In Oslo, Norway:

'He can't be for real, can he? Britain will need gas and oil for at least 30 years more.

And he's just closing down their own gas and oil industry?

So they'll have to buy it from us, rather than use their own?

We win! We get the profit on sales AND all the taxes too!

Champagne all round!'

At what point do we stop focusing on who needs to pay more tax and start asking where all of our tax money is going.

[Richard @RedWallPleb]

He's raising taxes on you, to give it away to everybody but you.

If you speak to victims of these kinds of crimes you realise that it’s not just lifelong impact for them, it ripples outwards & tears apart entire families. Multigenerational destruction. The human cost of this all is incalculable

[Prof. @Prof_Umbongo]

Roughly what he saved by cancelling live training exercises for our army. Remind me, who does he work for?

[Chris Philp MP @CPhilpOfficial]

Just in case the government try to say later that social care workers make a net contribution, here’s their own analysis showing that the cost of letting social care workers settle is £10 billion:

Slavery was an evil in which people from every continent and region participated. We should be honest about the whole history, not select the parts that are politically convenient today, especially given Britain's leading role in ending the transatlantic slave trade.

If Caribbean countries are asking Britain for a formal apology for Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, will they also be asking the same of the descendants of African kingdoms, rulers and merchants who captured, sold and profited from the trade?

On demands for reparations, whether through cash or debt relief, we have been down this track before. Twenty-five years ago, Jubilee 2000, Drop the Debt and Make Poverty History argued that cancelling the debts of poorer countries would give them a fresh start. More than $100 billion of debt was eventually written off, but many of those countries have since built up even bigger debts. Labour are already spending too much on Britain's welfare state, now is not the time for Andy Burnham to be providing global welfare.

There is no reason British taxpayers today should be held financially responsible for things that happened generations before any of us were born. And I have even less patience for political elites in commonwealth countries who don’t know how to make their own citizens prosperous now looking for another opportunity to blame Britain.

As Prime Minister, Andy Burnham should be Britain’s greatest defender. Instead, he is writing articles saying we need to confront our history (as if we haven't done enough of that) and considering another formal historical apology. Tony Blair already expressed Britain’s deep sorrow and regret for our role in the slave trade nearly twenty years ago. There is no need to do so again.

This is all another navel-gazing distraction. The Commonwealth should be looking forward, not endlessly backwards. That means economic partnerships to make us all richer and deeper military and security cooperation against common threats. If every Commonwealth summit becomes an exercise in presenting Britain with demands for cash then we need to start asking if it is worth the effort.

Our ruling class are telling us that after fifteen years of wage stagnation and rising prices, we have to have another decade of the same.
We are the fifth largest economy on earth.
If there is no money left, where has it gone?

[James Glancy @jaglancy]

It’s hard to believe the Government is forcing the MoD to sell off assets, whilst it pays billions to foreigners on ILR and illegal immigrants living on welfare and social housing.

[david shaw @davidshaw84]

@UKLabour Meanwhile in the real world 11000 pundlound employees hoping they have a job to pay for Christmas! Along with numerous other businesses that are closing! Is that the hope you are talking about? Morons! So detached from reality!

[Chris Philp MP @CPhilpOfficial]

The government intends to spend £150 million on new sites to accommodate illegal immigrants

They aren’t planning to stop illegal small boat immigrants - they’re planning to accommodate them

This is totally wrong - illegal immigrants should all be deported, which outside the ECHR we could do. That’s the new Conservative plan - deport them within a week of arrival

[Ameer Kotecha @Ameer_Kotecha]

I don’t think this has had the press coverage it deserves. It is insane.

The right to decide who enters Britain belongs to the British state, not to whichever charity has the Home Office’s ear.

The opportunities for favouritism, nepotism and corruption are obvious. A well-connected individual with well-placed supporters will secure nomination over others facing greater persecution. Dodgy intermediaries may well demand money from families seeking sponsorship. Charities could become vehicles for bringing over relatives, associates or even political allies. It risks creating an entire system of private patronage.

I go into all this in more detail here: https://t.co/HxNhtH3FSe

@AndrewmitchMP I think they're already here with there problems that are now our problems and we're still paying for it....

[Bernie @Artemisfornow]

Well, that was sneaky wasn’t it? … Labours budget will mean MORE migration not less, as they promised!

Remember they said last year in their immigration paper “Salary thresholds will rise,”?

And also promised to reduce the Graduate visa from two years to 18 months?

Er … in the budget they have lowered the salary threshold and raised the graduate visa back to 2 years.

So we’re not reducing immigration or dependence on cheap foreign workers. They changed their minds and hoped you wouldn’t notice.

[david shaw @davidshaw84]

@UKLabour Hope???? Every decision you make turbo charges the decline! I've never known the country so divided and down about everything! Tories were awful but you make them look competent by comparison!

[Mario Creatura @MarioCreatura]

Utterly heartbreaking.

A must watch.

[Andrew Pierce @andrewpierceexc]

Buried in @JohnHealey_MP budget is the revelation of £150m for more army bases for illegal migrants. Wonder why the chancellor never mentioned that in his dull statement

[Mark my Words. @havingagiraf]

Just walked through Liverpool Street station and the Gurkha British Army brass band were playing, soldiers and volunteers were selling poppies. It felt very British and very patriotic.

Sadly very few people appeared to be buying them, and looking around I would guess maybe 1-20 were wearing them and the vast majority who were, were over 40+

It’s a sad state of affairs that through years of left wing indoctrination in our schools and uncontrolled immigration of people who hate us , that one of our greatest traditions is dying out.

Please buy and wear a poppy with pride .

[david shaw @davidshaw84]

@ukhomeoffice Its clear that Britain is struggling and clearly there is a lot of division so your answer is to add to the fire!🤦🏻‍♂️compassion without control= chaos! Maybe if you stopped boat crossing/deported crims people might be more considerate of this? But until then you've got no chance!
