BJ lies and lies and lies. How he has the brass neck to bring this up when he so clearly didn't manage the situation when he had the chance... And I will never forgive him for how little he did over covid. These tossers need to step back out of public life with some humility. But no, more grift..

This is so important. Unaware or don't care? Palantir already has its claws firmly dug into the UK. Thanks to successive naive - or perhaps actively colluding?- UK Gov depts and leadership

I’ve worn a grubby RNLI cap for decades. I sound London, but I was born in Truro and I was a basically feral (Gen X) kid wandering the coast path with a dog until sunset for a lot of my early life. The lifeboats are in the fabric like trawlers and farms and pasties and fish and chips.

Bonnie Greer was never anybody but herself. So unique. So indomitable. So unaffected by the crowd. A lover of complexities and no easy answers. We were emailing in recent weeks about Jason Arday – she had much to say which she wasn't able to in the end. A mentor who lifted us up. We will miss you.

I'm not surprised but I'm truly disgusted that this narrative of "dangerous fighting age men posing a threat to women and children" is genuinely doing the rounds on the media with almost no push back at all. This is 1930s level stuff.

I'm very much hoping to hear ALL MPs in coastal areas with RNLI members as constituents make a huge deal of this appalling thuggish behaviour and call for these terrorists to be proscribed & arrested. Intimidating lifesaving volunteers for a 'Royal' organisation - could they be any LESS patriotic?

Come on, time to stop this self-harm. We're beholden to rogue states because we're desperate for trade but we won't just talk about terms for coming back to the EU. I don't care about red lines. I care about caving to Trump & creeps like Thiel for a poxy tiny % of trade. So damaging for our economy

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.

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.
