Conservative party leader says "don't expect things for free" to poor people, whilst claiming 3 grand for bills on her second home 🤦

Dear Tory councillors, It was the Conservative government who sent asylum seekers to hotels. We all said no! Process their claims properly. don't house them here for months. But Conservatives cut the civil service staff so the numbers awaiting decisions increased exponentially.

A reminder: Asylum seekers are in hotels because of a huge backlog the gov't must work through. Robert Jenrick - now, bursting with creative solutions - processed applications slowly *on purpose* as a deterrent. Here he is, as Immigration Minister two years ago, saying it. ~AA

Tories on asylum: 1. Don't process claims. 2. Create backlog. 3. Use hotels due to overcrowding. 4. Spend £700m on Rwanda gimmick. 5. Join protests outside hotels. 6. Claim victory.

In case you didn't know it was March 2020 when Priti Patel & Inmigration Minister Chris Philp issued the first contracts to hotels to house asylum seekers. At the same time these hotels were included in the Covid biz supports including 100% biz rate relief. Lucky beggars eh?

"Shoplifters can steal sausages with impunity. But mention bacon to a Muslim, and the police come running. What did I say Roy?" "You said, I get paid to write any old bollocks while I'm not integrating into the indigenous culture in Dubai."

So #Reform in #Northamptonshire have now force closed a #Homelessness Charity, questioning the rights to Housing Benefits for each person. How's that "We Have To Look After Our Own" going, eh? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Yaxley-lennon accuses a grandfather playing with his grandkids of being a paedophile. Jenrick applauds the closing down of an asylum hotel that HE opened. Farage incites more riots. Still some people support these liars and Charlatans.

What time is Chris Mason investigating who set all the hotel contracts up? #bcbreakfast #r4today

Pride in my country isn't represented by a flag. It's in people's compassion and empathy, their skill and invention, their love and generosity, their decency and fairness, their integrity and steadfastness, their wit and wisdom. I might write that on a traffic island.

So Kemi Bay-denoch thinks Epping Forest District Council had achieved "a victory for local people". After she was a minister in a government that opened the asylum hotel in Epping. Kemi Badenoch Robert Jenrick Conservatives Chris Philp MP Priti Patel MP Vomit inducing hypocrisy.

Word of the Day is ‘theic’ (19th century), defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as ‘one given to immoderate tea-drinking; a tea drunkard’.

Happy, Lucy Connolly Cottage Industry day to those who celebrate. I’m in Scotland and I could hear Alison Pearson’s delirious whoops of delight from here. Ultra-Grift incoming.

GCSE Results Day: Fears grow that Brits aren't picking up the basics as less students pass English, while over half (41.7%) fail Maths

Next week: Reform voters explain why they now holiday in Death Valley to avoid the heat.

Once more for the dimwits at the back: a) Lucy Connolly pleaded guilty. b) She was convicted under legislation introduced under Thatcher. c) She was sentenced under guidance brought in under Boris Johnson. d) fuck off.

To be fair to Robert Jenrick the original image was fake. Here is the original of him taking the flag down because it was making local brown kids feel happy. #flagshaggers

“You boy! Has Robert Jenrick tied a flag to Lucy Connolly yet?”

I often wonder how Reform Ltd get any support at all Then I see this and realise how inanely gullible much of the British working class can be
