My friend, who is Thai, has sent me photos of her family home in Thailand. Currently under water due to the flooding. She's over here worried about her elderly parents over there and still the rain falls......

Currently sitting in the waiting area of a large teaching/university hospital where I had emergency surgery last year. Just one glance around proves how vital migrant workers are to the running of the NHS. How anyone can deny this is beyond me.

Good morning. Most of us have around eight decades on this planet - if we are lucky. So why not help create positivity, warmth, care for the environment and other people locally and further afield; so why not choose hope, co-operation and love over hate?

Before they were PMs I happen to know - from my time working alongside the disabled community - that both Starmer and Burnham 'supported' the disabled community and young unemployed people - so what's changed once they became PM? Answer - their need to appease the masses and make budget cuts.

What’s your legacy Johnson? Brexit. Total collapse of trust in politics. And this. The small boats symbolise your dishonesty and your failure. You’re responsible for nothing but damage. Not one good thing. Not one proud moment. You’re forever a shameful disgrace who threw his own mandate in the bin.

It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate from the people. He has no real ideas, and no plan.

An inconvenient truth for the racists and xenophobes. Low birth rate in the UK inevitably means fewer young supporting ever more older people. Immigration brings in young people and eases the problem. Without it, everyone must work longer.
