So 280 people were added to the government payroll to deport zero asylum seekers to Rwanda? That's proper Tory value. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

New Home Office figures reveal the Conservatives' cruel Rwanda scheme cost the taxpayer £715 MILLION. Just 4 volunteers were sent to Rwanda over 2 years. And this doesn't account for broader costs to the system - e.g. more hotels used to house asylum seekers; more staff needed.
Home Office figures breakdown the spend on the Rwanda scheme. Total comes to £715 million.

Starmer says we won’t rejoin the single market. Instead, we’ll find “agile ways to cooperate which will serve the national interest.” The Tories said that too. And achieved absolutely nothing that could be described as “agile”, other than the turds bobbing about in our rivers and seas.
Old post from Farrukh:
Left a picture of Sunak saying: “Seizing the freedom and flexibility of Brexit. Because so often the EU’s default approach was top down precautionary regulation. Whereas we in the UK have the chance to be more agile. So that rather than stifling innovation and growth. We encourage it.”
Right: Guardian headline about us not adopting new pollution rules. Post from Haggis: (and picture of Sunak giving a speech)

Rishi Sunak “I was proud to back Brexit… because in the long term the agility, the flexibility and freedom provided by Brexit would be more valuable than proximity to a market.”Post from Green Party’s Molly Scott Cato:

Sunak says Brexit has made us more competitive 

“A more agile regulatory system”, he claims

I guess that means more s*** in our rivers then

And more risk in our financial system and easier tax avoidance Post from Juergen Maier CBE - Jan 2023

“It is also the wrong conclusion that Brexit is good because it makes us agile. The UK is already very good at agile. What we lack is scale, strategy and longtermism - and Brexit has not helped any of those.”

An incoming American administration trying to destabilise and encourage the people of the United Kingdom to rise up against its democratically elected government and install a far right government? Could you imagine this 20 years ago? Mad, terrifying and a sign of things to come from these madmen.

Finally, PLEASE don't besmirch our nation's flag in that way campaigning on behalf of a foreign oligarch. Much as it may disappoint you, and for all the effort you may put in on his behalf, Elon Musk doesn't own that flag. Yet. Though if you keep pushing for foreign ownership of the UK, who knows?
