Trump-style mass deportations won’t build a fair migration system . They’ll just create chaos and tear communities apart as the 🇺🇸 is showing right now. Real patriots who care for their country would focus on practical, humane, solutions - not fan the flames of division.

This headline should read:. A small number of so called non-doms who didn’t pay much tax have now left the UK because they were asked to pay something like the effective tax rate that 95% of the rest of us pay. Maybe a snappier version, but you get the point!

Hereditary Peers voting to block low paid workers having a guaranteed hours contract is not a good look. 72% of public back ban on zero hours contracts. 3/4 back day 1 protections from unfair dismissal. Read the room - support the employment rights bill
