A donation of 250k to any of the political parties (apart from snp or greens) or chair of the conservative party is usually enough. Last time a looked cons were the cheapest & labour most expensive. One of the most expensive private members clubs in the UK although benefits are quite nice.

Suella Braverman makes a complete arse of herself at the select committee on immigration.

I like New Zealand’s approach, wouldn’t even allow me in from another common wealth country.
Think I am right in saying they only allow 1,200 per year to settle there. The rest are deported ASAP. No hotels. New Zealanders don’t seem to moan about it either. Same could probably be said for Australia, Canada and USA. It seems only the do gooders here in the UK are the snowflakes wanting to let every fcuker and their dog settle here.
It seems to me that if Scotland/SNP get there way and attitude to immigration then there will need to be one hell of a giant fence on the Scotland/England border.

Scotland needs loads of folk for sure... Lots of jobs going & an aging population.
Not sure you would need a big fence.. the issue is on the south coast.. maybe need to build that wave machine?

As if the countries problems are all down to a few unfortunate people clinging to a dingy in the Channel
They'll be laying off the cleaners and getting the consultants to do the job next.

The NHS needs to be a 2 tier system like the discussion paper in Scotland.
Those earning over £50k need to get their wallets out as they can easily afford private health care.
It will come at some point and should have happened years ago.

Sits alongside permies and receives double what they earn. Why? Becuase they are "temporary" and can be ditched easily.
Until the NHS is properly funded, private health will always be lobbying and nibbling around the edges of the NHS and making a good profit as well.

I mean you take out private health insurance and go to private hospitals for diagnostics and treatment.
I had a problem last month, went to GP, he said will probably be 3 months before you get seen. Asked for a referral letter, came home, called Aviva, seen at Nuffield 2 days later. They since changed my policy so now I don’t need a GP referral anymore, private video call/diagnostic instead.
You could say that’s the way the NHS should work but that would cost £billions more and the country can’t afford it.
