#PMQs @andyburnham repeatedly stated repeatedly "higher migration" he may have forgotten, this started under @uklabour and when they were kicked out of office in 2010, apologised for the numbers saying "we didn't know how many would come". The Dubs agreement never worked, and the figures prove that, boat crossings started Jan 2018 and dlbe YoY, which @nigel_farage warned would happen, and MPs attacked him over. As for long-stay migration, Labour demanded unfettered access for Hong Kongers, Ukrainians & Afghans, part of that BorisWave.. #PoliticsLive

#PMQs @andyburnham states about the low growth 2017 onwards in the UK, I'd go further and say that this started from September 2016 onwards, when the europhile @uklabour party, as well as @libdems & yes some @conservatives (**cough) who with the Labour Rat Bercow, did everything in their power with the @UKHouseofLords to block, overturn the eu ref being delivered, as well as the Surrender Act, that caused economic damage to the UK and uncertainity for businesses. #PoliticsLive

Hey lefties, do you remember when @Keir_Starmer spaffed £700m of UK taxpayers money on day one in office by cancelling the Rwanda deterrent? Well, you will never guess who could be using them you mugs.. @UKLabour @andyburnham @JohnHealey_MP one of you tell that idiot Angela Rayner..

Five EU countries are planning to set up a deportation hub in Rwanda, reviving the UK's failed plans. We traced possible locations on the ground, and found they could use centres funded by Britain: ft.com/content/52b656d0-fa0e… @HenryJFoy @BMoens @Elbarbie @WWFTUK

EU countries may use UK-built migrant centres in Rwanda

Five nations plan to deport failed asylum seekers to Kigali, potentially using British facilities from abandoned 2022 scheme

It's worth remembering that stealth taxes will still be at the heart of this Budget They represent the biggest tax rise in history Income tax thresholds have been frozen now since 2021 and are due to remain frozen until April 2031 The cumulative freezes of freezing thresholds and allowances is expected to raise ***£67billion*** by 2030/31 The higher rate - which was once the preserve of the rich - is now the norm for millions of people By 2030/31 5.2million people will have been brought into paying income tax, there will be 4.8million more higher rate taxpayers and 600,000 more additional rate taxpayers A ***quarter*** of taxpayers will be higher rate or additional rate taxpayers We've reached the stage where this huge tax raid is almost priced in every year, but it is far more significant than any other tax-raising measure on the scorecard Paul Johnson, a former head of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, said: "We are talking many, many billions of pounds of tax rises over the decade. People who would 20 years ago have never imagined they would be higher-rate taxpayers are now higher-rate taxpayers."

I want services to get more attention in Britain’s EU negotiations. UK services exports grew 79.8% from 2014 to 2025; the EU27’s grew 86.3%. Our latest report looks at the gap and what the government should do. Read it through @britinfluence.

That immigration is responsible for everything that ails the UK.

Sangria Sue, today is budget day. How will this British budget impact you with all the new taxes being announced... in Spain?
Sue Wilson@Suewilson917h
Don't know if you've noticed but Starmer is not PM anymore. Rejoining the EU is coming & with public support. Better get used to the idea.
27
It will come as no surprise to your constituents that you were part of the europhile cabal in the @HouseofCommons who attempted to block, overturn the eu referendum result being delivered during the negotiation stage, and also helped deliver the Surrender Act, which all these actions caused "economic damage" to the UK from September 2016 - Dec 2019.
Jo Stevens
@JoStevensLabour22h
My view won’t come as a surprise to my constituents. I feel as strongly about UK membership of the EU in 2026 as I did in 2016 when I resigned from the Shadow Cabinet to vote against the triggering of Article 50 because there was no plan.
26
Sangria Sue, knows what the ongoing @andyburnham & @uklabour discussions are right now with the eu are, and what the 27 members of the eu will agree to!! Yet we know what the Czechian PM thinks, as he has told us..
Sue Wilson@Suewilson9123h
The Euro must not be used as a barrier against joining the EU. It is not an obstacles. Don't believe otherwise.

