So it turns out they spent £715 million on sending a grand total of FOUR volunteers to Rwanda.
For comparison, this is more than you could expect to spend on building an entire brand new hospital in the UK

In July, I FOI'd the Home Office for the full breakdown of spending on the Rwanda scheme
I was refused because the government planned to publish the data in future, and today is the day. These numbers are in millions

Whose land? Tax avoidance and the broken economics of British farming
Noise in the billionaire press about inheritance tax changes hides a basic fact: the non-farming rich own too much land

How many times do I need to say this?
These are not expats, they are immigrants.
You don’t “expat” somewhere, you emigrate, and that makes you an immigrant.
I have never heard anyone refer to “Bangladeshi Expats” or “Polish Expats”, it’s always immigrants, so why not here?

Phone is buzzing this weekend with campaigns and MPs on both sides of the assisted dying debate.
Been a long time since I’ve known a vote in Parliament that’s attracting this level of passion and lobbying. Think not since the Brexit years.
