Even the Mail and the Reformgraph don’t exaggerate as much as you - last month, they quoted £4 million per day, which doesn’t add up to £1 billion per week…

"bleeding obvious" like your £1 billion per week?

Are you suggesting half have already claimed asylum elsewhere ?

The EU law allows member states to return illegal migrants who had previously claimed asylum in another member state to those countries.

I did. Now read it in context.

No, and again you are reading things into my posts that are not there.
Changing the law and ignoring the law are not the same thing.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
Does the fact that we've left the EU make it any easier or harder to resolve this problem?

Leaving the EU has ensured that we don’t have to accept their allocated quota of immigrants.
The ECHR is our main stumbling block, but we need to extract ourselves from all these old international conventions that prevent us from taking appropriate measures to control immigration. The Agreements may have seemed all right when originally drafted, but their meaning has been warped and twisted out of recognition through liberal court decisions over the years.

Do you mean the quota that Cameron opted out of whilst in the EU?

Changes to the winter fuel payment to allow more people to receive it will be in place this year, the chancellor has said.
Rachel Reeves said more people would qualify for the allowance "this winter", however details of the changes and who will be eligible remain unclear.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
Why the uproar. It was to be means tested so those vulnerable would be protected.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
Whatever you call it, is a bad misjudgment by Starmer that's lost him a lot of goodwill and votes.
