@lisareality1@StompWompin You’d have zero time to react if they’re driving at 70 mph or faster towards you. Your decision to feel like sticking behind a lorry might be a wise move for at least the foreseeable future until this latest crazy practice stops.
I know political campaigning is tough - but:
DON’T let the microphones be set up so you are filmed with a crane coming out of your head
DON’T be filmed underneath an exit sign
And as for going to visit where the Titanic was built…….
Unelected bureaucrat David Cameron explains how we need the Rwanda plan because of Brexit 🤦♂️
Anushka Asthana, "Hand on heart. If this had come up when you were PM, would you have gone with this Rwanda policy?"
David Cameron, "We had a situation where you could return people directly to France.. People land on a beach in Kent, you take them straight back to France.. You therefore break the model of the people smugglers"
Anushka Asthana, "Shouldn't you be trying to get that?"
David Cameron, "That's not available at the moment"
Anushka Asthana, "Because of Brexit?"
David Cameron, "(Yes) Because of the situation we are in (having left the EU)"
The UK has participated in the Dublin process since it was inaugurated in 1990. When the UK left the EU, the UK left the Dublin agreement and we no longer have the automatic right to return asylum seekers back to France.
So Brexit was to take back control from unelected bureaucrats, and here we have David Cameron an unelected bureaucrat in charge of our foreign policy.
And Brexit was about taking control of our borders and asylum seekers, and we've lost the ability to return asylum seekers to France, and instead have to spend over £1,000,000 to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, in a 1 in 1 out policy i.e. for every asylum seeker we send to Rwanda, they send us one of their asylum seekers, so we don't have fewer asylum seekers, we're just shuffling asylum seekers around.
Hundreds of millions for a PR campaign to appease racists while there is a cost of living crisis in the UK and millions of Brits living in poverty. Disgraceful.
Sunak is seeing his Rwanda “deterrent” fail & Reform UK Ltd is dividing Tory votes
So he reaches for his dog whistle re ECHR

Jemma Forte, "So the Daily Mail and the other right wing papers are trying to find anything that they can dirt on the Labour party"
"And this is the second time the Daily Mail really featured this very, very heavily. And the story is Angela Raynor sold her council, sorry, bought her council house and apparently might own between one and a half to say, three and a half thousand pounds in capital gains tax when she sold it"
"However, this has already been looked at. She's had legal advice saying she's fine. It was looked at by the police once"
"But these people are desperate to reopen the case and the hypocrisy is just off the scale because the Daily Mail is owned by Lord Ashcroft, who doesn't pay tax in this country, a non dom. It was millions and millions and millions of pounds offshore a newspaper that avoids paying its taxes tax"
"And they're going after a woman who bought her a council house and owes a couple of grand"
"Now, if that is so, then obviously labor important members of the Labour party need to be held up to scrutiny. They need to be accountable. That's absolutely fine"
"But from a party that is full of millionaires and billionaires and people like Jeremy Hunt, who, for instance, said it was an honest mistake that he didn't pay stamp duty on seven properties, it just. It feels rather grotesque to me" @jemmaforte
Never forget. This man asked people to vote on #Brexit. Without defining what Brexit meant. Without carrying out any projections of consequences. All in an (unsuccessful) attempt to settle an internal Tory party feud. He then knighted all his mates and f***ed off into the sunset.
Ben Chu #Newsnight explains how the UK is in an economic slump
One way to boost the economy, is to rejoin the EU Single Market, that's an instant £40 billion a year in tax revenue
Lord Ken Clarke: The Rwanda bill is an extremely dangerous precedent.. so I very much hope there will be a legal challenge, which will enables the Supreme Court to strike it down as unconstitutional, but a better step would be for Parliament not to pass the bill in the 1st place.
@TeesVMonitor Phew! Well that's fine, no #ToryCorruption!
I knew it. And strangely, Michael Gove seemed to know it- weeks in advance!
#ToriesCorruptToTheCore ? No sireee! Nothing to see here, least of all in Teesside.
