Disagree. He is trying to grapple with the real world and it is quite clearly true that free movement does allow people to come and go while earning settled status encourages staying. Yes there are uncomfortable nuances, they are going to be difficult to escape.

If Andy Burnham wants to take us back into the EU. That gets my vote every time. Before I retired the firm I worked for lost a lot of customers thanks to the bloody stupid vote to leave. The Tory’s and little farage did so much damage to this country it’s unbelievable.

I also want to briefly mention Oleshky Russia occupied this city, located on the left bank of the Dnipro River in the Kherson region, back in 2022 In 2023, a terrible disaster struck the area when Russian forces destroyed the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant, causing severe flooding #UkrainianView

That’s your choice, but dismissing something as “AI slop” says nothing about whether the argument itself is right or wrong. The AI section is simply a production tool I’m using to add my own commentary; the views and words are mine.

Either the UK government is: 1. Scared to confront the far-right; or 2. In agreement with the far-right. I don’t think it’s 2. I think they are absolutely terrified to do what they know is right because they believe we’re all racists. It is utterly shameful.

Restore Britain's Cllr Kieran Mishchuk of Sittingbourne, Sheppey is so determined to see "men on boats" everywhere that he mistook 2 minibuses full of agricultural labourers in an Asda capark for "illegal immigrants"
Last night, I made a post about 2 buses full of
foreign men & women parked in Asda. I have
been reliably informed that these buses are
agricultural workers.


hold my hands up for this genuine mistake
and accusation that wasn't fair. However, I
still don't understand why we need imported
foreign labour when we have plenty of people
from my generation who are unemployed and
would like a job

Not to be pedantic but Christopher Harborne has already given £25 million to Reform and Ben Delo £8 million. So the figure isn’t £72 million - it’s £105 million.

If Harbourne and Delo wanted to change society for the better, then their combined £72 million could have been given to cancer research, to buy hospital equipment, fund libraries, indeed, anything philanthropic but they chose to fund a dangerous ,vulgar and racist political company. F*ckers.

Ok I don't see how this is going to help with their appeal to anyone other than the hopelessly lost But that requires the other political parties (esp Lab and Cons) to prove they can run things and..........the jury is out And as an aside, surely this is a real chance for the Lib Dems to shine?
