Agree there is a lot of truth there. Quite a contrast to what Braverman has been saying re: she wouldn't define herself as English.

Andrew Marr and others saying they thought Burnham handled Trump.well. I can't bear to watch or listen to the orange bastard, so will take their word for it!

I can't agree with Sunak on Rwanda; recent events make it clear that this was a policy that was absolutely not needed. But he's correct on race.

From the Guardian, about Chagos

In the short press conference with Burnham, Trump said:

I don’t support it. I think it’s a terrible deal.
They all of a sudden say they have ownership, somebody has ownership that never showed up before after decades and centuries. I think it’s ridiculous. No, we were talking about that.
It’s strategically very important, very important. You know, we had to send our B-2 bombers when we bombed the Iran nuclear, we sent the B-2 bombers back home to Missouri. As opposed to flying for a short period of time, they had to fly for a long period of time.
It’s amazing how strategic it is, and I think the prime minister is going to be looking at it. It’s very strategic location. And it’s unique
It’s a very important piece of real estate, militarily and strategically.

Andy Burnham responded with a simple: “Mmm, yup.”

Sunak knew Rwanda wouldn't work

You can turn the sound of before watching these clips,it comes with subtitles.

The comments are the best part.

Is that the 11th Commandment: thou shalt slash inflatable boats and hope the occupants drown.

Some Christian, huh?

That’s the really irritating thing it was showboating nothing more & literally millions of pounds spaffed up the wall which I believe has never been recovered.
Rest of his statement can’t argue with, be good if some of the Tory voters who are straying into the reform orbit checked themselves a bit plus if the sainted Kemi also didn’t spout bloody nonsense & helping stoke the fires.
#cunting scumbag No.2 Tommo disgusting creature.

He's causing trouble in Gosport. Stupid fascist bastard should be arrested .

Live updates here. He really is a 🤬. Someone will end up getting killed because of him.

Lowe Life strikes again 🙄

He should be arrested as well & reprimanded for conduct whilst being a public servant horrible venal self serving racist bastard.

Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics.

A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.

cont.

I just saw the full video. The man is absolutely off his head with rage, trying to stab at the dinghy. I don't think he did too much damage thankfully.

Surely it is an arrestable offence?

Fucking hell, from the Hampshire live blog, a child

Hundreds of people are out in Gosport facing a police line.

Crowds of masked protesters are now confronting a police line to chants of “let them drown” sung by a child over a megaphone.

How utterly vile. That group of people just stink. And what parenting! 😳

Jesus. I despair. I really don’t know how we come back from this as a country.

Don't know what to say tbh. Just unbelievable. What chance has that poor kid got? Or any of the kids that are there?

Same how the fuck did we sink this low it’s sickening & frightening such awful behaviours how can anyone be so lacking in basic decency utterly shameful.

Words fail me. How on earth did we come to this?

The dreadful irony of these so called protectors of women & children willing to actually trying to kill & harm is truly horrific how can anyone harbour such hate.

I read this guy's comments on the voice of Barry Shitpeas

"Toby, a Just Eat delivery driver, told the Daily Echo he was worried he would lose his job after the police barricade blocked his route.
He has now joined in with the protests."

Unfortunately, I bet his parents are proud of him.

Truly appalling - not sure what else to say

I can’t bear to listen to Trump’s voice, I always turn the sound down whilst he’s speaking, and listen to the commentary afterwards.
