It feels unprecedented that the BBC has made a "call" on a story, and is something that was absent throughout the terms of notorious liars such as Johnson.

Labour MPs are being fobbed off with "jam tomorrow" vagueness about refugee sponsorship ideas that are allegedly in development while the Labour government destroys the UK's highly successful integration model.
Uk refugee protection through official schemes is down a quarter under Labour government, compared to their Cons predecessors. It would be down much more if there hadn't been an accidental data leak putting Afghsns at risk, so 4000 more people given sanctuary
