Thiago Carvalho'One Iranian asylum seeker who fled because of his opposition to the government in Tehran, said: “My world, which I had hoped would light up again in this country, was plunged into darkness when I was transferred to a prison called Wethersfield.
“I was identified in Iran, I had to lock myself up in remote rural houses for a while, and now here I have exactly the same feeling and the same memories have come back to me. I am afraid that I will die in this place.”

The stock market is failing according to the CBI. So why don’t we just let it go?
I posted this on Twitter this morning: https://twitter.com/RichardJMurphy/status/1942861045426516103 My point is serious. The CBI is saying that the situation with regard to the UK stock exchange is getting desperate, because it is losing out to overseas markets and not attracting sufficient business. The question that needs to be asked is, why is that?...
Louise LocockGreat to see even The Telegraph turn against Johnson for his lies and arrogance.
"To see him kicking and screaming about being made accountable is a revolting spectacle. It serves to remind us of why he should never have been in power, not why he should be again.

The #ToryParty has fully internalised the concept of:
"By whatever means necessary."
That's what:
1. Makes it, to date, the most successful political party IN THE WORLD;
2. Makes it so incredibly dangerous, as it's prepared to lie & decieve to win.
Bevan knew (pic).
IMO, There's only one way consistently to counteract/defeat that:
Swallow hard and do the same...by any means necessary.

When Ireland joined the EEC income per Head was 55% of then EU average. Today Irish income per head (GNI) is 37% higher than the United Kingdom’s.
Brexit actually emphatically confirms Ireland’s voluntary choice to be part of the European Union. But thanks for thinking of us. X https://twitter.com/CJCHowarth/status/1042854949426786305

A letter was written asking for urgent attention
