The tories really are screwed in the medium-to-long-term.
Only question is how badly they can screw over the rest of us in the short term.

‘Migration’ is a misnomer here, at least in the sense that those of us with a background in system implementation would understand it. They are not moving people onto the new system, they are simply stopping existing benefits and telling people to apply for

All those peaceniks and Ostalgieists saying that the UK should not engage in eye-for-an-eye reprisals against Russia are wrong. I think they should engage in tit-for-tat assassinations with the Russians by having MI6 bump off Mr Boris Johnson.

WRITTEN STATEMENTS
Home Office
06 September 2018
Sajid Javid (The Secretary of State for the Home Department)

Migration Policy
"My rt hon Friend the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and I are pleased to announce that our departments will implement a nationwide pilot to bring non-EU migrant workers to UK farms, commencing in early 2019. The pilot will mean fruit and vegetable farmers are able to employ migrant workers for seasonal work for up to six months. 2,500 workers from outside the EU will be able to come to the UK each year, alleviating labour shortages during peak production periods.

...automated harvesting solutions are not universally available and so in the short term, this pilot will support farmers during peak production periods."

Written statement posted on the Parliamentary website earlier today
Cavalier, imperious and astounding statement

"If anyone ever doubted the malign influence of the Tory-loving media in this country, one only needs to observe the latest Brexit developments. In which other country would government ministers be able to talk so blithely about miles and miles of stationary goods lorries and planning for medicine shortages, as a direct result of a deliberate policy decision?"

Though maybe that is because most people still don't think it will actually happen. If it does, then we are in a different ball game so to speak.

FAMILIES have been left struggling after failing to receive Child Tax Credit payments because the system does not recognise Scottish school holidays, an SNP MSP has claimed.

Edinburgh Pentlands MSP Gordon Macdonald said he had been contacted by parents whose payments were stopped on August 31 in line with the start of English school terms – even though they had phoned HM Revenue & Customs two weeks earlier, when Scottish schools returned, to confirm their 16-year-old children were still in education.
