You're a high ranking government official and you shouldn't make things up.

Your 70% number is just a fabrication.

And it's TOTALLY not true that "every single" person you detained is here illegally. For instance, many were allowed in so they could apply for asylum.

From the Garden of Hesperides to the Garden of Eden, from the Atalanta and the Trojan War to The Beatles and the iPhone, apples are laden with often conflicting symbolism.

Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary."

Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%?

When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

Labour seems frozen by “twin fears…that swing voters would freak out if they thought Reeves was a tax-and-spend fiend or Starmer might smuggle remainer convictions into Downing St”
But, the foreign state that benefits most from Brexit inaction is Putin’s Russia.

The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests.

Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn

The administration seems to forget that in 1994, the U.S. and NATO made a commitment to protect Ukraine from Russia on the condition that Ukraine give up all its nukes, which they did. And now Ukraine is being thrown under the bus and labeled ungrateful when THEY met their end of the bargain.
Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in 1994. Now it's asking why
It's 30 years since Ukraine agreed to give up its nuclear arsenal. Some now question why they did.
