Clearly it’s an issue and that’s why they’ve kicked them out ?

think they were kicked out mostly cos they were election candidates. don't think the greens have a huge issue with the green woman's declaration (cos they'd lose so many members).

Tories and other right wingers blaming the 'Labour controlled' House of Lords for blocking their Rwanda bill.....................

Well, like so many things, facts don't seem to bother them.

Reform will take votes from racist Labour voters up north - source, people I know up north who are racist.

Looks like someone trying to get likes, retweets and attention. He would be happy if labour were in opposition forever if they said everything he agreed with. That’s fine for a privileged guardian journalist.

The Labour Party won’t miss Owen Jones, it’s telling that as they get closer to government Owen Jones decides he wants out.

Brexit and all it's benefits going well still then. Yet more money spaffed up the wall.

 

A new £24m border control post may have to be demolished because repeated changes to post-Brexit border arrangements have left it commercially unviable.

The facility at Portsmouth International Port is due to begin physical checks on food and plant imports from the EU at the end of next month, but changes to border protocols since it was built mean half of the building will never be used.

 

Built with a £17m central government grant and £7m from Portsmouth City Council, which owns the port, it is designed to carry out checks on up to 80 truck loads of produce a day. The port now expects to process only four or five daily.

As a consequence, half of the 14 loading bays will never be used, and annual running costs of £800,000 a year will not be covered by the fees charged to importers for carrying out checks.

Portsmouth is not alone, with ports across the country puzzling over how to make the over-sized, over-specified buildings commissioned by the government pay for themselves with far less traffic.

 

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs says it spent £200m part-funding new facilities to cope with post-Brexit border controls at 41 ports. It acknowledges that fewer checks will now be required and says ports are free to use spare capacity as they wish.
