Under the Tories, our immigration system has been in chaos, with rules not enforced or respected. Today we’re announcing strong and clear steps to boost our border security with a major increase in returns capacity. The Tories wasted time and money on gimmicks, we’re getting a grip.

We don't have competent, compassionate, commonsense government. We have a cult. We commoners have the power to change this in the next General Election!

Not sure how the Tory party can look at this epic shitshow playing out in front of us and think they’re still on track to win the next election. Even with a voting system rigged in their favour, wealthy donors and v helpful Tory press, the stench of their failure is overwhelming.

Watching the #Nadal match, but glued to Twitter as well. Surely he has to go today?
"'When a regime has been in power for too long ... you can rely on the leaders of that regime to act solely in the interests of self-preservation...' Who authored that quote?" "Was it Cicero...?" "It was you, Prime Minister."
