s offer of a youth mobility scheme”👏

Our youth have been robbed of the freedom of movement we enjoyed - this is the absolute least the Gov’t can do for them

During Covid lockdown, if you had family round on Christmas Day the police could force their way into your home and make them return to their own homes.
Does anybody know if this service is still available and, if so, do you have to book it?

One day you may end up homeless.

And it won't be because of a homeless person, it will be because of a billionaire.

Oh and you are never going to be a member of the 0.00003%.

There is a metaphor here somewhere

Lord Rothermere who owns the Daily Mail claims to be French and pay his taxes in France, despite living in England.

This should be enough to stop everyone buying that trash he calls a patriotic newspaper.

In just 3 years the Standing Charge in the UK has tripled.

Some people are now paying 50% or more of what they were paying in 2021.

Just to have access to electricity.

It is a ripoff on everyone and it should be illegal.

This needs to be said, loud, and often.
