Here’s some examples of what I was saying at the time in 2020
First, before the first shutdown
www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-e...
I’ll be on Times Radio just after 10 tonight talking about today’s report and Johnson.
If they only ever have 30 month visas how are they supposed to:
👉🏼Get anything other than temporary jobs?
👉🏼Rent or buy property?
👉🏼Undertake education courses?
👉🏼Integrate into their communities?
👉🏼Learn English?
Think about it? Because they will still come.
Just as Labour is desperate to present a united front around the Budget? Why launch another divisive policy battle?
Which tactical genius came up with this cunning plan I wonder?

I wrote this in 2020. Thought I’d re post it today
statecraft.blog/2020/03/10/p...
My periodic offer to do (online) sessions for schools, universities or any other interested group. Free.
My main topics are around government and public admin; the evolution of cooperation; the cooperative movement. And lots more - so just ask. 😃
Engaged in politics since 1967!
Yet business schools, especially in the UK, largely ignore them.
Why?
(graphic from International Cooperative Alliance)
"Some party hack decreed that the people had lost the government's confidence
and could only regain it with redoubled effort.
If that is the case, would it not be simpler,
If the government simply dissolved the people
And elected another?"

Which being as their flagship Council KCC is the biggest sh*t show Kent ever saw shows how far out of their depth & unhinged they are❗️
What they haven’t publicly announced is their penchant for spending public £’s.. on themselves
