The comment of course says so much about the man

Boris Johnson

But it says so so much more about those who *enable* him and *normalise* such

The below figures from 13/5/2024
It was day 220 Image
so the last few days have been taken up with much coverage of how the UN has revised the figures provided by the Palestinian Authority to at a brush stoke remove thousands of civilians casualties Image

I would like to congratulate @TerraOrBust

They have identified a bona fide brexit benefit

No, no. Really.

They have.

So much so he is going to add it to a list of brexit benefits.

I once wrote a thread
justifying leaving the ECHR
and
defending Boris Johnson from charges of racism

here I go on a journey where I ask the question , what happens if Rwanda succeeds not from the perspective of the refugee but from the exporting countries
so

the Rwanda bill got Royal Assent this week

it is now beginning to ramp up the "regular" flights of asylum seekers to Rwanda

so let's assume Rwanda has the capacity to take all the "new" "asylum seekers

that leaves the backlog in the UK of course who are exempt
so Rwanda takes in ALL of the asylum seekers the UK can ship in planes to it

other countries who are being "swamped" by refugees see the success of Rishi Sunak and decide to get in on some of that action

to follow the "beacon" of "open global Britain"

so let's go back to the David Cameron one

That comes from 2015

Where David vowed an "assault on poverty" Image
It is now 9 years later

4.3 million children in relative poverty - the highest ever
3.6 million children in absolute poverty - up 300k
2.2 million children living in "food insecure" households
820k children living in households that use foodbanks
