Sorry, if this headline evoked your need to listen to a 1980s song, but we recently got the last Heythrop College Library's card catalogue delivered to us, and that's what the following is about. When the Heythrop College closed in 2018, the 3 card index catalogues wereβ¦

Michelle Mone can be expelled from the House of Lords by a simple majority vote in the Commons, and then in the House of Lords.
Like if she needs to go.

Immigrants do essential jobs, produce economic benefits, and enrich us culturally
Houses are too expensive because there aren't enough of them and rich people hoover them into BTL portfolios
Public services are under pressure because the Tories wrecked them
If a government with over 400 seats and 4 years left to govern cannot summon the courage to level with the public on social care then I despair at the capacity of our political system to ever deliver the change we need.

Why the Labour Party is targeting these vital members of our community is genuinely beyond my understanding.
We have a privately-run care system that costs residents ca. Β£6000 per month yet only pays a minimum wage to its workers. Solve that problem with some proper regulation of the sector, and you won't need to ban hard-working immigrants, who are the only people stopping care from collapsing completely.
