Talking about things in the news and British politics. Sometimes with humour, sometimes without. Slightly impartial.

@Kimmi520381244 You asked the questions...

@WasWitherjay @LeeAndersonMP_ Here's a page from a government document dated 2020 which states asylum can only be claimed once physically present in the UK - and it's not possible to do so via an embassy or visa etc.

Left: Helen Whateley says that since 2010 we have 'record numbers' of staff in the NHS

Right: GMB citing King's Fund report, "NHS has fewer doctors, nurses and beds than many other western countries."

@GregHands The Tories have no working policies other than culture wars and division and they can't even do that properly.

Politely telling Jacob Rees-Mogg on his show that people don’t like cronyism, that he failed as a government minister and that Boris Johnson rewarded him for that failure with a knighthood.

[Frank Forthright @NewsForthright]

@LeeAndersonMP_ @MattChorley Talking of missing the point, here's a page from a government document published in 2020 which states that people must be physically present in the UK to claim asylum & have the legal right to remain until a decision is made on their claim by the Home Office. 😬

@LeeAndersonMP_ @MattChorley Says the guy comparing going to Glastonbury to seeking asylum in an attempt to boost his culture wars.

Stop talking everything down, Lee. ❤️

@BBCPolitics The only time Sunak is grounded or down to earth is when his helicopter is being MOT'd.

[Joe Lycett @joelycett]

I’m SICK AND TIRED of hearing from so called ‘comedians’ on political shows!!! These are for serious people like Nigel Farage and Dominic Raab!!! Ben Elton should be ASHAMED and JAILED.

Sunak says he's going to win the next General Election.

I thought his boots were too big for him but it seems it may actually be the other around.

@PolitlcsUK @bbclaurak I suppose they might if they ban anyone from voting who isn't a Conservative.
