It's time they have one job only as MP. Lobbyist, should be much more open when meeting MP.

Not for the "plebs" who gave the government the money in the first place there isn't. For MP's and Lords there is veritable bonanza of money to be hadRwanda election threatens to delay deportation flights until July votes cast

- Since the Brexit vote and the Conservatives' victory in 2019, the 12 months to June 2022 saw the fastest population growth since the 1960s.
It's not small boats that are driving an increase in immigration - it's choices made by the government. Almost 30,000 people came by small boats last year and 1.4 million visas were issued by the government for people to come to the UK legally.

The boats are a convenient distraction from the omnishambles of Tory Neoliberism.
I see our farmers are starting to blockade roads with tractors like the farmers abroad have been doing for MONTHS . The EU doesn’t seem as hunky dory as some on here would like you to think.
It's not perfect and no-one, on here, ever said it was ...
... this country is worse off since Brexit, so is the EU.
It was supposed to mean we'd 'control our borders'. Instead there are more legal immigrants than before.
As long as they are legal
Ps I can’t recall any posts by Brexit voters against legal immigration but you can find me some if you want.

Why trade with France and Germany when we can trade with Australia, India, South Africa and Canada? Let's just ignore the costs and logistics of shipping eh? An analogy is that petrol is 10p cheaper in Plymouth so I drive 400 miles there and 400 miles back to "save" 10p and just ignore the £200 petrol costs it entails to get it
Exactly marra we need legal immigration for the country to operate,what we don’t need are these criminals coming over in boatsAs long as they are legal

This fella makes the same point.
He doesn't seem like a radical nutcase with an agenda tbh.

Agree, but. Legal immigration is now an issue, not sure of the exact details, but net migration is now at its highest
Aye seen the figures for the “legal” situation and is alarming but surely a competent government can control this,mind asking for a competent government is daunting
Immigration is needed for lots of things.
We need to import foreign nurses because we don't produce enough here. Sadly 10,000 a year trained and qualified then go abroad, to places like Australia where they can double their wages.
If we stopped all Immigration the country would literally collapse.

Two Tory ministers have quit the government in a double blow to Rishi Sunak, who has been forced to carry out a mini-reshuffle of the junior ranks.
The veteran MP Robert Halfon unexpectedly announced he would step down as education minister and would be leaving the Commons at the next general election.
The armed forces minister, James Heappey, who had already said that he planned to go, confirmed he had left his role at the Ministry of Defence in advance of standing down.
The pair join a growing exodus of Conservative MPs from the Commons as the party languishes in the polls, with Keir Starmer’s Labour party expected to enter government after the election this autumn.
Halfon becomes the 63rd Tory MP to say they will not stand in the next election, with Theresa May and the former cabinet minister Brandon Lewis confirming their departures in recent weeks. Four former Conservatives who now sit as independents are also leaving, meaning that just over a fifth of the Tory MPs elected in 2019 are quitting.
