The Supreme Court ruling implies that there is UK Law outside of the ECHR that makes the Rwanda scheme illegal, so simply dumping the ECHR won't solve the problem - Rwanda is not deemed to be a "safe" country. Rishi is thought to be working on finding a legally acceptable alternative destination.

"Minister for common sense"---she will be out of place in the Cabinet meeting room.

Ange is my son's MP.

Letters of No Confidence in Sunak have started to appear in Graham Brady's inbox.

The city-state Government of Berlin has made the slogan "From the river to the sea...." illegal.

She has become a parody and does more harm than good wherever she turns up because she becomes the story.

From the same source; "In January 2020, after months of bitter wrangling, the UK formally exited the EU, with an agreed 11-month transition period enabling both sides to negotiate a new trade deal. In the following year, 2021, goods export hit an all-time low – dropping by 40.7%, the biggest tumble since records began. Import value then grew in 2022 by 11% to just over £53 billion with a rise in imports from countries both in and outside of the EU. However, this is widely believed to be predominantly due to globally rising costs, rather than signalling economic growth. The UK’s Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) warned that the long-term impact of Brexit would be worse for the UK economy than Covid-19 – predicting it would reduce GDP by as much 4%, with the pandemic cutting it by a further 2%. It’s estimated that , in Q4 of 2022, GDP had fallen by 5.5%. The Centre for Economic Policy Research estimated that Brexit raised consumer prices, costing the average household £250 more on food alone. Meanwhile, 80% of SMEs say costs have increased since Brexit, particularly to import goods and recruit staff. Other business challenges created by Brexit include tariffs for British exports, disruption in supply chains, decrease in EU workers, and unstable confidence in the UK market. The knock on effect of these challenges on businesses has been considerable – 2022 saw a rise in insolvencies, which has continued to surge into 2023, with insolvencies reaching their highest levels since records began." “Brexit still remains a hurdle – it’s become a structural hurdle for UK exports,” said Allianz Trade’s Head of Economic Research, Ana Boata. She notes that in 2021, UK exports fell in volume at a time when most countries were enjoying a post-lockdown surge in trade."

Please note, the list is of "possible" Brexit benefits ).

Why can't I turn on our new LED strip lights without having to download a fucking app and registering my details so I can receive a verification code ?

Last month Sunak announced he was ending "'years of political status-quo"', and also cancelled the second phase of HS2. Today he appoints one of the key figures of that "status-quo", and the initiator of HS2.

The man that enabled the Brexit referendum.

Will need to be given a seat in the House of Lords as he's not an MP.

How many others have been sacked twice from being Home Secretary ?

No mention of climate change ? Are you feeling OK ? Also, the piece is specifically about trade in goods, and the concerns of businesses trying to export to the EU post Brexit. Only a minority of UK businesses deal in services, especially so in the small and medium size sectors. Could you possibly find 1 article to reference that is not from the IEA ? Constantly quoting the same item, from the same biased source, does not make it any more reliable.

Arrogant self-serving bullies ?

Nobody is suggesting the trouble was solely because of Cruella's words, but she certainly made things worse and encouraged the counter protesters, who, let's be honest, only ever turn up to cause a ruck.

How many more times are you going to post about this ?

Cruella should go due to "totting up", rather than specifically for yesterday. There is an accumulation of ineptitude and crassness which has been topped out with her comments and attitude over the policing of the protest.

It made the front page of the Times of Israel.

I don't think Israel wants to eradicate the Palestinian people and culture, unlike for example the shite that is spouted by the Russians over Ukraine, so on that basis no. I do think is is verging on the mass murder of a practically defenceless civilian population by an overwhelming military force that has no desire to see a free and independent Palestinian state on it's borders.

Those anti-semites get everywhere, with their talk of genocide; https://www.ncronline.org/news/jewish-led-demonstrations-gaza-cease-fire-see-hundreds-arrested-capitol "Among the demonstrators was Rabbi Linda Holtzman, who is based in Philadelphia and serves on the faculty of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College. In a news conference and a separate interview with Religion News Service before the protest, she said she was one of at least two dozen rabbis who had come to the Capitol to participate. She framed their participation as a matter of faith. "We are united in knowing that our Judaism calls us to stand up for justice, and to demand that our government do whatever possible to bring about a cease-fire to end the killing," she said. She also, like many speakers and demonstrators, used the term "genocide" to describe the potential impact of a land invasion of Gaza by Israeli forces. "I believe that demanding justice for all is at the heart of what it means to be Jewish," she told reporters. "When I see a genocide happening, all of those values are strong and are clear to me and demand that I speak out.""

Damned anti-semites;

Don't let SOGgy see that first picture.
