Good grief. Is it more embarrassing to be one of those asleep or to be Coffey sending everyone asleep?

I’m very distracted by the young guy at the front of that clip who appeared to pick something off the back of his neck and nibble it Shock

Stella braverman was awful. Really nasty I thought in her comments about migration and the 'unexplained drive for multiculturalism'
It's a dogwhistle for racists imo

Oh it's no secret she's forgotton her family are immigrants.

Lonelycrab · 04/10/2022 19:24

unexplained drive for multiculturalism

Did she actually say that? Bloody hell.

AdamRyan · 04/10/2022 19:39

Some key quotes from the BBC report:

She says that many on the Left want to defund the police, but she "will always back our policemen and women".

Braverman also calls for forces to "get back to common sense policing," and tackle the issues important to the public rather than "policing pronouns on Twitter".

Braverman says it is wrong for the police force to take the knee in protests, or take part in any politically motivated protests. Braverman says it distracts public servants from doing their job, like policing and making arrests.

"It is not bigoted to say we have too many asylum seekers who are abusing the system. is not xenophobic to say mass and rapid immigration places pressure on housing, public services and community relations."

Praising Britain as the "best place on Earth to come and live", Suella Braverman tells the Tory conference she's concerned people may have lost sight of the "core values and the culture that made it so". "The unexamined drive towards multiculturalism as an end in itself, combined with the corrosive aspects of identity politics, has led us astray," she claims. This statement receives loud applause.

Those who enter illegally will be "swiftly" returned to their home country or relocated to Rwanda, she warns. "The Labour Party will try to stop us," Braverman says. "The Lib Dem will go bananas and The Guardian will have a meltdown. Don't get me started on the lawyers."

Quite, quite mad

DuncinToffee · 04/10/2022 20:12

Even students aren't safe from her

Suella Braverman says she wants to reduce the number of foreign students coming to the UK to study "substandard courses”.

She tells @christopherhope: "Poor universities are being bankrolled by foreign students and I would really like to see that number come down."

How is she proposing for those units to be bankrolled then?

Notonthestairs · 04/10/2022 20:21

They won't be. Because obviously foreign students only come here to study Harry Potter, never science, medicine, architecture etc.

DuncinToffee · 04/10/2022 20:28

science, medicine, architecture

They were all studied at Hogwarts

Mourdant is a good MP despite some of her morals. She's done a lot of good for Portsmouth. She's especially good at childcare and benefits because if the area she serves.

Really?

So disturbing how they start their anti-immigratiom rants with a story about how their parents were immigrants. 🤬

It's back to the deserving and undeserving, disguised as genuine and illegal.

Fascism

I wonder whether a lot of people will stay away from the Truss speech tomorrow citing train strikes?

Apparently they were doing ring rounds to check on who was staying. Train strikes will serve as an excellent excuse not stay though! (It's not like they could opt to stay overnight and travel back Thursday!)

Blossomtoes · 04/10/2022 21:52

So, can we get this straight? They want low taxes to encourage people to come here from abroad to invest in the country but they don’t want foreign students’ money? Do these stupid, stupid people actually talk to each other? Do they actually have any policies?
