One brown face is too many for them.

I've looked up My Tyrone. He seems to be a popgun for higher, having advocated for Remain when he was close to the Liberal Democrats, then worked for an organization trying to cut regulations after Brexit, now apparently back to the anti-Brexit side. He's typically ignorant.

I mean, heaven forbid that your colleagues know something about the subject before steaming in.

Hilariously Kemi has alighted on this non-point, I see.

Yep. With bonus lump of labour fallacy from Goodwin.

This service deal is reciprocal but it's beyond the tiny imagination of Reform supporters that Brit tech workers would ever go to India. They're just chai wallers and rice pickers over there.
Less concerned about the detail of this deal and more interested in the big picture it sends to Trump; RoW is moving on without you so go fuck yourself.

To the Government's credit, they make the point in their press release about it benefiting British workers abroad. You'd think the Kippers would be in favour of this sort of thing, India being in the Commonwealth...

The chances of highly skilled Indian tech workers turning up in Clacton or Ashfield 'taking all the council houses' and 'stinking of curry' are very slim indeed.

The argument will be about taking jobs- see Goodwin. These are intracompany transfers as I understand it. Offices in "Mumbai, Paris, Skegness"

Another nice shit sandwich left for the new government.

England faces drought this summer as reservoir water levels dwindle
Exclusive: Government and water firms preparing for possible shortages as dry weather is expected to continue

Sadly the take away from this for most of the BTL folk will be the real issue is Starmer not nationalizing water firms, which apparently produces reservoirs out of nowhere. Thames Water was actually trying to do the right thing but has been faced with nonsense like this.

Killer arguments like this from Layla Moran.

“I would prefer the amount of money and effort which is going into the proposed reservoir to instead be focussed on eradicating sewage pollution in our rivers.”

I seem to spend half my time moaning about Lib Dems now. I'd still vote for them if I had to, of course, but there's too much of this stuff. Doubtless the taxes/ water bills that would pay for the eradication of sewage in our rivers would be opposed by them too.

I'm going to unfollow him he's been a complete sod over this.
