Reform UKs plan to use the Royal Navy to intercept migrant boats in the Channel brilliantly taken apart by ... er ... Nigel Farage
The new Royal Navy presence in the Channel off to
a terrible start...


The gunwhales on the vessels are too high to pick
up migrants, so the RNLI & Border Force are doing
the job instead!


The Navy are then going around picking up the
empty dinghies,


Waste of time and resources!

Vote Reform. Or we will house *dangerous migrant centres* in your village. And if you vote Green, it will be even worse for you. It's beyond disturbing. The chill wind of threat, thuggery and menace of a kind never before seen in Britain.
Today we announce a new policy:


In order to deport all illegal migrants in
Britain, Reform will need to detain tens of
thousands at a time.


Migrants will not be able to leave these
detention centres, and each will be held
there a couple of weeks before being
deported.


So here's our promise:


A Reform government will not put any
migrant detention facilities in any
constituency with a Reform MP.


Nor will we put them where Reform
controls the council.


And of the remaining areas, we will
prioritise Green controlled parliamentary
constituencies and Green controlled
councils to locate the detention centres.


Put simply, if you vote in a Reform
council or Reform MP, we guarantee yPut simply, if you vote in a Reform
council or Reform MP, we guarantee you
won't have a detention centre near you


If you vote Green, there's a good chance
you will,


This is an important exercise in
democratic consent, not just for our
mass deportation policy, but for where
the detention centres are placed


Given @ZackPolanski openly advocates
for open borders, I look forward to their
warm embrace of this policy

And if, as a consequence, Reform get voted in around the country, there will be nowhere they can put their ‘ICE’ detention centres. Did they think of that? 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷‍♀️😂😂 No wonder the post has been deleted. 🙄

Pope Leo turned the question around like the boss he is.
Screenshot of a tweet by perrito barista (@Carlitospindola), translated from Spanish, quoting Pope Leo responding to a question about migration by reframing it: "What is the global North doing to help the global South in its situation that forces them to migrate?" The embedded video shows the Pope holding a microphone aboard what appears to be a plane, with clergy visible behind him.

Labour are turning our NHS around. More GPs recruited, waiting lists start to fall & ambulance wait times start to reduce. Labour are working their way through the whole service with targeted plans. The latest: specialist teams & expanded urgent care to tackle corridor care & ease A&E pressure.

The Iran war went so horribly that Donald Trump now has his wife Melania hold a press conference to discuss Jeffrey Epstein. Trump is now using the Epstein files to distract from Iran war--which was started to distract from Epstein. Clearly we all died during Covid and this is hell!

“If Trump were a Democrat would you still hate him?” Trump WAS a Democrat, and I hated him then, too. I don’t GAF what party someone claims to be. Nobody hates Trump because he’s a Republican. We hate him because he's a shitty President and possibly the shittiest human being who has ever lived.

Keir Starmer used an otherwise underwhelming press conference this morning to announce a new EU summit. If he wants that to deliver something real, he should use the Iran crisis as an opportunity – it's his chance to ditch the "red lines" stopping him securing a genuinely better EU deal.

This crisis is the perfect moment to reverse Brexit. Will Starmer finally seize it?
The PM made a tepid speech on fall-out from Iran. But now has an opportunity to save Britain and himself
