We were never told when the utilities and rail were privatised that the taxpayer would STILL be underwriting these services. Except we're now underwriting profit not infrastructure and future proofing the service

Tories call passing Rwanda Bill a “landmark moment”.
Yes
A “landmark moment” of constitutional thuggery.
A “landmark moment” of govt extremism, financial idiocy and vicious inhumanity.
A “landmark moment” of international irresponsibility and national disgrace.
Shame on them all.

Shame on anyone who had any role in pushing this legislation through or who failed to stop it. May the stain of it never wash away.

Your reminder that no one has ever voted for the 'Rwanda Policy', it's never been in a political manifesto.

Absolutely disgusted with what happened in Parliament last night #RwandaNotInMyName

When we get to July and Sunak is stood watching a plane fly to Rwanda, he’ll have spent around £500m to send 200 people away. Imagine how sick you must be to think that is a something to be proud of.
That time, effort, and money could have made a real difference to millions of us

It is worth reminding ourselves (and others) of this……

There were no recorded small boat crossings of the Channel until 2018.

In the next six to twelve months you're going to have a new government. If you think it will cure all ills on day one you're fooling yourself. The work before us is the work of a generation, at least.
Sorry.

I not only want FoM for young people I want it for all of us.

If UK tries to *control* its TCA borders to EU they will grind to a halt, goods won't be delivered, prices will rocket & food riots will follow..
Are enough understanding this yet?
Only Brexit alternative was always unilateral favouring of EU (their exporters) & smugglers nirvana

The mole thread (QT) got some love yesterday and many have asked what happened to the mole.

Here is the concluding part of the story, the moral of which is that you should ALWAYS trust your ODP.

They’re never wrong 🧵

Up is down and down is up.

Putting out-of-touch, obscenely rich sociopaths in charge of countries is a really bad idea, just saying

The deliberate emptying of our taxes in to private hands is dual purpose. It enriches donors and gives the Tories the excuse to tell us we can’t afford anything so they can shrink the state further

I see DEFRA is warning they can't 'turn on' the Brexit border checks on 30 April because it would cause chaos. Brexit is a crime, and those who thrust it upon us, flooding our country's discourse with lies and false promises, will soon be gone, leaving us to pick up the pieces.

Enjoyed reminiscing about Little Chef breakfasts. Few easy-to-find cooked breakfast options for the travelling motorist these days. The sautéed potatoes really made it for me. What’s your favourite memory of them?

Institute for Government Jonathan Jones The only real question to be asked when faced by this proposal is 'who benefits'? And the answer should scare the shit out of you.

3. Trading across borders involves cost and delays. That is inescapable (unless you happen to find yourself in a single market and customs union- oops). Costs and delays shrink your target market.
