When danger reared its ugly head Sir Tommo bravely turned and fled...
A couple of days ago it was all hard talk about how their Operation Overlord II was going to stop the ‘small boat invasion’.
Yesterday Danny Tommo and Ryan Bridge were fleeing, tails between their legs and terrified, from a refugee camp in France.

To me this just says that our migration statistics are too innaccurate to be a firm base for policy.

I don't think that someone in their 60s should be held responsible for their awful views in their teens. I do think they should clearly disavow them and explain how their views have changed.

The MPs have been chosen by the people of their constituencies to represent them, in the Labour interest.

We are asking the wrong questions.
Intelligent question: what, if any, social democratic policies might rejuvenate the economy & defeat the far right? Stupid question: should Streeting replace Starmer? The fact that the political class are discussing one rather than the other is the problem.

#Reeves is going to have to speak until Christmas to fit everything in that the Telegraph has speculated on!
only in the small print of this article do they make clear that the pensioners paying an extra £2,500 of tax would have to have
“earnings over £125,140”
I know many pensioners are asset rich but how many have income at that level?

Dems just won everything remotely winnable. But I expect the British derp on “we must understand Donald Trump’s popularity and/or imitate Trump” to continue. He’s popular when opposing. He’s deeply unpopular when required to run anything. There’s your lesson.
This is insane. Is there *any* race that was expected to be at all close that the GOP won?
