    ‘ There are now closer to 800 migrants crossing the channel. The total figure could reach more than 1000 by the end of the day…’

    Lol….Think we need a Dunkirk in reverse….if the navy can’t handle it then have our own small boat armada going out there and dragging this lot back to France….they are after all ‘French’….if they have no ID then they’re French and thus the French can have them back no problem….never mind what the BBC’s Mark Easton thinks.

    Excellent news – from the DT

    The Treasury has borrowed £11.4bn more than forecast so far this year, official figures show, raising pressure on Rachel Reeves as she seeks to fill a gaping hole in the public finances.

    Public sector net borrowing has hit £83.8bn since April, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), having jumped by another £18bn in August.

    It was the highest August figure for five years and £5.5bn higher than forecast by the Chancellor’s tax and spending watchdog, with the Treasury forking out £8.4bn in debt interest payments alone during the month.

    It leaves borrowing so far this financial year £11.4bn above the £72.4bn that had been projected by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) in March.

    The ONS also blamed higher public sector pay, while VAT receipts disappointed amid a drop in consumer confidence.

    Come economy – crash and we can get rid of TTK

    From the BBC report on the economic state of France – “Far from producing a stronger basis for governing, the new parliament was now split three ways: centre, left and far-right.”

    And there we have it. The BBC spectrum is that EVERYTHING to the right of centre is FAR-right. Now you know where YOU stand lol

      That stands to reason. They’ve moved the centre ground 50 points to the left so anybody actually of the centre is now deemed right wing.

        But notice there are no “Far Left”

        However, there are many “Hard-Left” French politicians. I wonder what the difference is?

        Didn’t Starmer do well, cringing, and hating having to watch a real leader say it how it is, and our little bloke (?),in the headlights, whimpering and having no answer, being a far-leftie!

        What a cock-up this absolute failure of a ‘cabinet’ is! Utterly hopeless in the case of adversity.

        If we had a ‘Military’, they could well be sitting down and saying, ‘Enough is enough’, but we don’t, so we’re left with the spineless cowards like TTK, his ridiculous sidekicks, and the lefties in Whitehall…

        Naturally, the beeboids are in thrall of such a failure, but as their tax income increases, why should they worry?

    “Asked by Lynch if they had a message for family and friends, Mrs Reynolds replied: “My message is God is good, as they say in Afghanistan.””

    God is good, except in Afghanistan
    God is good, Allah Akbar but in a nice refined way
    As they say in Afghanistan – they also say “ban all female books”, ha ha hah aha hah ahh ah

    “Abdul Qahar Balkhi, a spokesperson at the Taliban government’s foreign ministry, said in a statement posted on X that the couple “violated Afghan law” and were released from prison after a court hearing.

    He did not say what law the couple were alleged to have broken.”
