Who was the Minister in charge of this policy under Starmer? Good work.

Don’t tell @reformparty_uk , what they going to shout about now?

Great job @Keir_Starmer best @10DowningStreet in years @UKLabour you fucked up big time

They found a legal route into the UK I see.

So still thousands of them

Though, with Brexit uncertainty still loomin' large, it's difficult to say if this trend will stick.

Data shows! You mean the same data that shows that they have all been moved into houses 👍 still sucking on the taxes

We are going to do this soon

Chanel4 still pushing the party line I see 👍 how much are the government paying you ?

Excellent progress

Yes, You're still bleeding to death But good news.. You're bleeding to death less quickly. 🤷‍♀️

Hotel use down. HMO use skyrockets. UK ship captains said they couldn't leave port at the beginning of the year due to adverse weather in the English Channel; waves were too high. Wasn't it the Tories who tightened the rules around students bringing in dependents?

Well done @Keir_Starmer - credit where it's due

They shouldn’t be sent to detention camps.. wrong 😑
