    Sunak uses this line quite often whilst overlooking over 100k of "illegal immigrants" entered the country last year and a further 750k were waved in with visas. They don't care, infact it's only an issue for them now because they are losing votes to Reform.

    Everyone in the UK is paying more in light and heat costs since power companies were given the green light to raise costs since 1st January meanwhile Sunak hands out £2.5bn to Ukraine and sees Tata steel announce closure 4 months after handing them £1bn. It's amazing how some people can't be helped but Sunak has billions to throw at others.

    Also need to factor in the billions to be paid out following the Post Office and blood transfusion scandals.

    For the poor it's austerity. For the rich it's just another day at the office. All the rising costs and the billions given away by Sunak have made the likes of him and his cronies even richer than they were before.

    £2.5bn is a bargain if it helps keeps the Russians at bay, Wales Tata plant losing a million pounds a day, steel will be produced in India then exported to us mugs that are hell bent on net zero, we only have ourselves to blame for following this stupid inane ideology....

    Which 95% of climate scientists support. But, of course, the swivel-eyed loony conspiracy theorists on the right that you support know best. There’s only one person in this argument who doesn’t have a clue, and it’s not me.

    Latest rumour doing the rounds Sunak trying to legislate that asylum seekers/economic migrants/illegal migrants can work whilst they're awaiting they asylum claim being processed, we should be fine for our fruit and vegetables getting harvested this summer.

    So they can come here and earn money whilst giving free lodgings and food. I'm guessing Sunak doesn't understand what a deterrent is.

    Right wingers, don’t yer just love how they always deflect with a smartarse comment when they don’t have any logical arguments.

    NB I’m not a socialist. I’m a social democrat. Try doing some reading to understand the difference.

    I'm not sure what would be involved with trying to change the law with regards them jot being allowed to work until their asylum claim is granted, but I don't trust Labour with regards the asylum situation

    Imagine referring to yourself as a democrat but totally dismissing someone else’s views or beliefs as “loony” and “right wingers”. I’d put my money on you being a vegan and supporting those just stop oil retards?

    Would you indeed? Just as well you didn’t actually bet because you’d have lost your money then. I eat meat. I was in the Shimla Spice last Friday tucking into a Lamb & Spinach Karahi. Very nice it was too.

    Like all sensible people, I believe we need to massively reduce fossil fuel use. But do I believe that gluing yourself to a goal post is the way to convince people of that? No, I do not.
    But imagine totally dismissing other people’s views by describing them as ‘retards’. Hmm, is it only those on the right who are not allowed to be called derogatory names? Looks like you’ve had a bit of any irony bypass there, eh? Oops a daisy.

    There are right wingers, and then there are the loopy extremist ones, currently taking over the Tory Party, who think that everyone is as extremist as they are, They stupidly believe that the way to win favour and votes is to drag the party ever more extremely to the right. So they focus on divisive culture wars, attacking ‘wokeness’ and demonising immigrants, when all the evidence is that what the public are going to vote on is the way their personal finances have declined so badly, and the parlous state of the NHS and public services. These extremists are the exact right wing equivalent of the loony lefties who believe that the reason Labour loses elections is because they aren’t left wing enough.

    Is that clear enough for you?

    Looks like Sunak's warped rant at the Lords last week has bit him in the arse.

    No doubt votes were cast tonight to stick 2 fingers up at him for basically telling them to wave it through unchecked.

    Now we will find ourselves in a position where an unelected PM is blaming an unelected chamber of blocking the will off the people whilst he sits 27 points behind in the polls.

    Will of the people indeed.

    Ah, I see you've been listening to Uncle Kier, he's come up with exactly the same today....more puddled thinking....
    Oh, and by the way, there are no right wing tories or right wing policies anywhere near the current weak livered government ...

    Why are you assuming i'm "on the right"? I was merely observing what one poster had said to the other. Can't see where i've ever disclosed what side of the fence (if any) that I sit on
