"The number of migrants who have arrived in the UK after crossing the Channel has reached a record high for the first three months of a calendar year.

According to provisional Home Office figures, 338 people arrived in seven boats on Tuesday, taking the total for the year to date to 4,644.

The previous record for arrivals in January to March was set in 2022 with 4,548."
They really are ****ing useless aren't they? :emoticon-0102-bigsm
 
Next month benefits will be indexed by 6.7%, apparently, average earnings are increasing by 6.2%, and some boffins are scratching their eggheads wondering why increasing numbers are choosing not to work !
I assume dla and carers allowance won't increase by the same?

They put huge effort into creating attention grabbing headlines, little effort into implementing their plans ...

... and absolutely no effort into their excuses <doh>

December: "Ministers have argued that the 36 per cent fall in crossings last year is not linked to the weather conditions."

They won’t get 5000 on planes to dangerous countries. Maybe, just maybe, they need a different approach.

We're currently legally taking in Rwanadan refugees fleeing persecution ...

... a TV political drama couldn't be more farfetched without being ridiculed.
It’s insulting the whole thing. Crass, unintelligent, attention seeking ideas to solve multifaceted complication. They are utter ****e this government. If the Daily Star made governments this is it.
 
I don't understand why Angela Rayner is letting this story about her house dominate the political conversation.

If she's done nothing wrong, publishing is a win win all day long.
