It’s brilliant for multi millionaires who want to buy very expensive houses. They’ll save a fortune, funded by cutting public services for the least well off.

🚨Winston Churchill at the Hague Congress in 1948:

"In the centre of our movement stands the idea of a Charter of Human Rights, guarded by freedom and sustained by law".

This meeting was crucial in shaping the ECHR.

Maybe it is time to listen to those who faced down fascism.

Everything Kemi Badenoch has said (so far) is wrong with Britain was caused by 14 years of Tory Governments, many of which had Kemi Badenoch in their Cabinet.
EVERYTHING!

Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career.

Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV.

My advice always is to study what interests you and the rest will follow

That’s a bit harsh. Kemi Badenoch has spent the last year thinking deeply and carefully developing this policy. 🫤

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

I know we keep being told that we shouldn’t compare today’s politicians, like Jenrick, with Hitler, but getting rid of an impartial judiciary is what Hitler wanted. And what Hitler got.

Ed Davey @eddavey.libdems.org.uk · 2d

We have an independent judiciary in this country. Robert Jenrick wants puppet judges.

The Conservative Party once believed in the rule of law and our shared British values - no longer.
