So it turns out they spent £715 million on sending a grand total of FOUR volunteers to Rwanda.

For comparison, this is more than you could expect to spend on building an entire brand new hospital in the UK

Whose land? Tax avoidance and the broken economics of British farming Noise in the billionaire press about inheritance tax changes hides a basic fact: the non-farming rich own too much land

“Some 56% of farmland bought in 2023 was sold to landowners who were not working farmers. The revenue per acre is too low to warrant the purchase, unless you are extremely wealthy and are avoiding inheritance tax”

A restaurant board sign that reads: “we are not all in the same boat. We are in the same storm. Some have yachts. Some have canoes. And some are drowning. Just be kind and help when you can.

Headline reading: The grass isn’t always greener: why expats return to the UK
About 99,000 Brits emigrated last year, but 61,000 came back. These are the challenges of moving back to Blighty after living abroad

Headline reading: The grass isn’t always greener: why expats return to the UK About 99,000 Brits emigrated last year, but 61,000 came back. These are the challenges of moving back to Blighty after living abroad

How many times do I need to say this?

These are not expats, they are immigrants.

You don’t “expat” somewhere, you emigrate, and that makes you an immigrant.

I have never heard anyone refer to “Bangladeshi Expats” or “Polish Expats”, it’s always immigrants, so why not here?

Phone is buzzing this weekend with campaigns and MPs on both sides of the assisted dying debate.

Been a long time since I’ve known a vote in Parliament that’s attracting this level of passion and lobbying. Think not since the Brexit years.

It’s WONDERFUL that Food banks are getting royal approval!
Food banks were invented thanks to a Conservative Government.
Because of our vision, effectiveness & promotion of a compassionate society food banks came into being.
One of our great achievements being rightly recognised!
