So the crowing by the Tories continues. Sending volunteers to Rwanda was tried by Israel. Most ended up using smuggling routes to get back to Europe.

The person that the Tories are crowing about sending to Rwanda - he volunteered to go for a £3k bribe, he didn’t arrive on a small boat and he’s already had his asylum claim assessed so could have been deported without the bribe as a failed asylum keeper. How they twist the truth

dave lawrence 🐟🐟🐠 A volunteer who lost his asylum claim is being paid £3k getting free housing for 5 years and didn't arrive into the UK on a small boat across the Channel. How bloody desperate are the Tories two days before voting?

'Food importers in UK say post-Brexit checks could add 60% to costs'

The message is belatedly getting out that the new £145 charge per consignment is not necessarily the extra cost per truck, as one truck may carry dozens of consignments.

A disaster. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Whenever you think you have reached the point where you can no longer be surprised by how low the Conservative Party has sunk, it proves you wrong. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Proud to welcome Dr Dan Poulter MP to the The Labour Party Party.

As a frontline clinician, he’s seen the damage that 14 years of Conservative government have done to our NHS.

Delighted to have his support and look forward to working with him, especially on mental health reform.

Police and Crime Commissioners are now live on StopTheTories.Vote

Meaning everyone in England and Wales now has something to show up for at on May 2nd.

PCCs hold the police to account, and usually very few people show up to elect them.

Pass it on 🔥

GB News can continue to use politicians as presenters, says Ofcom 😳 Nothing says anti-elite like the state regulator endorsing a billionaire's propaganda channel staffed by the ruling party during an Election Year . How far we have fallen😧

MOD officials confirm the defence budget is being cut this year, despite the Prime Minister's claim that the UK is on a war footing.

How can a delay to the end of no-fault evictions be justified on the grounds of a review into whether the court system can cope when the Government has just magicked up 25 courts, 150 judges and 5,000 sitting days to implement its morally bankrupt law breaking Rwanda Scheme?

Despite taking place a mere stones throw from GB News’ Westminster studio, the channel are yet to bring it to the attention of their viewers

Yet despite that, GBN can’t throw enough resources at covering Pro-Palestine demonstrations

Two tier journalism

Just off for a hearing in a rape case. Allegation reported in 2021, trial not before 2025, if we’re all lucky.

No podium speeches from the Prime Minister about this. No promises to magic up more judges, courts or lawyers.

Just silence, and the threat of further cuts to come.

Why are the postal votes made so over-complicated? Two tear off slips in different colours. Two different envelopes and a form which have to be assembled in a specific order. It comes with a set of five step instructions.
