We always knew that Labour cares about little else other than keeping private developers happy.

But here's proof showing off to JP Morgan despite destruction of some of the "rarest creatures in our country."

The only good thing Brexit did was to destroy the Tories - and it’s now dragging #Labour into the political abyss. Ah shame!

My secret evil plot to ‘destroy Britain’ has been unveiled by (checks notes) the same paper that endorsed Liz Truss.

The headline should read: Since 2020, Brits could be banned from the EU due to Brexit removing our status, freedoms, and opportunities as European citizens. Now it will be harder to cheat the 90/180 rule.

Also another example of the UK tabloids hating it when the EU takes 'control' of its borders

Brits could be banned from holiday homes under EU's 90-day rule

The EU has ordered member states to apply the 90/180-day rule 'rigidly', meaning Brits who overstay could be hit with hefty fines of up to £8,700 and even ten-year bans from entering the bloc.

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

Jenrick could have visited Handsworth to listen to residents – he chose to pass through and make a judgement based on the colour of their skin. Instead of getting to know our nation of neighbours, he chose racism.

The Tories, Reform and Labour want to divide us.

The Greens say enough is enough.

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.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester
