The government have briefed to the Sun they’ve deported their migrant to Rwanda tonight, but if you scratch beneath the surface the story is they’ve given him £3k and paid for his flight.

This guy could literally get a cheap flight back to the UK
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And get paid £3k to leave again!! This is some desperate attempt to get votes for Thursday, how pathetic

This is a voluntary relocation. Someone who's been assessed here, found not to have a valid case & paid £2000 to go to Rwanda (for now - no obligation to stay). Nothing to do with the 'Rwanda scheme' of forcibly sending people to Rwanda *instead of* assessing their case here.

Embarrassing

Very stupid to pay this guy off... so many will want to get the same deal

The most interesting bit is the SNP gained +1🤣

ITV News has learned that imports of food and plants from the EU are being waved through customs even if they have incorrect paperwork

So we’re now a smuggler’s paradise lads, are we officially third world now?

Polis that attended yesterdays sword frenzy might lose her hand and her colleague is also suffering an arm injury. The Met rightly get abused when they deserve it so it's right that they get praised for putting themselves in harms way. Hope they both have a full recovery

Indeed. Haven’t watched any of the footage tbh but he must have been horrific

Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour party is set to unveil a weakened package of workers’ rights in the coming weeks in its latest softening of radical policies ahead of the upcoming general election, the Financial Times has learnt

https://x.com/pickardje/status/1785554802300129473?s=46&t=bPTrpdgNggCdz9igvhmVyw

Surprise surprise

Nothing in that is specific.
TBH it seems a whole lot more sensible, more grown up, to consult with business and unions before blurting out a policy that eventually then needs to be u-turned on, surely we've had enough of ideological wishful
burblings that turn out to be unworkable.

I find it very strange that we give politicians crap for changing their policies based on rolling information instead of being steadfast regardless.

Sunak keeps saying economics isn't Starmer's strong point in PMQs, despite being a PM who has presided over a cost of living crisis. He must be the least self aware PM we have ever had.

I suppose Liz Truss may just pip him to that title.

And he was the chancellor that allowed over £10bn worth of COVID finances fraud to be written off

Caller on LBC

"I'll put the dunces hat on, I voted for it (Brexit), my wife now thinks it's all my fault"

My favourite ever LBC moment because it’s fantastic

Imagine having a government that realistically manages expectations instead of unrealistic tubthumping & dog whistles to incite the extreme sides of the electorate & press.

Wow, Sangita Myska has actually been sacked by LBC. And all because she questioned the crimes of the Israeli state.

Khan (LAB): 45% (+1)
Hall (CON): 26% (=)
Blackie (LDM): 10% (+3)

Others: 8% (-2)

Via @Survation, 18-23 Apr.

Sevanta the only pollster that has Susie and Khan close, hopefully this poll is accurate

Agree, like I told Oscar yesterday maybe you should tell your Tory mates to not put up racist nutters to compete in a mayoral elections in one of the most progressive cities in the world.
