Here is a very good explainer from @ZoeJardiniere on the refugee issue - some handy facts for the ‘why don’t they just stay in France’ racist brigade. It’s a must-watch actually, not least for the dignity with which she handles a frothy-mouthed idiotic MP.

This is why the person in charge of the nation’s news media doesn’t do news interviews. It’s because a baby armadillo that had been dropped in a vat of LSD would do better. In this exhibit, she bemoans the lack of MEPs and Commissioners after #Brexit 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

Well, this is exactly what happens when you put a lazy, undisciplined, unprincipled journalist in charge of a G7 country isn’t it.
Easiest deal in history, overseas aid 0.7% of GDP, 40 new hospitals, Northern Powerhouse Rail, HS2➡️Leeds, no tax rises, pensions triple lock, 350 million/week to NHS, boost for 🇬🇧 fishing, Erasmus scheme safe, EU citizens secure, no Irish Sea border.
All promised.
All broken.
