More importantly, please listen to her reply on safe routes for asylum seekers. She say’s, just turn up on UK shores and apply for asylum. Well if that is the recognised UK system, this is what the boat people are doing, then process their applications in a quick timely manner.

Fair play to Tim Loughton, asking how a 16 yr old orphan from Africa would seek asylum in the UK and forcing Suella Braverman to admit the only way to apply is considered illegal.
The panic on her face when she realises she cannot lie is priceless.

Mastodon has just passed over 2 million active monthly users, a new record! People are voting with their feet. The future of social media doesn't have to belong to a billionaire, it can be in the hands of its users.

For those querying whether banks are enjoying a “windfall”, rather than a return to “normal” interest rates, arguably they are, because the reserves were massively inflated by quantitative easing purchases of bonds, which were undertaken initially to ease the banking crash damage

Look, I sympathise with the CLIMATE's message, but not the counterproductive way it's going about it. Why can't the CLIMATE write to MPs, or set up its own political party, instead of disrupting the lives of normal people? No one's going to be won over by these shock tactics.

October 16th, and multiple locations in France above 30C. Meanwhile, horrifying flooding in Spain. This is what the #ClimateEmergency looks like in real time.

BP made 3-month profit of $8.2bn, which was all cash, and is giving $2.5bn to shareholders via a share buyback. Giving away $2.5bn rather than investing it looks like an invitation by BP to a cash-strapped Sunak government to raise the 25% rate of the “windfall” oil and gas tax

Suella Braverman is successfully diverting folks from the economic and financial disaster engulfing families, hospitals, schools etc.. which is almost always the purpose of culture war. Her words about refugees were appalling, dangerous and inaccurate, but clever and deliberate.

Manston. She has singularly failed to explain who is responsible for this disastrous mismatch, so damaging for the UK’s humanitarian reputation, if not her - especially since she has been heaping praise on her officials and colleagues

Rishi Sunak wants to keep the ban on new onshore wind, is failing to help families insulate their homes and is now refusing to attend the COP summit.
His actions fly in the face of the UK's proud record of leading the global fight against climate change.

It's a disgrace that @RishiSunak isn't going to @COP27P He says he needs to concentrate on pressing domestic issues. There is no bigger pressing issue facing us domestically than Climate Change.

When nursing suffers, so do the public. It's time to tell ministers to address staff shortages, including with #FairPayForNursing.

The talent pool in the Conservative Party is so shallow that they’re recycling Health Secretaries.
12 years of Conservative mismanagement has led to the biggest crisis in the NHS’s history.
This voter was right then and she’s right now👇🏻
