Wow. Just wow. 💥 Listening to Liz Truss on @TalkTV where she says Boris Johnson was so afraid that, after Brexit, hundreds of thousands of Eastern Europeans would go home, leaving the UK with a massive skills shortage. So he thought he'd fill the shortage in skills with Middle Easterners and Africans, hence the Boris Wave. Further, the top dogs at the Bank of England are full of socialists. They thought Liz and Kwasi were too right wing so threatened the whips to get rid of them or they'd do damage to the economy by, inter alia, hefting interest rates up. And finally Liz Truss says despite Kemi's tough stance, the Conservative Party is still full of MPs who are more concerned with their standing on the liberal London dinner party circuit than they are about the Tory members. They still are Conservative in name only, I'm afraid.

Hey @miriam_cates What did you spend £44,500 on in the year 2024 that you classify as miscellaneous? Asking for a nation of pensioners who have to live on a just over a quarter of that in a year.
