I have been forensically digging through these asylum contracts, and one stands out to me. It is absolutely staggering. Please read on. £1,593,535,200 for 'Provision of Bridging Accommodation and Travel Services’ awarded to ‘Corporate Travel Management (North) Limited’. According to the official record, they’re based in Bradford… Let’s dive into it. It’s related to the Bibby Stockholm, housing illegal migrants on a barge off the coast of Dorset. Bradford is certainly a strange place to base such an enormous contract. What is all of that money, OUR money, being spent on? All this information is taken from official documents, labelled ‘sensitive’. The illegals must be provided with a ‘varied daily menu’, taking into account all religious needs. If the illegal arrives late and missed the evening meal? They must be provided with a ‘light snack’. What about cleaning? A ‘cleaning programme’ must be delivered to the standards set by the ‘British Institute of Cleaning Science’. Routine cleaning must be provided, and their cabins are cleaned on a ‘twice weekly basis’. A ‘house-keeping laundry service’ is included, with a maximum '48-hour turn around’' Information on the local area is provided - including amenities and facilities. Illegals are assisted to make contact with a local GP surgery and dentist - they are assisted to do this. The illegals are to be taken and returned from medical appointments. A ‘programme of organised recreational activities' are provided, seven days a week. Activities available ‘morning, after, and evening each day’. Full Wi-Fi coverage is required, with a bank of mobile phones available '24/7'. Transport requests will be taken at short notice, all day every day. The transport must be ‘punctual’. ‘Adequate transport links’ must be provided to assist the illegals into the local area - and booking of transport services must be delivered for those ‘who wish to travel beyond the local area’. Warnings against ‘unconscious bias’ are made, and it’s adamant that ‘the interests of the Service Users are best served.’ It goes on and on and on. Are you happy that your tax is being spent on these services for illegals? For transport? Recreational activities? Shipping them into local communities to roam the streets? One of these illegal migrants was sentenced for sexually assaulting a teenage girl on a beach. There will be many, many, many others. 'Corporate Travel Management (North) Limited', based in Bradford, received this astronomical contract. A strange company name for such a service. What was the procurement process? How was this decided? I have put these questions to the Home Office, and I am demanding answers. The Bradford firm was told on the 24th of February 2023 that they had been awarded this £1.5 billion contract, excluding VAT (with an extension option.) Who was the Home Secretary at this time? Reform’s Suella Braverman. Who was the immigration minister at this time? Reform’s Robert Jenrick. They were the ministers, they were responsible. I want to know exactly why these outrageous contracts were signed off. It is scandalous. SO much more information on these contracts is redacted. I am going to find it... We should not be caring for these illegals, we should not be housing them, we should not be accommodating them. We should be deporting them. On an industrial scale. They are treated better than British citizens. FAR better. It makes me sick. The amount of OUR money that has been spent on these third world criminals by politicians (Reform, Conservative and Labour) is the biggest scandal of our time.

@PatrioticMuzzy "Hate". Vacuous. Meaningless.

The validation under this post is horrific and the reality is the centre left government and mainstream media paved by the way for this hate

@JacquiDeevoy1 Why is it that when crossing a large expanse of "flat" ocean, the farthest point you can see doesn't get closer? Also, why can you see further as altitude increases?

I’ve personally spoken to several pilots over the last 12 years and asked them how often they have to dip the nose of the plane to accommodate curvature as they navigate the globe earth. They’ve all given me the same answer: the nose of the plane never dips. I also asked them what kind of surface they’re flying over - do they see any curvature as they fly or is it just a flat surface? They’ve all said the same: it’s flat.

@ScotNational Moving to Scotland to "escape racism", eh? They're in for a shock.

A couple seeking to 'escape racism' in England will make a plea for a council committee to grant them permission for a house in Scotland next week #Echobox=1775646721-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenational.scot/news/26003520.…

@ScotNational "racial slur"? ffs. It's a collection of letters. No bunch of letters is any "better" or "worse" than any other. Also, to be a slur, you need to determine intent.

