Just time to slip another scandal in….right up to the line!!

@BrexitBin @implausibleblog @EmilyKerr36 Republic of Ireland have had PR for over 100 years.

Sending the first 300 migrants to Rwanda costs £1.8m each. To put that in context, school funding is around £7,600 per child per year. So the cost of sending one migrant to Rwanda would get 234 children education for a year. Is that a good use of money?

Lord Rose, Chairman of Asda, criticises Brexit

"We are the architects of our own demise. And our own demise started in 2016 when we made the ridiculous vote to come out of Europe"

"Now, you would say, well, you're an old moaning remainer, but of course I am. But of course, if you look at the stats, nobody has yet convinced anybody that coming out of Europe was the right thing to do"

"And by setting the barrier so low, if you like, at a 50% majority, most of those people, dare I say it, who were the one or 2% who got them over the line to get us to do Brexit, have died because they were mostly older people"

"Ask young people today if that's what they wanted. Ask if that's the right thing to have done. Ask business leaders to know, are they happy with the result? And the answer is no. So we made a big mistake"

"Everything that has happened since then, apart from the one big factor, which nobody could have predicted, COVID has a link back to what we did when we came out on Brexit"

@janemick Oh yes they did. Very short.

Robbery with violins: Brexit’s assault on classical music

Britain’s young classical musicians find their futures have been stolen as #Brexit wrecks their opportunities

“For hundreds of years musicians have moved across the Channel for work, learning and audiences.

Classical music is collaborative and international, Brexit is not.

It introduced barriers to work and travel, expensive paperwork that most musicians cannot afford, and sent young British artists down the pecking order when it comes to plum European jobs.

Everything from vital orchestra tours to singing gigs and study opportunities have been affected.”

This is appalling. The Government has quietly signed a contract targeting 20% cuts to the number of new education plans for children with special educational needs and disabilities (Send) to bring down costs

RISHI’S fishy MATHS

50 refurbed schools = 4
40 new hospitals = 5
2000 more GPs = 2200 fewer
5000 beds = 900 maybe
800 ambulances = 51
20000 more police = 0

5% pay rise when inflation 10% = 5% pay cut

Reducing inflation = prices still rise🤷🏻‍♂️

Bad at MATHS, INCOMPETENT or LIARS

[Rory Stewart @RoryStewartUK]

The British parliamentary and party system promotes amateurism, careerism and tribalism at the expense of seriousness and good government. A change of government is not enough. We need radical system reform. #PoliticsOnTheEdge

[Gina Miller @thatginamiller]

What have we become in the UK?

@SuellaBraverman shame on you #donotrpresentme
Home Office told girl, 5, she must leave UK while mother fights deportation https://t.co/Dwg8ssm4y5

[Gina Miller @thatginamiller]

Very much looking forward to seeing the 10,000s of you supporting the UK starting on the path to #RejoinEU

23 September, central London
#NationalRejoinMarch

Together we can fight for a UK once again respected around the world

@KHarveyProctor I think you have misread the situation. BBC can’t control the flags. Royal Albert Hall can’t control the flags. This is a free country. Did you complain when it was just Union Jacks being waved wildly?

[Penelope James @PJPRCOM]

@LizWebsterSBF It’s a scandal.

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

Devastating impact of Brexit on the music sector‼️

Almost half of UK musicians and workers in the music industry have had less work in the EU since Brexit than before it, and more than a quarter have had no EU work at all, according to a survey.

Shame that the Telegraph campaigned to remove our freedom of movement then, isn’t it!

[Anna Soubry 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇦🇪🇺🖤🤍 @Anna_Soubry]

What contemptible nonsense. More evidence of how the Conservative Party has fallen in to the same political gutter occupied by Trump & Co.

And to think we were once leading the world in our determination to take tough action to tackle climate change.
