It's almost like the @Conservatives, and their ministers like @SuellaBraverman and @RobertJenrick deliberately stalled the whole asylum and returns system to cause a problem they could try to use to divide the country... or do they claimto just be incompetent?

Oh look labour were returning people who failed asylum proceedings in 2010 and it steadily dropped under the Tories for a decade. Oh look Labour are returning failed asylum seekers again. Competence not propaganda from Labour.

In the UK they leave the next day. I think your assumption may be correct. And yes it is outmoded.

Am I correct in thinking the two-month lag between election and assuming office is because 250 years ago it took a couple months to get to DC on a horse? If so, maybe time to retire that nonsense?

The contempt Republicans hold for the electorate. They take a kicking, and their first thought is 'how can we do the opposite of what they're telling us, before it's too late?' Disgusting - but it'll probably give them a harder kicking in 2 years and everything will get reversed

🇺🇸 WE CAN STILL PASS THE TRUMP AGENDA! - Republicans still control the HOUSE and the SENATE until noon on JANUARY 3rd - and that is 60 days of raw power almost nobody is talking about! The filibuster is NOT in the Constitution. It is a Senate RULE. A simple majority - 51 votes, or 50 plus VP JD VANCE - can change it in a single afternoon. Do that, and the SAVE AMERICA ACT and the rest of the TRUMP agenda pass with 51 votes. The House passes them. TRUMP signs them! HERES THE GOOD PART! - The Democrats can't undo any of it! Repeal needs TRUMP'S signature, and he would VETO it. Overriding a veto takes TWO-THIRDS of both chambers. Democrats won't have that. Those laws would stand until 2029 at the earliest. 🔥

Hungary did it. Serbia did it. Brazil did it. Now the USA is doing it. People are saying YES to a world WITHOUT hate and division.

MAGA is dead. Reform are dying. Restore are irrelevant. Robinson, Tate and Brand are off to jail. This age of the grifter is coming to an end. Civilisation is rebalancing.

At some point, his judgement has to be called into question. He can't get anything right and his party is riddled with sex offenders and racists. Will any mainstream journalists ask the questions?

"I don't go with the consensus that Trump is going to get smashed." Nigel Farage is joined by the Daily Wire's Michael Knowles as Americans head to the polls in the midterm elections.

This man is DANGEROUS. Here thinks the people protesting to protect women and children and more of a ‘danger’ than the migrants living in hotels that are factually and disproportionately committing more violent crimes against women and children than British people.

Reform don't do this 'protecting women and children' thing well, do they? There's a strong pattern emerging here.. What is it they say 'you accuse others of what you do yourselves'?

I’m fed up with certain politicians saying we need to “respect” the result of the 2016 Brexit referendum. A decision by a narrow majority 10yrs ago that turned out to be a disaster does not have to be respected. If a democracy cannot change its mind it ceases to be a democracy.