BREAKING: The BBC breached its editorial standards by broadcasting a racial slur by Scottish tourettes campaigner John Davidson during the Bafta film awards ceremony #Echobox=1775648622-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenational.scot/news/26003837.…

@MarkTodd_pol "essential"? In the early 90s I used to send several letters a week. Now it's very considerably less than 1 a year. Whilst it's a rip-off, it's not a big deal. Certainly not when compared with council and road tax - very expensive, nothing in return. IHT and CGT - immoral. etc

Congrats to the Lib Dems & Tories for privatising Royal Mail leading to first class stamp price rising from 60p (2013) to £1.80 today. A price rise of 200% in 13 years. Privatisation of essentials really pays for shareholders & senior managers not the public.

@BremnerJono This is the Holyrood Council election. Nothing to do with "peace".

Vote Workers party, vote Peace

@LairdSummerisle I could get 15 pints for a tenner when I was a student.

I remember when I could get 5. £10 was a night out as a student.

@ScotNational Swinney needs to mind his own business and stick to his job: bins, potholes etc.

Hi John , your video is pure propaganda while you’ve spent 18 years systematically destroying Scotland’s nuclear baseload, You forced the premature closure of Hunterston B in 2022 through your anti-nuclear dogma (using planning powers to block any future-proofing). Torness our last reliable zero-carbon power station is now doomed to shut in 2030 because of your ideological ban on new nuclear, including SMRs. Torness alone has already saved Britain £2 billion since 2021 and generated more low-carbon electricity than any other plant in the country. Result? Scotland now has zero firm baseload once Torness goes. Your “renewables + North Sea” fantasy is weather-dependent wind and solar that produce nothing when it’s calm and dark. The grid experts are crystal clear: without synchronous generators like nuclear (or gas), Scotland’s grid becomes unstable. NESO already treats Peterhead and Torness as the only things holding the Scottish system together. Lose them and we face blackouts real ones, in winter, when families need heat and light. You brag about net exports? That only happens when the wind blows hard. The rest of the time we’re importing from England or burning expensive gas backups while you slap households with the highest grid upgrade and constraint costs in Britain. This is exactly why bills are sky-high: your refusal to deliver reliable power forces the entire system to pay for your green virtue-signalling. “Scotland’s energy in Scotland’s hands”? You’ve put it in the hands of the weather and English interconnectors. Your ban isn’t “pro-renewables” it’s anti-reality, anti-jobs, and anti-security. When the lights go out, voters will remember exactly who dismantled the one power source that actually worked 24/7. Vote SNP if you want blackouts.

My five step plan to fix the welfare scam. Firstly, no access to benefits for foreigners. Full stop. Billions saved, every year. If a high skilled individual has vastly contributed for decades, they can become a British citizen through a FAR stricter application process. No benefits for anyone who arrived illegally, that goes without saying. They should all be turfed out, day one. Second, we must accept that a huge number of people are taking the piss. We absolutely must support those in genuine need, but that does not mean people can permanently live off the taxpayer due to mental health struggles. If we did this fairly, we could better support those with real need. A fair and compassionate approach. Third, a life on benefits for a healthy individual is NOT acceptable. If you can work, you must work. A few months to find a desired job is reasonable, but after that - if you want your benefit money, you will be put to work. Litter picking, street cleaning, care home work, gardening. Whatever. If it needs doing, you’re doing it. Sounds fair, right? If you refuse work, you get given it. Don’t like it? No benefit money. It’s simple. Fourth - reintroduce the two child cap. If you want more children, get a job. Hardworking parents shouldn’t have to subsidise indolence. Fifth, tax cuts. And lots of them. Raise the thresholds. Make it so that going back to work is financially rewarding. Obviously. Reward hard work, and people will do more of it. These aren’t complicated solutions. It will anger many who profit from the current system, but it needs to be said. I think it’s all just common sense, don’t you?

@krzysztofwos @goddek Why were people generally not fat in the 70s? When I was at school there was one token fat guy in every year. Now you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who wasn't fat

@goddek Well, obesity is a symptom, not a disease. At the root, it is a metabolic health disorder. So, maybe metabolic-based weight disorder? The shame comes from the false perception that it’s a lack of willpower or laziness that causes people to be obese.

What should it be called instead? 😏
