@CarolineLucas To the contrary it’s a lack of immigration law enforcement that is causing animosity. If people had confidence that the immigrants they see had entered the country legally, had a right to be here, were contributing economically with no access to welfare, there’d be no animosity.

@AdamJSchwarz Still, it’s a better idea than what is apparently being proposed; ie ‘returning’ chagos to a country that never owned it, and paying £18bn for the privilege.

@markrwilliamson The police shouldn’t have turned up. An Apache gunship should have.

@nalex @RupertLowe10 No this isn’t about tourism. Whilst I’m quite happy for the Welsh language to be used in Wales or Gaelic in Scotland/ NI, this something completely alien and completely unacceptable.

@RupertLowe10 That’s an absolute disgrace.

@Juliest101 What shames our country is our indebtedness; engorged whilst pretending that such costs were essential obligations.

@johncosgrove405 I’d find it impossible to be anything other than rude to that hateful clown of an edsec if I ever had the misfortune to meet her

@MaxFRobespierre Excellent.

@Dan4Barnet So you’re over pricing Miliband and his many merry band of nutters.. when do you tell them? I can’t wait to see their faces

@gymslip @LoftusSteve @MatthewStadlen ‘Historically’ only in the sense we grouped them for administrative purposes.

@UKLabour You’ve taken thousands and thousands out my pocket already. I’m sure you’ll keep helping yourself too.

@digitalsunshine Some of us are capable of thinking a few steps ahead.

@darrengrimes_ Absolutely. In fact a coalition between the two would be my preference for the next government.

@SmoggyPower @reformparty_uk So I save £7kpa (20% of my tax bill) plus 20% of my corp tax, VAT can fall to 16%… but I’ve got to spend £2kpa on health insurance for my family. Deal.

@CathyMo41926708 @ElectionMapsUK But failed less severely than the new government is busy doing.

@FranchesHarper @Rod__Mason @RachelReevesMP voted remain. Brexit was a bad idea, and bad for my business. however, only 15% of trading companies are exporters- and 80pc of our economy is services. Service exports increased by 7% in 2023. Thick wee fucker aren't you.

@RachelReevesMP You can tell Rach worked in customer service at a bank; just trying to bluff and BS her way through a problem of her own making.

@BBCBreakfast @BBCPolitics He’s never had contact with reality. He’s a man who gives an impression of complete disdain for any fact challenging his world view.

@Telegraph It’s a fair comment.
