The Mail leads with story of Welsh patients going to England for treatment. This is an agreed understanding for patients along the border. After all the NHS is funded from Whitehall and only partially controlled by Senned Cymru. I also wonder what the long term effects of the dependence of the nation on mining and heavy industry have been?

The Express is desperately trying to sell Brexit as a success story stating that 75% of firms have repatriated manufacture since Brexit. That would be 75% of the 10% still manufacturing in the UK, and probably doing so due to the bureaucracy created by Brexit.

bless their little socks – they need to support the nasty party where possible! The Torygraph has a half-hearted attack on Lady Hallett and the Covid enquiry. It also features a picture of Meagan and an anti-stress bracelet – I am sure the photo willl help her stress levels – the go to paper of the caring tory government!

Interesting that the government and RWThink Tanks are not campaigning about climate change not happening any more. But about the cost to the poor! This is so fucking disingenuous as to be untrue. The government allows the petrochemical companies and their financiers to make massive profits whilst refusing to subsidise green energy and sustainability. How dare they use poor people to justify their blatant disregard for the planet.

The current arguments that that they should be pleased to have a roof over their heads whilst thousands sleep on the streets of the UK is plain wrong. Homeless on the streets is due to government policy. The fact that the government takes so long to process asylum seekers is their policy, as is the denial of their right to work. Surely there are many employers who would happily register for these workers. processing those with legitimate claims should not be taking months. But it is a government policy to keep them in the news as they perceive it as a vote winner. They talk about costs but do not care about that as long as they can claim the votes of the bigoted.

MP’s have not signed up to a second/third jobs charter despite the total amount being earned is nearly £10 million (nearly half by Johnson). Attendance rates are low for some – non-existent for others (Dorries and the Dorset QC bloke? ). Attendance at the local surgeries should be compulsory with normal employment rules. They are rewarded with good remuneration and enhanced career prospects if that is what they desire.

I will not apologise for my reference to the Holocaust here. What the Government are doing in mind washing swaths of the British Public into believing that it is justifiable and correct to incarcerate innocent people fleeing from terror in a prison ship or even sending them to Ascension Island. This is what the Nazi’s did to the German Public – they convinced them that Jews were evil. Whilst the scale and scope of the Nazi death machine was much worse, the ethics and methods seem very similar. And the British Public watched – with many applauding. This is horrific. If it was the criminal gangs behind the migrants it would still be hard to justify. Can I ask the question – how many of these gang leaders have they caught, which banks service their loot?

Itvalso seems that Starmer is being coerced into a situation where he will find it very difficult to extricate himself from – the economy is being shredded, contracts drawn up. If he had guts he would state publicly that the new government will not find new contracts to be legally binding in certain circumstances like prison barges, Rwanda, Ascension Island, the HoL, etc.
