These poor kids didn’t stand a bloody chance…

345 vulnerable kids, seeking asylum and then lost by our authorities

50 still missing

Likely to traffickers

How could this have happened?

Unforgivable from now-Reform controlled Kent County Council.

It might help deflate the instilled hatred of foreigners if the asylum seekers were actually interviewed and seen to be decent people. Channel 4?

I haven't been this optimistic about the political future of the UK since 2017 (when I was the most optimistic I've ever been). But we know the pitfalls, and we don't have many of the weaknesses we had then.

It's really starting to look like we could achieve something special if we get to work.

Yes, but he needs to be an MP. I suppose he could quickly get a safe seat from a nearly retiring MP.

Without the freedom to pack up and live elsewhere else, most of us are stuck here in the UK however bad it gets. Stuck to be treated like the captive workforce we are. A capitalists dream! Thanks to Starmer, who opposes freedom of movement, that’s where we’ll stay. Workers party my arse!

For PM, almost anybody would be better than Starmer, Streeting, Reeves or Nandy. Howabout all the backbenchers get behind Angela Rayner. Starmer needs to go asap.

This has nearly 3m signatures and no sign of a debate. I assume Starmer is ignoring the British public and pushing this through? petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

"As one might expect from what we already know about the demographic composition of far-right electorates, there is a gender gap in support for Reform UK. Men are, on average, five percentage-points more likely than women to consider Reform UK." But most reject them.

They'll probably train more physician associates, much cheaper that way and they can hoover people up from the unemployed.

This is happening in uk too!!

Currently an AI data centre is being built near me in Blyth Northumberland…

Just ask BlackRock!!

What's frightening is that this country must have literally thousands (or even tens of thousands) of people who sit in front of computers or TV monitors, spying on us. Where I live there must be over 100 cameras just in a small town centre. Apparently there are 5-10 million cameras in UK.

I wonder if he is still working as a teacher? Trump's lot would have him removed if they can find him. Maybe it's a movie in which case they'll go after the producers.
