Coverage of the refugee proposals demonstrates why we have such a broken political system. Endless focus on left-wing anger and right-wing support. Basically nothing on whether the reforms will work. They will not, which is why we'll still be here having the same debate in three years.

anyone got any experience/made something with the UK parliament API?
I'm thinking about making a page that shows how Labour MPs vote for this latest far-right shite from the home secretary.
Ideally I render each MP's interests/dontations too.
Time to shine a big light on these grifters.

No sympathy with THEM, no sympathy AT ALL. Even if asylum seekers were to cost UK more than 1% of total plunder (tax havens, tax avoidance schemes, embezzlements, lucrative bonuses…), doesn’t Farage & Co’s lack of sympathy for people who risk all to get to safety, make you realise you’ll be next?

Is it just people who have an arts background and move into politics that are considered to have failed? Or is it applied equally to all politicians - failed lawyers, failed investment bankers, failed landlords etc.
The right wing approach now is to put me in a box with an incredibly successful politician who just won a stunning victory.
