I never would have believed there were so many ignorant, gaslit or just plain nasty people in this country! Only an absolute fool would want to come out of the ECHR! These Tories don't care anymore - they are just on a looting spree now. Decent people must stand together.

@GyllKing When a King's Counsel finds himself an apologist for a thug, it's time to reflect and draw some conclusions about himself. He is earning the lasting contempt of many in his former profession.

This is Alex Chalk, MP for Cheltenham and Secretary of State for Justice & Lord Chancellor. He went to the same school as Sunak. Today he is 47 & has made his first impact on the national conscience as the minister who defended 30p Lee's NF style racism as 'salty language'.

@Haggis_UK RJ "They have to look after themselves...and we Conservatives ban them from working...so they can't look after themselves...haha..ha...har!!!"

Rachel Burden - What happens to people who refuse to board the barge? Robert Jenrick - "If they don't change their mind, then we withdraw their accommodation & support" RB - What happens to them then? RJ - "They have to look after themselves... " #BBCBreakfast

I know @GaryLineker and the rest of us with basic knowledge of history aren’t allowed to say the tone of a Home Secretary calling for actual lawyers to be jailed is exactly like the tone of 1930s Germany; but it’s exactly like the tone, and indeed the reality, of 1930s Germany.

Shame on you @AlexChalkChelt you’re Lord Chancellor, Kings Counsel & you haven’t got the decency & courage to condemn your deputy party Chair who’s told asylum seekers to “f off to France” Weasel words on #Today @bbcnickrobinson

Sad to hear the BBC chiming in with this putrid Government in defaming solicitors firms for 'inventing claims of mistreatment' & citing the Solicitors Regulation Authority in support, implying there have been successful SRA misconduct tribunal decisions. Cite them then @BBCNews

Get to Know the Bibby Stockholm... - 500+ single adult men crammed onto a barge with a capacity of 222 in normal use (e.g. as accommodation for oil workers) Single rooms: - 2 strangers, sharing an austere metal bunk bed - TV (as mocking and useless as a paperweight: they've been deliberately detuned so they won't pick up anything, to "encourage socialising" apparently) - 1 chair, 1 desk, 1 wardrobe - A window (it's supposed to be able to open; this is touted as a major plus by the barge's owners) - Shower and toilet Slightly larger rooms: - 4 strangers, in 2 bunk beds Communal areas: (Most of the larger ones have been repurposed into dormitories. The thin list below is pretty much all that's left.) - Narrow corridors - TV room with sofas, seating up to 12 people max - Tiny gym - Classroom with seating for perhaps 20, some sort of laptops, and "wifi access" - Bar (off-limits to asylum seekers, and reserved as a "staff lounge") - Multi-faith prayer room - Games room with a pool table and a few chairs - "Outdoor" space surrounded on all four sides by massive walls made up of the 3-storeys of cabins, so you can't see anything other than sky - Canteen dining area (not nearly big enough for 500 people) Other facilities: - Basic meals 3x a day (but note that the canteen seems far too small to seat everyone at once, so presumably there will be shifts coming and going all the time) - Laundry service - On-site nurse 5 days a week - Access to GP if referred by the nurse Beyond the ship: - Airport-style security (metal detectors etc.) - 24/7 guards conducting "robust security checks" - 15ft high fence all around - No pedestrian access to the port or the wider area - Only way to get to Weymouth and beyond is on the occasional shuttle buses - Have to sign register every time they leave The asylum seekers on board are likely to be there between six months and a year or more. They can't work. They will be fed and their clothes washed, but they will have just over a pound a day for absolutely everything else they need. They are expected to spend the overwhelming majority of their time on the barge, where as we've seen there are leisure and learning facilities for maybe 1/10th of people if we're being extremely generous with how we estimate it. It is truly, truly disgusting.

The Tories are that shite, they have to pretend to be another party to try and get votes 🙄 #TorySewageParty #NeverTrustATory #NeverVoteConservative

@stand_for_all Same on r3. 7.30am bulletin carried 3 stories. Top story: the barge, Second story, tripling (!) of fines on employers of 'illegals', Third - vaccine X. The experience of lving under English Nationalism is being subjected daily to a barrage of Government propaganda.

Droppings from the Tory table. 'Veterans Rail Card' 'Only £30 a year to you, Mon Vieux, for your loyalty & service, payable to our ticketing & franchise partner trainline. Love 'n Stuff Ben Wallace Minister ('Sir' to you - and yeah, Mogg, he's 'Sir' too').' Skinflint b@stards.

'Rules will be relaxed around the tendering of contracts' to 'cut NHS waiting lists'. Christ. Here we go again. Round 2 of corrupt bunfight for government contracts to mates, donors and cronies by secret 'VIP referral' channels. PPE scandal all over again.

@IanDunt Now piped to every cell in my care-home. I've GOT my stairlift already. I've GOT my funeralcare plan sorted. Nurse! Please! Switch it back over to Planet Rock!

The missus has started putting on Classical FM in the daytime and, god help me, I like it.

@mrjamesob Such think tanks will disregard any amount of "urging". Codes of Practice not backed up by legislation & power of enforcement are pointless (see also, Ministerial Code of P). Next Government must legislate to compel full funding disclosure, & give the Courts the teeth to enforce

The more you find out about these outfits, still all over the UK media without ever being asked about their funding, the more the madness of the last few years makes sense. Chapter 4 of ‘How They Broke Britain’. Out November 2. Link in my bio. theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

Prime Minister Sunak 's trip to Disneyland is not a holiday, but a Policy Workshop lead by Mickey Mouse to formulate policies for the Conservative election manifesto. He's left Goofy in charge of the nuclear codes. #EnglishNationalistsOut

@Frenchadventur1 They could have their party conference in it. Tow it about with an aircraft carrier. From Brighton. To Eastbourne. To Blackpool. All their favourite towns in one nice cruise.

@Haggis_UK 'Fellow Britons, i am speaking to you today from another room paid for by The Heritage Foundation. It is my solemn duty to inform you that the trouser press has malfunctioned...'

Rishi Sunak tells Nick Ferrari that he's going in holiday this afternoon & "the country will be left in the capable hands of Oliver Dowden." 👀 #LBC

@Haggis_UK "Oliver Dowden? .. you left Oliver Dowden in charge..! "

@madgie1941 In his revised planning application, Johnson will have to state how many newts he owns. This makes Johnson a newt-counter. 👇 Ha! Prime Minister to newt-counter in under a year. Karma. (Newts everywhere, we love you).

This is who has stopped Johnson in his tracks. He wants to build an outdoor swimmingpool for his grounds. But he cant. Because great crested newts live in the grounds Disturbing them can attract a prison sentence. Who'd've thought it! Brought down by a newt.

Hoping Aberdeen delivered a punnet of ripe scottish raspberries to Unelected Prime English Nationalist Performative Greenwasher Sunak today. "S'ok laddie next time do it by video-conference".
