People's problems in this country aren't caused by other people seeking asylum. They're caused by disingenuous politicians begging you to give up your hard-fought for human rights.

Good afternoon you lovely lot! It seems that dispatches have tried doing a hit piece on disabled people. I don't know how many times I have to say this, but benefits are not easy to claim, people don't get given free cars, and disabled people aren't the reason the economy is fucked!

When Greg Wallace blames his predicament on “women of a certain age” what he really means is that ‘it was better in the good old days when men could do what they wanted and women had best shut up’. Well Greg, that ship has sailed. #DaughterFather #GranddaughterGrandad

Love how Gregg Wallace is making this worse for himself and destroying his chances of redemption by revealing who he really is, an entitled misogynistic prick. People of all ages can see that. This isn’t a class war, it’s the consequences of your shitty actions, Gregg.

Perhaps a PR system instead of FPTP would go some way to retaining a sense of dignity and respect during normal debates. Where co-operation replaces confrontation for the good of the country rather than their parties.

Andrew Bailey is right. Most people don't realise how shockingly *bad* is the UK's goods trade performance after Brexit and the pandemic. UK exports are 23% lower than the pre-2020 trend and imports are 16% below the trend.
