The privatisation of the water was meant exactly to achieve the very things mentioned above. Did anyone think otherwise?
Owning water companies seems like a decent investment ...
... massive dividends and, if it all goes tits up, that nice Mr Hunt will bail you out

There is a crisis brewing in terms of building quality and schools mate. No idea if it goes beyond schools. It is to do with school building projects (long before this govt to be fair) and the use of so called crumbling concrete. What the article doesnt say is these buildings were built with a short shelf life. It is madness. Even more worrying there is a suggestion that we dont even know all buildings that are affected. Genuinely frightening. As someone who puts education above all else (NHS, social care) this is sleepless nights stuff.
Also on the education front 1 in 10 GCSE students are currently out of school! Where do you even start with that sort of stat.
People might not agree, but in hindsight O believe a major failure of Brexit handling in this country was school closures. The impact of that will still be with us 20, 30, 40 years from now. History books will mark that policy as one of our worst in my opinion.
Partygate: Rees-Mogg and Dorries likely to be named in ‘contempts of parliament’ report
Special report will raise issues encountered during initial inquiry into Johnson rule breaches

Absolutely pointless ...
... Rees-Mogg would simply talk until everyone was asleep then sneak out.

There is a hundred things more vital to our future than this rubbish. The press need to move on, these people have, and wealthily so.
Rwanda scheme unlawful.
At what point do what are basically prison camps become the last option left?
Can't stop them, can't deport them, can't let them wander around unprocessed, can't move them to a safe third country.

Why do the Boris defending MP' fan club keep saying 'If this was a court of law' ... 'If Harriet Harman was a judge' ... 'the punishment handed down' in a ridiculous illogical defence.
It was a committee with a Chair and they didn't punish anyone.
They were invited to ask questions, collate evidence and pass it to Parliament.
These claims that it's destroying democracy are straight from Trump's songbook and badly out of time with parliament, MPs and the country.
The more they speak the more deluded they look ...
... it's only them that can't see it.

The deportation to Rwanda scheme was never going to be allowed imo but you're right, we're running out of options.
We need to massively invest in the processing of illegal arrivals for a start, if you qualify then so be it, if not (like all these single Albanian blokes that seem to be flooding in) then you get absolutely nothing from this country.
When there's a proper well invested processing system in place with clear legal routes. We used to have one.
Clue - its been dismantled by this lot so they can dog whistle to the morons who lap up the distraction from the fact they aren't actually delivering anything to improve the country for anyone but the top 0.5%
The government will appeal against a court ruling which deemed plans to send asylum seekers to Rwanda are unlawful, Rishi Sunak has said.
Court of Appeal judges ruled Rwanda had not provided enough safeguards to prove it is a "safe third country".

Not counting the cost of legal challenges and appeals, we have paid £140m to Rwanda to process 1000 refugees, despite Rwanda currently having a maximum capacity of 200 spaces, we have also agreed to take an unspecified number of refugees from Rwanda in return. Since announcing the deal almost 50,000 people have arrived in the UK on small boats.
In my opinion the numbers don’t add up and it is a waste of tax payers’ money to continue with this flawed legislation.
It's the slogans that count mate, facts are for suckers.
Everything is world class, historic, oven ready, etc, despite their actions never speaking louder than their words.
And their supporters just repeat each new slogan like parrots ...
... kangaroo court, witch hunt, affront to democracy , etc.
Boris'll have them storming parliament before long, because they've stolen the election
So if that’s £140.000 per refugee , if they planned to send 50.000 there , that comes to SEVEN BILLION.
Would that not pay for a few asylum application processing staff and there on an organised legal route system !?
The problem is Gelders, Rwanda can only take 200 at the moment and are only contracted to take 1000 with an unspecified number coming the other way. Whichever way you look at it, it is a drop in the ocean compared to what is required.
Aye , I realise the current agreement, just looking at the monetary cost - even this first £140m would pay for enough personnel to clear the backlog and regain some order and perhaps end the problem
I read it was £169,000 per person. You honestly could not make this lot up. Their zany antics are comedy gold
