Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist. Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

Tax breaks for foreign millionaires but mass deportations for the rest. Huge austerity and NHS cuts, replacing NHS with insurance model, scrapping NetZero, workersā rights and online safety act. And a trade war with the EU. Reform: Corrupt. Ruinous. Racist. Moronic.

Reform's policy is mass deportations - but they're moaning about a larger number of people leaving the country? Are they sad that they won't get to lock them up and thump them first? It's much cheaper if they leave voluntarily! (also the main factor here is the *bigger* drop in numbers *arriving*)

Looks like Mahmood and Starmer have decided cruelty wins votes. Not the votes you really want but I don't think they care. Also those votes will go to Reform anyway.
