#CardboardBoy crows this morning that the 'first channel migrant has been detained'
In 1998, Labour published a white paper titled Fairer, faster and firmer - a modern approach to detention centres. It promised
"The number of detention centres would be brought up to 2,800 by 2005"
In 1993, the immigration act had given the legal basis for asylum seekers to be fingerprinted - as if they were common criminals.
Why do we treat those that have suffered like this?
When he sat in his golf house, Trump berated Sadiq Khan as a “nasty person.” He sung the praises of #Frogface. He repeatedly cut the Prime Minister off and lectured him endlessly with inane rants about immigration and energy policy. Starmer’s response was tepid: a few careful smiles, some polite nods, and no challenge to Trump’s tirades. .
#CardboardBoy looked and acted like a foreign dignitary in his own country !
Did your MP call on #CardboardBoy to recognise #Palestine you can check here xx
The Labour Party, under the leadership of #CardboardBoy included the recognition of a Palestinian state in its manifesto for the election in 2024
That pledge marked a shift from the party’s previous stance, which, in the 2019 manifesto, promised immediate recognition of Palestine because it emphasised that it should occur “at an appropriate time"
THAT TIME IS TODAY
Lord Darroch suggested to #TrevorPhillips that ##CardboardBoy should be talking to #Trump about "where he stands regarding the two state solution for #Palestine"
Yet, less than 5 mins before, he said that Palestine does not meet the criteria for statehood
CHUMP!
My thoughts about why Starmer is letting the children of #gaza starve to death
So sorry this is a thread
#cardboardBoy has before now blurred the distinctions between criticism of #Israel and antisemitism, and has referred to Israel as a beacon of democracy in defiance of his own party’s motion declaring it an apartheid state, and denounced all activism in favour of boycotts, even those targeting Israel’s illegal settlements.

Andy Slaughter is pushing #CardboardBoy at some Committee Meeting saying, 'We have heard you say about the ceasefire before but every day we are seeing new horrors, more deaths and our citizens are looking to you to try and make that ceasefire happen. What will that be?"
>he has gone beetroot red<
KS ums and ers and says "the situation on the ground is intolerable' and in a fucked up tautology he says 'we are working hard to get to that ceasefire and that's part of the work we are doing"
#cardboardboy in reference to the Afghan Data Breach says at #pmqs that ministers opposite have serious questions to answer, but then so has his government for refusing to grant asylum to a good many Afghani people and families
#CardboardBoy is due to meet #Trump in Scotland later on this month
COME ON SCOTLAND
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO
One of the very first actions #CardboardBoy did was to stop the long-running Junior Doctors strike. The public was pleased. One year later, Junior Doctors are now known as Resident Doctors, and they have just voted for industrial action ..

#ZarahSultana condems British MPs and #CardboardBoy in particular for how they voted in the proscription of #PalestineAction
#CardboardBoy says one of the reasons for welfare reforms is because there are 3 million unemployed.
But the ONS recent figures say we have full employment with only 736,000 vacancies.
So, there's the rub.
Debbie Abrahams chair of the Work and Pensions Committee has come out tonight and said, "we are still not convinced, and it is looking like we still want to table the amendment."
Such a pronoun!
#Cardboardboy could be in a LOT of trouble tomorrow.
[Nb what I wrote about there has only ever been one majority g'ment that has lost a 2bd reading bill throughout the 20th and 21st centuries]
#Streeting says on #BBCLauraK about the amendment "signed by over 100 MPs" and "we are not perfect. No government is perfect"
Fun fact
Throughout the entire 20th and 21st centuries there was only ONE bill that a majority government had failed on the second reading.
Should Tuesday be a failure for #CardboardBoy then there will be TWO bills that had failed
That would put Starmer in a very precarious position.
Even if this passes, I can't see how Kendall Mint Cakes can remain

Oh dear #CardboardBoy won't be at today's #PMQs so can't promise Kemi anything for to shore up the ##welfareRefornBill
#CardboardBoy has just said next week's #welfarereformbill vote is 'not a vote of confidence'
Do you know why?
Because he's going to LOSE!
It's July 1st

Gary Gibbon of #Channel4News says to #CardboardBoy, "Presumably you must think Iran represents a real threat to Israel otherwise you would not have said that Israel still has a right to defend itself"
He looks confused and replies: ''I have always been clear in my mind's eye that we need to de-esceleate"
.... And then his batteries ran out
#CardboardBoy is asked whether the UK could be involved in helping Israel deflect retaliatory drone and missile strikes from Iran
He replies:
“These are obviously operational decisions, and the situation is ongoing and developing, and therefore I’m not going to get into the precise details. But we are moving assets. We’ve already been moving assets to the region, including jets, and that is for contingency support across the region. So that is happening."
WTAF!!
Full statutory inquiry into grooming gangs following Casey Report says #CardboardBoy
Obviously to head off Reform. 
#Israel, without provocation, attacks Iran and #CardboardBoy comes out with "Israel has the right to defend itself...."
AAAAARGGGGGGHHHH!!!
