Morning all.

My twitter feed algorithm is currently throwing up a story about how Elon Musk is a conspiracy theory peddling nutjob. Perhaps my fears he would ruin twitter are unfounded. It's proving quite fun so far

Re: Monday 31st October 2022
After the Dover immigration centre was firebombed they bussed the migrants to Manston which was already in the news for overcrowding?

This point seems to be stating the obvious given Braverman's meetings with John Hayes. Is she Home Secretary or is he?

Re: Monday 31st October 2022
In the Sunday Times yesterday Harry Yorke and Tim Shipman said that they had been told by five sources that Suella Braverman was told she needed to authorise alternative accommodation for the asylum seekers at Manston because of the overcrowding problem there. Braverman resisted that advice.
Not to be outdone, Alex Wickham from Bloomberg says he has six sources for the same story.
What is perhaps significant about this is not the central claim – that Braverman was to blame for the decision not to alleviate overcrowding at Manston – because this has not changed since it was first reported by the Times on Saturday. Instead, the key point now seems to be that all and sundry in Whitehall are briefing against her.

We might complain about Yvette Cooper but you wouldn't want to be Braverman facing her in the HoC.
But will she?

Well this sort of situation is the occasion where Cooper is good, even a confirmed non-fan like me will admit that.

Re: Monday 31st October 2022
I don't like Crerar using the word 'admits' there.
HO systems are clearly broken and out of control, but illegal immigration* equally clearly isn't. 30k or so asylum seekers a year, or thereabouts, I think.
There is no migrant crisis. Except of course for the poor souls stuck in Afghanistan, etc.
* And of course they're not illegal immigrants until their asylum claim has been processed and rejected.

Already being speculated that SB may have fibbed in the Commons today, if so that should become clear in the next few days and she is surely toast.
