Male, 42, good sense of humour (apparently!), seeks any gender to tweet with. Must enjoy nonsense and be prone to an occasional GIF.

During the first airing of my Star Trek series where a kiss was objectionable; many southern stations pulled the episode & condemned the show. Using today’s vernacular it would absolutely be called“woke DEI crap”because it went against “norms” of society for its time. Not a lot seems to have changed.🤷🏼😑

Man in red, "Nazis blamed Jews.. We're now blaming migrants, legal or illegal, for damage to our country"

"Migrants weren't running our country, it was the Conservatives with austerity" #BBCQT

"Migrants were not responsible for Brexit.. For Liz Truss"

"Don't forget, those populist polices in the 30s led to Adolf Hitler being elected"

"If we follow the same rhetoric, blaming of migrants, we will go in the same way"

Opinion | In the end, the Budget offered a pretty clear picture of this Government’s moral vision. Starmer and Reeves are concerned with workers, and in particular with the dignity of work

We asked public to estimate proportion of UK immigration in each category [Giving respondents 100 points to split between 4 categories]

Asylum: estimate 37% (actual: 7%)
Family: estimate 17% (actual 6%)
Work: estimate 26% (actual 40%)
Study: estimate 19% (actual 38%)

When someone says we need to change the NHS to an insurance system, show them this. Also, if you underfund a service it won't work as effectively. The way to fix the NHS is to fund it properly

Dr Chaand Nagpaul, "Many of our European nations provide a more accessible service... But the NHS has a gross deficit compared to our European neighbours"

"An average European country has 30% more doctors.. There are twice as many more doctors in Germany than the UK"

"There are three times more hospital beds in Germany compared to the UK, twice as many in France"

"So that's why they have better healthcare more easily"

"An insurance system would diminish funds into the NHS"

"And Belgium, which was given as an example has twice the administrative costs of the NHS'"

"Changing the NHS to an insurance based system will not help the NHS.. What the NHS actually needs is the doctors, nurses, the hospital beds"

Thank you @CNagpaul for explaining this and standing up for the NHS 👏

Excl: Rishi Sunak ignored a direct plea from Britain's most senior police officers who wrote to him a week before the election urging him to announce the SDS40 early release measure.

They warned that failure to act would leave criminals exploiting the prisons crisis and police unable to keep the public safe:
