Read this thread. Every word.
And then read it again, because you will not believe it can be true.
But it is. Every word.
@DavidLammy and @sarahsackman want to remove the right to jury trial in cases involving *death*.
Homicide cases.
@barneyronay Don't forget, (ex)BT Sport in the 2021 series dropped the audio feed from Fox Sports as it was all-Aussie (and awful), leading them to desperately grab David Gower in Oz and whoever else they could rustle up off-tube back home. Seems @tntsports just pulled the lever again. Awful.
The first away #Ashes not to be affected by Covid restrictions, @tntsports / @cricketontnt have non-cricket commentators working off-tube with summarisers in Aus, taking the Fox graphics package, and awful audio. What an utter shower, as well as charging ££££ for the 'privilege'.
My wife got Indefinite Leave to Remain in 2004. We paid for both the initial 1 year visa from USA to UK and then ILR. A lot of money to the State for "no recourse to public funds". She's earned income tax & NI for 15yrs in financial service. @reformparty_uk & Farage - shut tf up.
Angela Eagle, "We will get out of hotels, with a sustainable solution, by the end of this parliament"
In 2016 there were 1,500 hotel rooms allocated to asylum seekers
By 2025 end of June, there were 32,059 asylum seekers in hotel rooms
Brexit saw an end to the UK's ability to return asylum seekers to the first country they arrived at within the EU
International law lets an asylum seeker seek asylum anywhere, but the EU had a system which said e.g. if an asylum seeker enters first into Italy then comes to the UK, the UK can legally return them directly to Italy
Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage then sold to us Brexit under the banner of take back control, but what it did was take us outside the EU and remove our right to return an asylum seeker to the first EU country they arrived in
Brexit literally made it more difficult for us to do what the populist far right who keep saying return them to the first safe country they reached, want us to do
