Really important thread and a lesson in unintended consequences for civil servants and policy makers/pushers everywhere. At the end of the day, people make logical decisions when deciding to emigrate.

Rishi Sunak, whose party campaigned for Gary Lineker to be sacked for expressing his opinions and whose government blacklisted from official events anyone who publicly criticised them, says 'cancel culture' is now 'threatening our freedom'
The government is now briefing a voluntary relocation to Rwanda - paying somebody £3000 as in voluntary return programmes - presenting it as if the UK-Rwanda MEDP removal scheme had begun

@UKLabour @RachelReevesMP @JonAshworth The National Insurance Fund Account has a surplus of £72,5bn. It could have been used to increase benefits & the state pension. Tories have raided it for tax cuts for the rich and fund national insurance holidays for companies in enterprise zones. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/657ae7f1…
A few years ago someone I know spent time in a council housing dept. Staff were having visible breakdowns because of the number of evictions they were forced to carry out.
Council letter tells a 56-year-old woman due to be evicted on 1 May that she should be able to "function reasonably well" if she ends up on the streets. This is terrible. And the govt is set to criminalize rough sleeping. What has the country become? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Ah yes, it rained and @thameswater as usual empties the bowels of its sewage system into the nearest river.
@jessphillips They're so far behind on PIP renewals and applications I don't see how they could then start approving individual purchases. Need some live saving equipment? Good news the backlog is only six months at the moment.
A reminder that this is the same government that is currently promising to clamp down on what it describes as "immoral" waste in the civil service
And QT literally balances their audience according to number of seats held in Commons (as Fiona Bruce explains frequently) so there is a Tory majority every single week

#Nursing course applications in Jan 2024 dropped by 11,730 (32%) vs. the peak in 2021. This is concerning given the 34% increase in training places needed by 2028 according to NHS Long Term Workforce Plan. Find out more: nuffieldtrust.org.uk/nhs-staffing-t…
🔴Some Labour candidates in hopeless seats are forced to sign contracts where they agree to spend lots of time campaigning in a better named seat nearby. I hear they have to commit to take activists from their own seat on campaign trips to the more winnable constituency.
Biden should be ashamed
In my medical career I have easily spent more time treating patients with complications from the private sector than treating asylum seekers. Don’t believe the haters!
Bank accounts of millions of individuals, landlords, charities, voluntary organisations, companies will be 24/7 snooped on by the UK govt. You won't be told, can't appeal against it, will have no say in how the information will be used. Fascism is here. leftfootforward.org/2024/04/the-go…
New at Post Office inquiry: Angela Van den Bogerd admits she got her bonus in 2019 after "lying" to the High Court in the Bates trial. "So despite a finding in the High Court that basically you lied, you got your bonus?" Edward Henry KC tells the inquiry. "Yes," she says.
Kay: Why do you think some of the bodies found in a mass grave at Nasser hospital were found with their hands bound? Israel's Special Envoy @FleurHassanN : Because we probably arrested the terrorists Kay: And then killed them...? #KayBurley FC #Gaza #Israel #Palestine

Quite right. Labour should stamp on this nonsense at once. The Rwanda scheme is wrong, whether it works or not (which it won't).
We literally can come in and just rip up the Rwanda deal - anything else would be morally bankrupt!

Been reassured by a Labour insider that this is bollocks. Would be, shall we say, extremely helpful for a shadow minister to say so on the record - some of us are at risk of losing our minds

@LBC You should delete this. This is not part of the government's Deportation scheme with Rwanda. It is a separate parallel voluntary removal of a former asylum seeker who accepted a cash payment to relocate to Rwanda
Grief. That old, unwelcome, yet ultimately unavoidable friend, has many faces - some we recognise at a glance, others sneak up on us when we least expect it. It’s a shape-shifter, adapting to the contours of our souls, filling spaces we didn’t even know were empty until they…

Overheard someone say how dull anaesthetics must be. Fair enough. Last week I was in a helicopter delivering care outside in someone’s garden. Day after I was seeing new babies being born & sharing that joy with the parents. Proper dull stuff you think? #chooseanaesthetics
When I was a TV political reporter with Newsnight & C4 News, if I'd said only a few months before a general election that I was thinking of standing in that election, I would have expected the BBC or ITN to sack me.
🟣Nigel Farage had emailed: "The really big decision is whether to re-enter the front lines of British politics. If I do this it will come at a considerable sacrifice, as it did before. My thoughts are full of this at this moment in time & I will decide in the next few weeks."
This is appalling. The Secretary of State either doesn't understand the system or is deliberately lying about it. Whether dishonest or ignorant, he should go. 🚮
The work & pensions minister says the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is "thousands of pounds a month" If you qualify for the higher weekly rate & get the mobility part you get £184.30 per week, which works out at £798.63/month. So you don't get thousands of pounds a month
Haven't seen any polling but my sense is the Tories have miscalculated the value of a dividing line on benefits for people with mental illnesses. Plenty of middle class professionals with depression/anxiety who are also being insulted with "pull your socks up" BS.
A reminder that this is the same government that is currently promising to clamp down on what it describes as "immoral" waste in the civil service
Imagine you introduce austerity, which hits most vulnerable. You handle pandemic by partying. You do Brexit knowing it’s going to adversely impact those vulnerable most. You remove justice, batter NHS & don’t support mental health care. Then you blame vulnerable for not coping….
If re-elected, I will start negotiations with Whitehall for more devolved control of benefits, including disability benefits. We need to stop desperate politicians playing divisive politics with people’s lives.
Should NHS trusts be ordered to include the discussion of any report from a regulatory body on their public board papers (rather than discussing it in private)? Would seem to be a genuine matter of public interest.
A memorial is set to be built for Muslim soldiers who fought and died alongside British and Allied forces in both World Wars trib.al/pPihWf2
It's hard to fathom how anybody who voted without demur for austerity, Brexit, Trussonomics, benefit cuts for the disabled, Universal Credit, bedroom tax, tripled tuition fees, anti-union laws and the Rwanda deportations can suddenly declare that they're a Labour MP
There would once have been stigma attached to deporting asylum seekers to dictatorships, looting pension funds, dodging taxes, illegally sacking entire workforces, dumping sewage in rivers and selling unusable PPE to the NHS. These things need to be shameful again.