Every eu member is a supplicant to the eu. The eu holds supranational powers over them via the conferal of competences & the charlatan & liar @andyburnham wants to return the UK to this &:handover £bn's to them. @uklabour are not fit to govern the UK..
Peter Wilding
@eurorealistOct 27
Simon's right. Literally every European state is more devolved and decentralised that Britain.
24
The conferal of competences was one of the biggest mistakes sovereign nations made under Maastricht. It gave the eu supranational powers over their members. Only a fool would think that this was a good idea..
Simon Nixon
@Simon_NixonOct 27
What a silly argument. Federal states like Germany and Spain have far greater degrees of devolution inside the EU than highly centralised Britain does outside
21
Those bringing down of so-called barriers, would also lead to a loss of sovereignty & paying £bn's back into the eu. Lefties may want to surrender the UK to a 3rd rate organisation, millions of us don't..
Simon Nixon
@Simon_NixonOct 27
Disappointing to hear Andy Haldane talking such nonsense. The 2016 Brexit referendum created a cloud of uncertainty because it led to trade barriers going up. Rejoining the EU would bring trade barriers down.

🇬🇧🇪🇺 We are reversing Brexit. The UK and EU are working on British access to “Made in Europe”. Ahead of the November summit, the UK will be offered a special EU deal. An interim deal should pave the way for future UK membership. We have never been closer to a stronger UK–EU union since Brexit We are only a few years away from reversing the disaster of Brexit.

"UK announces further tariff suspensions on food, drink and fuel" Not a big deal in the wider scheme of things but also, of course, not possible if the UK were still in the EU, or even just a customs union... 👇 gov.uk/government/news/every…

Remember @Keir_Starmer when he became PM with his @UKLabour rabble as the govt. Day 1: "Rwanda is a gimmick" I'm scrapping it", blowing £700m of UK taxpayers money. The eu today gives @Frontex authority to remove illegals to 3rd nation hubs. I guess @andyburnham will blame Brexit for the lack of a deterrent that Starmer & Labour scrapped. While the growler, Angela Rayner will say "This is unBritish, WE NEED TO REJOIN THE EU".. Labour have NEVER been fit to govern the UK, and the UK has another charlatan & liar who is now PM.
Ursula von der Leyen
@vonderleyenOct 27
Europe will always stand up for the protection of its borders. This is why today we propose to strengthen Frontex. So it can support Member States whenever and wherever needed. Including on returns, with the mandate and capabilities that this new reality demands. link.europa.eu/kyDnMR

Corbett is like a scratched old record. Every ill that has impacted the UK is because of Brexit, the act of leaving the eu. * Sept 2016 - 19, europhile MPs & Peers, trying to block, overturn & the surrender act, that caused economic damage to the UK. * Mar 2020 - 22, Covid era, MPs supporting closing down the vast majority of the UKs economy & borrowing large sums of money, even when warned of the economic damage it would cause * Feb 2022 - 2024, Ukraine War, which sent global commodity prices higher & inflation * Jul 2024 to date, @uklabour two terrible budgets and increased regulation ** 1997 to date, Migration, legal/illegal, from Blair/Brown era & labour apologising over the legal migration numbers, illegals in the back of HGVs & overstayers, to the coalition govt, who had the same issues, 2016 - 2020 the failed Dubs Agreement, Johnson and allowing Hong Kongers, Ukrainians & Afghans into the UK, which Labour demanded unfettered access, Starmer, scrapping Rwanda & spaffing £700m of taxpayers money (weirdly the eu is now pursuing 3rd nation hubs), and refusing to leave the ECHR, to stop lefty-lawyers blocking the removals of illegals & foreign criminals.. All Brexit's fault.. 🙄🤦‍♂️
Richard Corbett@RichardGCorbettOct 27
#bbcbreakfast Brexit has not been “reopened because of Andy Burnham”, but because: - it’s turned out to be a costly mistake - geopolitics shows we can’t rely on the US, but need to work with our neighbours with whom we share common interests - the public has turned against it
