Some people cannot make their own coffee or wipe their own arse. One day you may not be able to either. To be better informed on this issue I would start with the following link which looks at it from a European perspective not just a UK one. ’One reason for this increased demand is an ageing...

Yes. Business needs labour. Social care needs labour. Health care needs labour. Labour means people. From doctors to care workers to fruit pickers. None of this work is done by magic or house elves. It is done by people. Immigrants are people. And for the UK to function it needs more people...

Most developed counties want more immigration. Most developed countries need more immigration and this includes the UK. Most developed countries do not want to admit they need more immigration which is why you have absurd performative politics. Developed countries have an aging population and...

Probably explains the lack of coherent reasoning.

There will be no certainty. Firstly, Rwanda are taking a few hundred at best and charging us a fortune for doing so and sending their own refugees to us in return. Secondly, there will be court challenges which will add even more cost and delay. This policy is spectacularly dumb. It is so dumb...

Rwanda, Brexit…has there ever been a time where a Govt simply acted and passed legislation contrary to reality? Rwanda isn’t safe - our courts ruled as such, yet the Govt legislates that it is safe while taking in Rwandan refugees and paying hundreds of millions for the privilege. Brexit is an...

Does not the merits of the individuals in either case have any bearing? Or the circumstances and factors that prompt calls for resignation and/or loss of confidence? Surely, making an informed judgement is permissible?

I’m not at my sharpest on a Sunday morning...

Thought all Democrats voted yes - or is this a separate bill?

The EU wants the mobility scheme. The UK will at some point do a mobility scheme, because it has a shopping list of things it wants/needs from the EU and the price will include a mobility scheme. In other news, the Govt has again postponed the Brexit border controls because it is politically...

I wouldn’t call it a debating style. It’s targeted abuse colourfully presented.
