Stasis, sanctimony and the liberal paradox.

The Reform MP's racist comments were disgraceful. Her so-called apology doesn't cut it.
So I called it out in Parliament.
It is up to all of us to bravely call out racism - and we will. 👇🏾

I called Reform MP's comments racist - I was told I couldn't call her one
It seems clear that Pochin doesn't think of Black or Brown families as being representative of this country.

Wonderful to see this supportive article about me. Several pictures and the entire article is about my experience of government and the fact that I am the brains of Reform.
I celebrated with a set of private prayers after breakfast with several lucky footmen.

Yep, not rocket science
It would be cheaper and more effective to analyse where economic migrants are coming from and plough similar money into the areas where they come from to create work, stability and opportunity in those regions!
Work with the EU to do it ...a rising economic tide lifts all boats!
