    The same way Tesco were giving it large about not increasing their mobile airtime plan prices in line with RPI like the other providers.

    You've just said BP etc have extra additives so it's clearly not the same end product that goes in your car.

    He said the premium fuels have extra additives, not the regular fuels. The regular fuel is the same whether it's at a supermarket or a normal filling station.

    Priti Patel tries to blame Labour for fuel shortages.

    Well, the police already have powers to remove protesters so this is pathetic.

    I think he might just be able to see it out because it's kind of gone away from the front pages. Depends how much the press want to go after it I suppose.

    But anyway technically he's lied to parliament. Which we all knew anyway so he should resign. But, he won't so the Tories will have to get rid of him and I'm not sure they will.

    People caring or not shouldn't matter. Breaking the law should be an automatic ousting, even if the guy was 100% in the opinion polls.

    I see Sunak had categorically denied being at any of them as well.

    So that'll be another case where lying to the Commons will be deemed more acceptable than calling somebody a liar in the commons, I assume?

    Completely agree. There are standards and said standards should be met. Provably breaking the law and being fined for it while in office should be an instant dismissal.

    Shouldn't but will. He will bluster his way through some questions at PMQ, send some poor lamb to talk to the BBC and it will all be forgotten by this time next week. Democracy and our entire political system are bullshit.

    The idea of sending asylum seekers to Rwanda for processing is surely a wind-up?

    The logistics of it sound difficult, especially to Rwanda, but offshoring this stuff is a tremendous idea if we insist on preserving the legal order that makes catapulting people straight out increasingly impossible.

    Nothing about this is a tremendous idea. Using Albania was bad enough, but fucking Rwanda? We'd be sending most refugees further than where they've travelled from.

    It's absolutely incredulous how racist the non-white daughter-of-immigrants Home Secretary is.

    The soft left view at the moment seems to be that we should welcome all immigrants at all times. Good luck running public services on that basis.

    £2 million per person they were saying on the radio last night. I hope to god that isn’t correct because if it is that is pure madness.

    Welcoming immigrants is completely different to processing asylum seekers. Something like 8 out of 10 claims are lawful asylum claims so we're talking about a minority. As ever, the government are more interested in marginalising the most desperate and making a packet for crime by removing the ability to get her in a safe and legal way.

    It costs us $4.3 million per brown fella on Nauru.


    These contracts are handed out by Peter Dutton to his mates.

    I never really get those stats. Is it total cost set against those actually allowed in [ie very few], or is it the actual cost of processing ever individual?

    If this means Arsenal can gouge enough to buy a top striker out of their next sleeve sponsorship renewal I'm all for it. Kagame could even put that in the contract

    If cost was the point you wouldn't have any border controls, which is ultimately what a lot of politicians want.
