Happy new year to you and Tiff, Philip!

Tory MP criticised after demanding legally settled families be deported Katie Lam said move would make UK ‘culturally coherent’ and that a large number of people ‘need to go home’

I second that; you really are amazing, Philip. I am looking forward to seeing you on Friday.
