Rishi Sunak claims that the country doesn't want an election. Where is his evidence, or is it just his own wishful thinking?

The Times are reporting leaked docs showing that the govt is considering deals with other countries, including Costa Rica and Botswana, alongside Rwanda, for deporting asylum seekers. Curious, since no airline has yet agreed to be a carrier for Rwanda. It's an immoral money pit.

Who are the government going to go after this week? They've already sunk to new depths with their pursuit of Carers who have been overpaid, mostly unwittingly, by daring to earn over £151. Carers save our country £millions by working for 35hrs+ for the princely sum of £81.

The Tories are being very evasive about whether they have a carrier to fly asylum seekers to Rwanda. Latest information suggests that they can't find an airline to agree. The government has reportedly approached the RAF, who are also not keen. But Rishi Sunak is still confident.

Rishi Sunak and his acolytes are becoming more tin eared and self absorbed by the day. What happened to working *for* the country ?

During the pandemic, frontline NHS staff were provided with mental health support . The NHS is about to withdraw it. This is petty, particularly in the current climate where workers feel undervalued and under pressure. I want to be seen by clinicians who are cared for, and well.

Since when is up to Tory MPs, or any politicians to demand that police carry out investigations? The police are supposed to operate independently, without fear or favour. Yet somehow, this has been bypassed in the case of Angela Rayner.

Andrea Jenkyns MP 🇬🇧 How we treat our fellow human beings is a reflection of our society and at the moment, the Tory government are treating many of us with contempt. I'm thinking of the homeless, asylum seekers, ill and disabled people, older people and anyone not 'working hard'.

Today we discover that a mobile dental service provided by a charity, has been parked next to a food bank to provide urgent dental care. Meanwhile, Rishi Sunak insists his pretend plan for the NHS is working, apart from too many pesky patients and indulgent striking doctors.

Whitehall doesn’t always know best. Local councils understand the needs of their communities best and should have the power to make the right decisions for their area. Sign the letter Unlock Democracy

A child in care can be arrested for going into the kitchen after hours and taking a biscuit. It would be classified as breaking an entry, section 112, and theft. It stays on your DBS throughout your late teens, and it could potentially prevent you from getting a job. And yes,…

Times radio reports that claims for incapacity benefit have increased greatly, with over 70% for people with mental health problems. Then came the cynical comments from listeners about how going to work would make them feel better. I fear Mel Stride's demonisation is working.

Well well. One of my spies was at the annual Enoch Powell memorial dinner where one of Susan Hall’s team drunkenly let slip that she’s planning a £150 a year cycle tax because ‘most of them are lefties anyway’.
How are hard working Londoners going to afford this?
Disgusting!

The CAB report that they are receiving 900+ requests for food bank referrals every day. (BBC news). How does that square with Rishi Sunak claiming that 'the plan is working'?

Most of Rishi Sunak's answers to listener's questions on LBC today exasperated me but one made me laugh. A listener asked about shoplifting and cited a corner shop he uses. Sunak said he understood because he grew up working in a corner shop with his Mother. I don't think so.

If you know someone who doesn’t have approved voter ID for the local elections, make sure they see this.
The Tories are relying on disenfranchising parts of the electorate to win.

Listening to a discussion on Times radio about Rwanda and apparently, the Rwandan government only want an initial number of 200 asylum seekers. They then want a pause.
The dream isn't quite going to happen for a certain former Home secretary.

Suella Braverman was given given air time this morning to repeat her divisive description of pro Palestinian marches as 'hate marches'. She seems to be styling herself as a pseudo Home Secretary after failing in the real job.
