Angela as deputy Prime minister.

Bring back the good old fashioned deputies such as old Etonian Anothony Eden, or maybe John Prescott.
A mixed bunch these deputies.

12 months on, still empty after spending millions. I cycle past at the back a few times a week.

Nothing's changed then, election or not .... how unsurprising 😉

Thought the Toolmaker was supposed to be doing proper government and not government by beauty parade like we've had for 10 years?

Judging by the general reaction here Universal Benefits need to be rolled back and better targeted?

LBC.... A builder calls in .... " We are working at a New migrant center , we have installed £80,000 worth of dishwashers, washing machines and tumble dryers ... A £10,000 pool table was delivered and a full gym with loads of running machines ,weights ... We are told not to talk to the press or anybody , they have the best of everything"

The thought of removing it in the first place was absurd...Politicians have a cushy life when they are pensioners...

Trade unions are demanding that Sir Keir Starmer brings back winter fuel payments for all pensioners.


This is good news. Keep the pressure building.

gotnorolex - I shouldn't have reacted to your post in the way I did. Apologies.


In other news as expected Portugal did the job.

Moaning about those in power is easy, but what would you do...exactly.And make it workable, do not be silly.I would put a cap on legal aid. It worked for the car insurance 'claims' firms and I believe it would work for asylum claims.Too many barristers and solicitors making money

Charlie Mullins hates envy ridden louts so is leaving for Tuscany to rub shoulders with Blairs mob! Why do Brits vote in socialists who's only aim is to destroy ambition, punish success and lower standards!

Professor Gaga'this isn't a Government that ducks difficult decisions'In what way was chucking a huge pay rise at already highly paid train drivers 'a difficult decision'? No - that was an easy one, because you took the money off the pensioners to pay them their £70k a year.Daily Telegraph

Migration watch are an interesting publication. I subscribe to a couple of offerings under the same umbrella, pint watch is good it's describes in great detail how long the heads on pints take to decarbonise. Given the time there's nothing I like more than 'pizza watch' which catalogues the decomposition of pizza from oven to land fill.

Easy. Send them back to their country

Everyone hates too much immigration and fear the consequences.
Social disruption is inevitable when times become harder and the economy crashes.

But even on this thread, including the peoples hero Nigel, never seem to say exactly how it could be stopped.

Magic carpet!

From Migration Watch-

Classic civil service waffle.

With net migration (including those coming illegally) we can expect at least another couple of million people to be added to our population, resulting in added pressure on everything from housing and the NHS to schools and transport. And do not be surprised if social tensions too worsen.

The first step to solving the Channel crisis is to face reality and take back control of our borders. We must take a close look at the legal framework and the judicial over-reach that has taken hold of the system. The ECHR is no longer fir for purpose and the Human Rights Act (HRA) is a major obstacle to the removal of migrants with no right to be here. They should both go. But we must not kid ourselves that pulling away from the ECHR and ripping up the HRA will be the silver bullet that pulls the curtain down on illegal immigration. But without them, it will be a hell of a lot easier to remove people with no right to be here.

As for legal migration, the only way we can control and reduce it is by imposing a cap. This does not mean ending all immigration. But it does mean we would be able to reduce net migration from the catastrophic levels we now have. What should net migration be? We think no more than a 100,000 per year.
