"Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family."
Why would Rishi Sunak want to do a thing like that?

No one elected Rishi Sunak. No one gave him a mandate to trash the UK's environmental policies.
This is not democracy. It's coercion.

Don't let people forget. The French government has repeatedly offered to build a refugee processing centre for the UK in France, they have offered to help fund it and to allow British immigration staff to work there.
It would instantly solve the "boats" problem
The UK refused.

Millions now using food banks
Which gets the most coverage?
Which gets most Govt intervention?
Which gets the speediest action?
This country is broken.

Are you the same guy who dropped his house building targets? Because Iām the guy who started building more council homes than the rest of England combined, exceeded your affordable homes targets & built more homes of any kind than since the 1930s. This is desperate nonsense.
Labourās Sadiq Khan has failed to deliver the homes London needs, driving up prices and making it harder for families to get on the housing ladder.
So Iām stepping in to boost house building and make home ownership a reality again for Londoners.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Under Sadiq Khan were more new homes completed per year than under any previous Mayor of London.

Boris Johnson still has, in his possession, his old mobile phone containing crucial messages - well after the deadline that was set by the Covid Inquiry.
But yes, letās all keep losing our shit over a BBC presenter who may or may not have done something inappropriate.

- water companies had no debt when they were privatised
- since then they gave borrowed Ā£53bn
- much of this has been used to help pay Ā£72bn in dividends
- interest rates have now spiked
- what could possible go wrong?

Water companies have collectively taken on Ā£60bn debt, since they were privatised in 1989. Thames Water alone has debt of Ā£14bn.
They have just budgeted for fines and taken profit at the cost of polluting our rivers & seas.
Privatisation has failed. Nationalise water now.

This is huge.
We now have concrete proof that pure unadulterated corporate greed is the key driver behind the inflation crisis. ā at Belfast, Northern Ireland
Rising corporate profits were the largest contributor to Europeās inflation over the past two years as companies increased prices by more than the spiking costs of imported energy. bit.ly/441jfya

āIf they really are refugees, why donāt they have to stay in the first safe country they reach?ā
āWhy donāt they just claim asylum in France?ā
Here is my answer, once & for all. To Jonathan Gullis, and to everyone else who ever wondered.

As postal workers take strike action today, worth remembering that last year Royal Mail made Ā£758m in profit and handed out Ā£400m to shareholders.
When it came to the workers who created that profit, Royal Mailās leadership pleaded poverty, offering a pay rise of just 2%.
