No country responsible for what is *not* sold on its market. Countries have border forces against DIFFERENT regulated territories (as EU/NI now is to GB) not to protect against & deter legitimate trade. No border controls in GB a green light to smuggling. GB now a dumping ground.

Rishi Sunak says your GP is not qualified to determine whether you are sick or not.

This is a vile assault on the health of the British people by an unelected Prime Minister.

'It would appear the Conservative party have known about Mark Menzies for some months.. And there have been a few occasions where Rishi Sunak has refused to take action, refused to suspend the whip.. And in the case of Suella Braverman, she broke…

Here is Rishi Sunak setting back the campaign for mental health parity at least a decade.

This is un-evidenced, performative cruelty.

It's disgusting.

Pardon my French, but Sunak's line that he can't comment on Mark Menzies because of an ongoing investigation is such bullshit.

The Tories did nothing about it for 3 months, until it was revealed by Billy Kenber, they've done nothing but comment on Angela Rayner for weeks.

Again, the reasons Post-Brexit UK didn't become 'Singapore on Steroids' is that:

a) Nobody knows what the fuck that means;
b) To the extent they can sort of guess, they don't like it.

Also, absolutely no one thinks 2024 Britain is like Norway. Have she like... been to Norway?

If you were going to do a comedy musical about the last fourteen years of Conservative government, what better ending could you hope for than the prime minister giving a big speech out of nowhere, to tell everyone that they’re not really depressed?

Boris Johnson broke official rules by refusing to declare his links with a hedge fund that organised his visit to meet with the Venezuelan president, the UK's anti-corruption watchdog finds.

His punishment? Absolutely nothing

SUNAK: 'I will never dismiss or downplay the illnesses people have.'

SUNAK (53 seconds later): Rising numbers with depression and anxiety are down to an 'over-medicalising everyday challenges'. 🤔~AA

So Keir Starmer doesn’t want our young to enjoy freedoms to work/travel/study in the EU unless their parents can afford to pay for them to do so.

Unless you’re wealthy you have to stay in miserable Britain as she continues her Brexit decline.

Not good Zoë Billingham

The missing component:

- if people can’t source medication, to alleviate health issues, they can’t work.

- put simply, Brexit disrupted supply chains.

- interruption in flow of medication to UK, prevents people going to work.

It’s not sick note Britain but Brexit Britain!

Farrukh Please would somebody in the BBC QT audience please put this question to the panel:
“ Is it right that an avid Tory supporter, who exposes her clear party bias on a weekly basis, should continue to chair Question Time?”

Man with curly hair, 'When will the Conservative government accept that the Rwanda policy has failed'

Bridget Phillipson explains why the Rwanda scheme is a disaster and a waste of money. She then explains how to address this problem properly

So Sunak’s attacking those who receive sick notes. It’s almost like he’s saying GP just hand them out without real cause. So not only a jab at the people on sick notes but on the GPs who write them. FFS it’s not like anyone wants to have mental health issues. Instead on…

I honestly believe UK ministers & politicians thought we were exaggerating when we (logistics & fwding industry) warned UK would not be able to attain, handle & process same inbound EU trade from outside it, with our own separate regulated & customs territory to it. Too late now

From the government whose greatest hits include the meteoric rise in food bank use, fuel poverty, kids too cold & hungry to learn, falling life expectancy & the deliberate destruction of the NHS.

Victim blaming & pure, naked cruelty.

For shame, Rishi Sunak.

Brexit is an utter farce.
Such a staggering waste of everyone’s time and resources.
We’re paying so much for this complete pile of shite.

UK will not ‘turn on’ post-Brexit checks of EU goods for fear of border delays and driving up the price of food.
