Sitting in his caravan, counting out his money?
David Mellor referred to Cameron "chillaxing in a shed". Possibly with his trotters up.

Is there any point in saying that Michael Foot got slaughtered for looking a lot better than Bozo?

Truss looks either like she’s shat herself or her legs are being remote controlled by someone.
Big SuperMarionation energy.
My dad used to refer to a friend of my older sister, years ago, who had a similarly strange gait, as looking "as if her legs are screwed onto her arse". He was sometimes cruel, but fair, my dad.

Not a lot of camera action for Bozo despite having spent time ruffling his hair and dressing like 'a character.'

Yebbut, Foot wasn't a "ka-rik-tur" like Johnson, to invoke a certain Floridian fuckwit's turn of phrase.

Being called a disingenuous charlatan by Chris Philp is like being told by David Gower that you play too many lazy wafts outside leg stump. Funnily enough, most people removed aren't clapped in irons. IND (as it used to be called in my day, better name than Border Force) turn up and say "you shouldn't be here, coming quietly?" and they do. Starmer didn't say any of them had come on small boats- who aren't illegal.
Note the lie about illegal asylum seekers too.
Ladies and gentlemen, His Majesty's Opposition.

He mentions small boats and illegal because those words are crack to the gammon. Doesn't matter if they're true or even relevant to the matter at hand. Just use them at every possible moment.

For all the good it does them. He might as well walk around with "We didn't stop the boats either, vote Farage" tattooed on his forehead.
I think they were doing "they haven't stopped the use of hotels, broken promise" the other day. Funnily enough the promise was to stop it by the end of the Parliament.

Did Chris Philp just mention the inconvenient fact out loud, than most migrants will leave of their own accord.
End of the day it’s about processing claims, you do that effectively and you will see a reduction, Chris wants Labour to set a target, quite rightly Labour seem to have avoided that, we had 15 years of targets and they were never met.
World in flux, tensions building in India and Pakistan, the conflict in Ukraine and climate change you’d be absolutely bonkers to set any targets.

Open a processing centre at Calais and increase the number of enforcement staff here. The problem isn't the number coming in, it's when they get here and disappear.

The papers (on that side) were full of Brexit Betrayal this morning, and how this would lead to red wall revolts and all sorts. None of them seemed to mention cheaper and more plentiful food.

You can understand now why Labour have been reluctant to discuss Brexit. The Tory rags have had those headlines ready to go for months and months.
Still, the cork is finally out of the bottle. Now we can hopefully go forward with closer ties because you can bleat ‘surrender’ all you like - if people get cheaper food, business get easier exports and everyone feels like they have a few more quid that is what will matter. And every time they do whine ‘surrender, but nothing material happens to make people feel like they have no rights but rather have more, the more power it loses.

I think Labour, apart from immigration, don't care what the Mail and co say. I think it's taken this long because there've been other even more urgent things- Ukraine, Trump.

Labour have had a couple of weeks of Paki-bashing, any other forrins-demonising, (and kicking the crips' crutches away, for good measure), and still the puerile insults roll in from the usual suspects. This infantile language of surrender, capitulation, and sell-out is making them look silly.
Moreover, it proves that the right will never be satisfied. I suspect that their cant is not related to the issues, anyway. It's more about losing their god-given right to having their snouts in the trough.

A Conservative councillor's wife who was jailed for inciting racial hatred after an online rant against migrants on the day of the Southport attacks has had her appeal against her sentence dismissed.

She’s not racist or violent she just suggested burning the hotels with asylum seekers in them.
She sounds like a horrible individual, my first reaction was sadness, it wasn’t jumping online writing something really horrible and leaving it up for 4 hours.

Once you write something online it's "up" for ever.
