Does Farage know anyone who isn't a criminal although, strictly speaking, he hasn't been convicted yet but he's pleaded guilty and is looking at a long stretch.

Jenrick has now deleted a voice recording of Immigration Minister Jo White in which she is heard to say "I don't care if we stop the boats". What she actually said was "I don't care who will stop the boats but my number one priority is to stop those boats". He shouldn't be allowed out on his own.

The Burnham Years - Can the new(ish) broom sweep clean?

Rubbish. A lot of IT jobs can be done from home. It's not difficult to monitor what someone is doing and it can be advantageous for parents who may have to pop out to pick up the kids and make the time up later (or earlier). -
The first pumped hot shower was patented in 1810 but the Romans and Greeks had gravity-fed showers around 500BC.

Watneys also did Starlight which was rumoured to be so weak that if could be classified as a soft drink. The Sunday Mirror reported that it could have been legally sold in US during prohibition.

Who remembers 3rd place?

My grandson was due to play in a tournament at Stoneham FC tomorrow. Just been informed that it's been cancelled due to water supply problems in Stoneham Lane, so no toilets etc. Don't know if this will affect the Saints game in the evening.

My Gran thought that Anthony Eden was a very handsome gentleman. -
It's a daunting thought that, by the time that the next World Cup comes around, nobody under 70ish will have actually seen our one win.

Where do you get £300 per week from?
-
Those 12000 are in the queue for asylum and so are not allowed to work and cannot claim benefits.. The only benefits they receive are about £40 per week if their accomodation does not provide food or £9.00 per week if food is provided.

Ironically, when we got back the ability to "control our borders" that the Brexiteers were always going on about, 2023 gave us the highest immigration figures at nearly 1.5m with a net figure of 950k. Getting that net figure down to 170k in 2 years is pretty good going.

The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?

Count Binface had the right idea: "I'll cut your taxes and raise everyone else's" -
I worked for an Italian-owned company for many years and one of the common characteristics of the many that I met was politeness. Always greeted with a handshake and, even if you disagreed on something, it was never antagonistic. The one negative was that they often told you what they thought you wanted to hear.

Would he be electrifying or more of a solid mechanical type who wouldn' go off the rails?

It's a bit rich that he claims that the wasn't involved in politics when he accepted the donation. Reform UK was a private company owned by Farage. You can't get much more politically involved than owning your own party. He also said that he was the most physically attacked politician in the UK (one milk shake thrown at him). Tell that to the relatives of Jo Cox and David Amess.

Starmer: New rights for tenants Increased protection for employees Falling NHS waiting lists Large reduction in legal immigration Kept us out of Trump's wars. Truss: Crashed the markets Caused the pound to drop to a 37-year low Killed the Queen (this has not been proven)
