The irony of including the Statue of Liberty seems lost on her.

Wonder if you can read the inscription -
"Give me your tired, your poor, / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free..."?

The antithesis of her husband's policies.

Robert Jenrick complained of ‘not seeing another white face’ in part of Birmingham

Shadow justice secretary criticised for suggesting he could tell how integrated Handsworth was based on 90-minute visit Robert Jenrick complained about visiting an area of Birmingham where he “didn’t see another white face” and said it was not the kind of country he wanted to live in. After highlighting the lack of white people, the shadow justice secretary said it was not about “the colour of your skin or your faith” and he wanted people to live alongside each other.

Exactly! It's a simple solution. It's the only solution.
Help those in need by providing safe passage for those fleeing war and famine.
Other criteria for the economic migrants that we desperately need here.
Deal with all the decisions and paperwork where they need it.

When are we going to realise that people from foreign lands are not automatically our enemy… but the likes of Michelle Mone and her husband (and those millionaires and billionaires who are making money out of your misery and at your expense) are!

Houses are HOMES to live in. The only way the price should increase is by the same inflation as wages or if you add an extension or something.
Ok, that's too simplistic, but we must find a way to link house prices to wages. They are places to live, not investments.

It's nice to preach and thunder on from the pulpit/lectern, but so far Starmer has yet to actually *do* something concrete... and his moral language falls awfully short when it comes to dealing with a certain country committing a certain act of genocide.

FFS! Being in work and volunteering. Are people not allowed any family life?
The clue's in the name - volunteering! It's not compulsory. Otherwise it's just slave labour.

I'll never load it on my phone. Yes, I know Google know my whereabouts, shopping habits etc. But an ID app will allow the police to know everyone's location anytime. I'm never going to commit a crime, but I still don't trust any UK authority with that kind of power.

Sadly the people of the area voted them in. They knew what they were like and still voted for them.
Hopefully people feeling Reform being Reform to them personally will make them vote more positively next time.
People want local services done well. But Reform can only deliver anger about migrants.

However much it's supposedly worth, Stamer still did a deal with the devil. Whole trip is just an embarrassment to the UK.

Good to know he's exactly as I visualised him!
I normally prefer one narrator but this was different.
The voices were so natural, not like listening to a play either. Just engrossing (far more than the DB one I am now listening to).
Please get your next fictional work out ASAP!

Used this as the basis of my speech at a friend's funeral. It encompasses what I believe.
Live your one life well and then your 'spirit' lives on in others - that's a reward to strive for.
If the notions of afterlives & renouncing your sins didn't exist the world would be a much better place.

Easy answer to this - they are like dogs pissing on lampposts to indicate "my territory you're not welcome".

We need a new English flag for sporting events etc. This one will for ever be tainted by the racists.
