to believe Rachel Reeves was crying because

Because it would seek to impose limits on immigration.

So the more immigrants France allows to cross in the boats, the more they can exchange for them? If I were France I would be collecting them from the ferry and driving them straight round to a boat back to the UK. I might even pay then for their troubles!

Are the Labour back benches rebelling against limits on immigration or because this opens the door to more?

A perfect end to Starmer's worst week in office. 😂

You told me that through your posts or were you ‘saying’ something completely different?

Okay babes you tell yourself that x

Yes there’s something particularly vile about someone enjoying children suffering, especially when they’re supposed to represent those children’s best interests. There are lots of red flags from her not just her inexplicable obvious hatred of a group of school children, when asked if she was going to resign she responded she’d worked too hard to resign. No concern for her low competence or the harm she continues to spread.

It clearly could be more transparent by listing how much benefits they receive individually.

But restless backbenchers who recently rebelled against Sir Keir’s welfare plans have threatened to revolt again over his proposed migrant deal.

None of those three Telegraph articles contain that sentence, where did it come from?

Looks like Labour’s next backbench rebellion is brewing….

Sir Keir Starmer is facing a fresh wave of dissent from Labour backbenchers over his deal with France to stop small boat crossings.

Under the “one in, one out” scheme, Britain would send migrants coming in from the Channel back to France within weeks of their arrival in return for the UK taking asylum seekers from France.

Details of the plan are expected to be set out during a state visit by Emmanuel Macron, the French president, to London this week.

But restless backbenchers who recently rebelled against Sir Keir’s welfare plans have threatened to revolt again over his proposed migrant deal.

Labour might be in Government, but they are patently not in power.

After watching her smirking in the HOC at the news of independent school closures around the country and children having to leave friends and find new schools…I couldn’t give a shit about her tears.

The top 1 pct of earners (those on £213,000-plus) contribute c. 28 pct of all income tax revenues, with the top 5 pct (£100,000-plus) accounting for 48 pct and the top 25 pct (£47,000-plus) paying 75 pct of all income tax.

All of us who fall into the above category should fight back. Mitigate, mitigate, mitigate our tax liability.

You don’t need it individually. Anyone can check out the rates and work out what an individual is getting. It couldn’t be more transparent.

No - I am talking individually.

Let’s make EVERYONE accountable.

It’s very easy to see what benefits claimants get. The rates are all available online.

I read that Labour was contemplating that everyone’s salary should be made public.

I would like to propose a variation to this - all welfare claimants benefits receipts should be made public.

I think many feel as you and pp.

How the fuck is care low skilled? We have to give meds, move people around via an array of different aids from sara stedy's to hoists with slings and constantly assess the people we support for their mental and physical wellbeing. Across a range of conditions, ages and housing. That is without the report writing, note taking, assessing if someone needs referring to OT services (through talking to them and the office who will contact their social worker).
I am constantly amazed how clueless people are when it comes to the lies people repeat about it being low skilled.
I don't want a qualification in it to make stupid people think it is a skilled profession. I have all mandatory training kept updated Also happy with my zero hour contract that still gives me a pension, holiday pay, etc. Just doesn't force me to work hours I don't want.

She thought she could hide it I guess. She's human. I'd cut a bit of slack. Not voting for Kemi after that, although removing from the human rights law is tempting.

Labour are disgusting. They have been attacking the very people they are supposed to protect, the working poor, the elderly and the disabled. Easy targets.
Reeves is supposed to be running our country and shouldn't be doing this if she cant manage her emotions. She should have stayed away from the cameras until she got herself together.

Typical Kemi Badenoch. She is just a nasty, horrible woman. Would not vote for her is she was the only person standing.

Yes I’m clearly lacking critical thinking and comprehension skills in understanding the difference between what you actually post and what you are ‘saying’ in your head. Jesus wept,

aw babes can you not apply a bit of critical thinking and not see that the lack of carers would be a long term consequence, one which I felt applied to my argument. Just because no one has mentioned it on the thread doesn’t mean I can’t say it, does it? And again, I never said carers should be paid the same as a doctor. I think you need to work on your comprehension skills.

The Labour govt are very much not doing what they were elected to do.

Ha ha, I voted for Labour not to raise taxes for working people.
