This disingenuous commentary doesn’t help anyone. Frauds start unravelling pretty quickly. That you apparently cannot afford to put your oven or treat yourself is quickly undermined by the question “so why are you spending £50 per week on petrol?” Then, it turns out, she has an agent and /1
Ash@queerash.bsky.social · 2w agoElaine in this article "can't remember the last time she used her oven" but also spends £200 a month on petrol (so driving probably ~50 miles a day?) (she's also a professional old person; she was on Good Morning Britain last year, and then also at the Nov budget, and the year before lmao)
Good morning, another week of whatever the fuck this shit is.

The point where the courts cease to have control over decisions on asylum claims is the point where the country ceases in any meaningful sense to be a democracy governed by the rule of law.

That poor man. His family are begging us to see what really happened to him. Even Starmer is ignoring them. Vile people have too much sway in our national conversations. I'm sick of it.
