    The EU and ECHR has definitely been a barrier.
    HMG certainly should ‘step forward’ from now on. However, the Albanian issue has been actually happening for years now, but seems to have been ‘turbo-charged’ over last 2 years.

    But no one seems to be able to explain or answer why the EU countries are just letting asylum peeps cross The Continent to Northern France and then allow criminal gangs to sell people to cross to the UK.
    It’s criminal.

    This disgrace of a government wants to take away OUR human rights, not just those of all those “Johnny Foreigners”. Has that escaped your notice?

    As for the EU countries allowing the immigrants to pass through on their way to the UK. Do you really think we would not do exactly the same if there was anywhere to go to?

    In the words of Jim Royle “take back control, my arse!”

    Her talk of a ” invasion ” is lighting the touch paper ….Sunak has to act quickly here , we needed a steady Eddie Chancellor to calm the markets , we need a steady Eddie home secretary not someone provoking the right wing just to save her job , get her in today Sunak …and out the back door , I’ll be amazed if there not more examples of her breaking protocol

    She’s very divisive – I’m not blind to the fact, surely, that she’s planning to a certain gallery.

    Little England will be cheering her on.

    This could get even messier.

    The dangerous rhetoric from various sources is having the desired effect after that act of terrorism was committed by the petrol bomber. Similar happening across the pond with the intruder in the Pelosi household.

    As for the EU, if criminal gangs are indeed doing what you say they are, what makes you think they give a toss about EU rules or any other rules? Of course we withdrew from the Dublin Agreement as well which was another spectacular own goal by the Brexitists. Far easier for France to send them on their way now.

    This is all a distraction. I’m surprised The Blob is allowing it 😉

    No mention of Matt Hancock?

    What a poor decision on his part.

    If you were one of the most despised men in Britain, wouldn’t you accept three hundred large to have it confirmed on national TV before disappearing into obscurity?

    Man with no shame gives further proof he’s a man with no shame – nothing to see here.

    I can’t for the life of me understand why people aren’t taking to the streets to complain about the fact that we’re being told we’ll have to pay more tax to cover the government for itself disastrous mini budget. I was angry today when Sky News pointed out how many other MP’s had appeared in tv programmes without pointing out that, apart from Dorries and Hancock the others were no longer MP’s at the time. They did, however, mention it later on. Dorries, alledgedly uses her time in parliament to write her rubbish novels.

    “…we’ll have to pay more tax to cover the government for itself disastrous mini budget.”

    Oh c’mon. The mini-budget just made an already bad finance pos worse.
    Jeez –
    how do peeps think covid £bns would be repaid?
    Sudden shift upwards in demand, coupled with China’s impossible and pathetic zero-covid response resulted in supply issues, whilst demand shot up. Inflation followed.
    There’s a war going on that’s pushed up energy costs all over the world?
    When were you expecting QE to end?
    Did you really think record low interest rates would last forever?

    Yes, the mini-budget made things worse, but instead of a slower, more manageable ‘recovery’ in finances, urgency seems the driver.
    Quite frankly, if a new government (of a different colour) was in power tomorrow they wouldnt have much room for manoeuvre either.

    Oh c’mon yourself wilts. Of course the mini budget made things worse and people like me are having to pay for it. Methinks you’re the one that’s been gaslighted, not me.

    Why did the mini budget involve tax cuts then?

    As for interest rates, most people can see they had to rise eventually but it could have been slow and managed (much like the recovery you mention). People can cope with a gradual rise over a number of years. For some their mortgage payments went up hundreds a month almost overnight. Government and BoE asleep at the wheel, we pay both of them a lot of money to get these things right.

    I agree that it would be difficult for any government but again, twelve years.

    Chezza’s (sorry, Gladders) liking Starmer’s form and betting themes.

    Last week it was a collateral formline giving a lettuce the beating of Sunak on a line through Truss and this week it’s Cruella being shorter odds to be next PM than to get the backlog of immigration applications up to date.

    I know I’m biased but Sunak sounding less convincing week on week – is he going to resort to the increasingly old “you once supported Corbyn” line literally every week?

    So Sunak is now going to COP27 because he’s scared of being upstaged by Johnson. I recall May making Johnson foreign secretary to ‘keep him close’ so I think Sunak might regret not giving Johnson a cabinet post. The good thing for the environment is that Johnson, having failed miserably as PM is still wanting a legacy and is looking to the climate change crisis and Ukraine to provide him with one. Plus his wife and mate Zac Goldsmith will be egging him on.

    Probably- because that’s all he’s got.

    As I mentioned previously, there ain’t much substance behind the veneer with Fishy Rishi.

    Truss was hopeless and made a bad situation worse. But it really bugs me when the likes of Sunak and Gove are trying to pin all the blame on her whe the economic crisis we are in was mostly their fault.

    “As I mentioned previously, there ain’t much substance behind the veneer with Fishy Rishi.”

    And I believe I observed there’s less, not more, to him than meets the eye.

    He reminds me of a student university hustings – and that’s not a compliment.

    It’s Official: Younger adults face a doubling of their mortgage payments (far worse than in my day) and we’re entering a two-year recession.

    Next Election Most Seats
    Labour 1.55
    Tories 2.82

    If the Tories win Most Seats they will be the first UK government in history to have presided over a major negative fiscal event and been returned to power at the next election.

    You can possibly get away with costing lives in a Pandemic, but not messing up the economy.

    “It’s the economy, stupid” – was the slogan in 1992 when George Bush’s delusion his New World Order would make up for his economic woes, as he took on Bill Clinton, cost him The White House.
