They scratch our back, we scratch theirs - economic investment in return, Rwanda being making strides in recent years. And it's far enough away and unappealing enough to be a deterrent to asylum seekers.

Not a good week for Rishi or Suella, the Supreme Court ruled the Rwanda plan unlawful.

There's something like 4m non-UK nationals legitimately working in the UK (I.e. paying taxes), but 1.6m non-UK nationals claiming benefits. Pros and cons either way, but obviously it's not great for anyone to have to pay extra money each year. Not sure how this compares to other countries...

I don't think the 1930s want her back.

Suella Braverman sacked (no surprise). David Cameron appointed the new foreign secretary (wtf?).

If you look closely he's the same android species as Zuckerberg. Suella Braverman gives me Oswald Moseley vibes. Although I don't always disagree with what she says. That's politics I guess.

@Scottish have you got your coronation party all sorted for today?

I don't know much about him tbh other than he's apparently a bit of a dick.

Who is everyone? I'm not scared.

That's not what the Bank of England say, in terms of rates. But there will be some form of recession.

I think it was immigrants in general. But at this point it's a bit late for that lol. If you mean fear mongering from the harder right then yeah I agree, but it's a small topic really. After all, there is barely a doctor or dentist here who is not Asian. Who do these people think will fill these...

Fear of what? It was a riskier move to break away from the EU cushion in almost every category.

Against it.

Brexit is an easy excuse or claim for any political or economic troubles the UK has had since. It's an easy equation to make. But this is simply down to poor leaders and poor choices since the Blair days. Brexit wouldn't have happened if the country was happy it was in a strong economic...

I'm not sure there is a good choice in all this, but it can only go on so long that the Tory with the biggest ambition and allies defaults the top job. Let them put someone forward to contest Starmer. But yes, it's likely we'd have to listen to Raynor's horrible voice a lot more if it went to a...
