Tfl is loss-making and underwater due to prior fare freezes and changes in travel patterns post lockdowns. This ‘freeze’ in reality is a political plea for more taxpayer subsidies, and likely designed to provoke a performative election year row when the Government says no.

'Put a stop to mass migration – while we still can.

Immigration is not a viable way to fix our demographic problems. We need a near halt for a decade or so.'

Game over. The latest revelations provide precise confirmation that all the many suspicious features of sars-cov-2 which imply it was man made were set out in exhaustive detail in the DEFUSE proposal to which Wuhan institute of virology was a partner.

The test I set the Rwanda Bill was a simple one: will it work?

After the Govt rejected my amendments, it was clear to me it wouldn’t succeed.

I therefore voted against and called for a Bill that would.

Stopping the boats is too important to the country and trust in politics.

Retrogression in technology: like the decline of the Roman Empire.

Alternatively, we could do what the Victorians would have done: demolish it and build a new functional bridge instead.

My short speech last night on the Rwanda bill. I respect my colleagues' (all but 11 of us) decision to back the Government. My view is the Bill is unlikely to work and we should be passing one that will. Thread: youtu.be/8_5h4iJjD4g?si… via YouTube

The Rwanda Bill will not stop the boats. It leaves us exposed to litigation & the Strasbourg Court.

I engaged with the government to fix it but no changes were made.

I could not vote for yet another law destined to fail. The British people deserve honesty & so I voted against.

Nobody can believe this issue will go away if we simply stop talking about it. This is about whether we can police our borders, whether we are a self-governing nation, and indeed whether the promises we make to the public are worth something.

Not at all. Heavily subsidised offshore wind is itself anti-growth. It pushes up electricity costs overall, despite the heavy taxpayer funding, makes the grid less stable, and helps drive productive industry out of the country.

It's right to resist further wasteful spending on…

Katharine Birbalsingh has done more for school excellence than anyone in our time. She’s given pupils of all backgrounds the best chance in life. As evidenced by their results. Her school is now the target of a concerted political-religious campaign. Everyone should support her.

Sir Simon Clarke announces he will vote against the Rwanda Bill at third reading tonight.

In a piece for The Telegraph he said: 'I will vote against the Bill precisely because I do not believe it will deliver.'

Latest finding from the Telegraph mega-poll: Sunak is now a major drag on his party. Somehow he has managed to become even - and much - less popular than the Tory brand in general. 😬
