With a majority of 1200 his focus would be spent better elsewhere

Talking of spending, £40K of tax payers money, on taking the case to the High Court, and now the Supreme Court despite a judge saying the word 'scum' is not that offensive!
Now you see why Raab gave all the lawyers that big pay rise...

The retirement age will have to rise to 71 for middle-aged workers across the UK, according to research into the impact of growing life expectancy and falling birthrates on the state pension.
The UK pension age of 66 is set to rise to 67 between May 2026 and March 2028. From 2044, it is expected to rise to 68.

Particularly grim when you take into account who is living longer. No retirement incoming for plenty of working people.
Maybe pensions should become means tested?
Life expectancy and healthy life expectancy at birth by deprivation
Life expectancy and healthy life expectancy at birth are lowest for people living in more deprived areas. The largest gap between people living in the most and least deprived areas is Scotland.

A refugee charity has just got itself a bag of sand from Piers there. Sunak can quite easily 'get the people on the plane'. Doesn't mean they are actually going to take off, or even get to Rwanda.
Berks, the pair of them.

Good grief.
What a f***ing plum. I don't particularly like Piers Morgan but Sunak is the Prime Minister for crying out loud. Have some decorum you muppet.

The depressing thing about this, is that after 14 years in governement, this bitter, malicious, hateful and completely effing USELESS policy is the peg on which the Tories will hang their general election hopes. After a decade of punishing austerity, 8 years of Brexit farce all we are left with is lets be horrible to foreigners as everything their fault.
Pathetic does not even begin to cover it. Utter joke.
A quick reminder that this is two rich, powerful men literally gambling over real people’s lives.
Actual real, sentient people with thoughts, feelings and dreams.
And these two see them as just a game. f***ing dystopian.
