He thinks Dominic Cummings was right? At what point has he EVER been right? Rajan can fork right off with his "everything's the fault of the Civil Service".

Pls spread word. Three digits can help protect you from scams: 159. If you're suspicious of a 'call from your bank', politely hang up and dial 159. It connects you to a switchboard that puts you through to your bank's real number. Watch the video for why its extra protection

RefUK, RW media, & Eurofash are plainly trying to whip up a panic about this. Any serious report must begin by explaining that Ceuta is in Africa - not mainland Spain - and 48k+ of the 50k crossers were already returned. It is frightening how many still don't know this. Please share on all socials.
Map showing the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla in North Africa.Screengrab from Politico piece that explains, citing Reuters, that 48,300 of the 50,000 recent crossings have already been expelled or voluntarily returned to Morocco.BBC report on Friday, still echoing the RW disinformation - or at the very least not challengning it sufficiently.

What triggered the mass migrant crossings into Ceuta?

Spain's prime minister has blamed trafficking gangs after about 60,000 migrants crossed into the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta from Morocco. At least 57 people died during the surge, according to local media."Daily Mail and Daily Express from this weekend, with front page headlines "Ministers MUST stop the Spanish border invaders reaching UK" and "SPANISH BORDER CRISIS IS 'WAKE-UP CALL' FOR UK", respectively.

The person whose "signature is on everything bad we see today" is Thatcher. The problems with housing, health, education, water, rail, energy, etc, all wind right back to her door. Brown was handed an international economic crisis in 2008.

The BBC cancelling Winterwatch is such a shame, especially when we need to be connecting with nature more than ever. If we want people to protect our wildlife, we have to show them it! Add your name to ask the BBC to reconsider. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/do...

Tell the BBC: Save Winterwatch!
The UK is losing its wildlife, and shows like Winterwatch are vital for connecting us to nature. The BBC's decision to cancel it makes no sense. Let's ask them to rethink this! Add your name here:

Heard a load "thud" in the kitchen and didn't immediately investigate, thinking he was chasing a cat or playing with a bug. Nope, he'd snatched a whole brisket off the counter and was having the best day of his life.

Kintsugi ~ an ancient Japanese art that fixes broken pottery with lacquer mixed with gold. Instead of hiding the broken bits, it celebrates them, appreciating that the piece is now even more beautiful, and more unique. Perfect metaphor for life 🦄 #peace #love #kindness
