Farage may have thought "Yeah, they fell for it". But Johnson, Rees-Smug and Gove were probably thinking "Oh shit, what the fuck do we do now."

And they still are….

I see what you did there ..... gave the impression that Tories could actually have any humanity .... brilliant. Totally false but brilliant!

The fact that the Raab can clearly and see what is going on, just shows how much of a **** he really is.

In PMQ's today, a Tory backbencher said he was proud that this country had lead the way in punitive action against Putin and his cronies. However, Private Eye started highlighting this 9 years ago. It's just unfortunate that the government at that time sat on their hands. Thank goodness it wasn't the Tories.

Oh - wait a minute,

Keith keeps asking BoJo about why we're not doing more and faster on sanctions and all de Pfeffel does is just reiterate what we're already doing ( which is less than other countries although we are world leading in doing less).

They keep banging on about 100k/200k refugees. What a load of lies. First of all these are only allowed in if they are already related to people living here, secondly how many Ukrainian people have that many relatives living in Ukraine who want to come here? Nowhere near the 200k they keep on about. What about the people who have no relatives over here? I assume it is the humanitarian’f..k you’ we don’t want your sort unless you can pick fruit.

23,414 in 2015 according to Wikipedia. Citation provided on there.

10 family members so between 4-10 family members per Ukrainian national already resident.

Anybody think that is a bit far fetched? :)

for what reason? what is the quid pro quo? will the money be returned or better still given to charity?

Ukraine crisis: Russian Tory donor married to ex-Kremlin deputy minister recently gave Conservatives £80,000

The Conservative Party has faced calls to hand over Lubov Chernukhin's donations - about £2m since 2012 - to Ukrainian humanitarian causes.

John Crace nails it again. "'The British government is the first government to outline practical measures for bringing Ukrainian refugees to the UK,' Patel said. To everyone’s surprise. It would be a turn up if the Poles had determined UK refugee policy. Though they couldn’t do any worse. It turned out that what Vacant had meant to say was that the UK had been the first to come up with a refugee policy. Which was just delusional."

In my area we have a charity that provides beds / mattresses and bedding for children. Schoolteachers alert them if they find a mention of kids sleeping on the floor .

Welcome to Tory Britain.
