Tim Farron, "The unpleasantness about this debate is only matched by the lack of proper information" #BBCQT
"85% of refugees settle in the country next to where they come from"
"The French take 3x more refugees than we do"
"The Germans take 4x more refugees than we do"
"If you put us back in the European Union, we are 19th in the league table when it comes to the number of refugees we take per capita"
"Do we need deterrents? Yes. The best deterrents is competence. If we assess people when they arrive - and they are not illegal immigrants - they are people seeking asylum.. From Sudan.. Afghanistan.. Iran.. Syria.. 90%+ turn out to be genuine refugees"
"If we have a competent government, and we haven't had one, let's see about this one.. And you assess them quickly.. And return the ones that are not refugees"
"That is your deterrent"
"Rwanda was a waste of money.. If they spent that money on case workers we could have processed these people, returned the ones that weren't refugees in a humane way, and let th eones who are genuine refugees, become British, pay their taxes, be part of our country, and we should be proud to admit them"
Very well said @timfarron ๐
@PamonGabriola@carolvorders has a stop the tories website which shows you how to tactically vote tories out in your constituency https://t.co/ZOaGAsTaMP
Liz Truss to platform with Carl Benjamin who has said after threats of rape to female MPs "there's been a lot of talk about whether I would or wouldn't RAPE Jess Phillips. I suppose with enough pressure I might cave, but....nobody's got that much beer."
@jessphillips is asking for Liz Truss to be deselected
If Rishi Sunak refuses to deselect her, then he approves of Benjamin
What have Tories done in their 14 yrs to protect women ?
Nothing or worse than nothing ?
Just when you think they can't get any worse , they lower their bar
@OfficialFPL Who wants to adviseIโd fielded this squad taking a 4 point hit and intended to bench boost BUT now Cunha is out and Ait Nouri on bench. Would you just field your best team and 4get bench boost OR take another 8 point hit to transfer your Wolves players and do the bench boost? Go
