Diary - no return to the EU

  • Tweet
Thursday, 14 September, 2023
  • Diary

Some minor surgery will put me out of action for a little while. A bore when there is so much to do. The Opposition leader is showing his true colours by cozying up to the EU in a bid to stop these people traffickers from sending illegal migrants across the Channel in small boats. Starmer was visiting Europol, claiming that better communication with the EU would help tackle the problem. What he's not saying is that any deal would see the UK taking its share of migrants as the problem worsens in the years ahead. That is totally unsustainable, as it is already. He will jump on any bandwagon and I, for one, do not trust him an inch. We await the decision of the Supreme Court this autumn, but I hope it agrees with the Government that we can send illegal migrants to Rwanda to deter others from coming and risking their lives in the Channel. Abroad, bodies were "constantly" being washed ashore, morgues overwhelmed and the death toll from the catastrophic flooding in Libya was predicted to be in the tens of thousands. It is a terrible tragedy. Finally, thousands of warrant card details held by Greater Manchester Police officers were stolen after systems were hacked.

Diary - new and impressive development at Bournemouth Hospital

Monday, 2 October, 2023

Is the PM going to cancel HS2, or not. That was the question that everyone was asking at our Conference in Manchester. I suspect the PM will be forced to make a decision by his speech on Wednesday. The strong rumours were that he would cancel this project, which I have never supported.
