Bin collections £20 million Parks £15 million Education £80 million Social care/children’s home fees £2billion Sewage £15 million someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my local authority is dying

Hampshire County Council is spending 83% of its budget on social care. An official from this same council told the FT a few days ago that they are paying up to £30,000 *per week* – per child – to for-profit children's homes to look after some children.

We often hear about outrageous asylum cases, in which efforts to control our borders are frustrated by legal interference. This is a systemic issue - it's useful to see these cases lined up side-by-side. A 🧵 on some of the recent cases produced by our broken asylum system

👀Golly. The UK saw a bigger increase in migration flows last year than any other developed country in the world. Striking new figures from the @OECD 👇 Full report here: oecd.org/en/publication…

🧵As the recent influx of migrants to Altrincham hit the national news this week, here is an insider account of what is going on, how the locals have reacted and the response of politicians and officials that hasn't been mentioned in the media.

Street scarring, rubbish, litter are signals of societal breakdown, low levels of social trust and low agency behaviour. Imagine thinking that’s okay. Standards probably far more prevalent in white collar Britain. Noticeable that there’s less of this abroad. Broken windows theory

Please can you come back to Margate @UKPowerNetworks and do the job properly, this is directly outside of @TCMargate art gallery. Have some respect.

I don't want to single anyone out here, but it's important to realise that a sizeable share of people involved in public policy think you need some kind of formal expertise to judge whether £100m is an appropriate price to pay to protect a colony of bats from a train line.

This feels a far more devastating loss for the Democrats, even than 2016. 2016 the Dems had plenty of things to console them. A massive popular vote victory. A narrow electoral college loss in a few places. A rock solid ethnic minority coalition which looked like a solid…

17 point error for Selzer. Sorry, that is *mental*.

With 94% of the vote reported, Iowa has gone for Donald Trump by 14 points

In other words, the whole ballgame of addressing low fertility is a question of getting people from 0 to 1. From there, our current societies do just fine. People who have 1 don't seem to have a hugely hard time going on to their goals. But 0-->1 is a huge roadblock.

BBC acting as disinformation for No10. The PM's office was informed *immediately* re the search, Al Qaeda, ricin etc. The BBC uses clever wording re 'aware of CHARGES' to spread more disinformation *The 'mainstream' IS the disinformation*

Government became aware of new Southport charges in last few weeks bbc.in/4foOh8d

New @FindoutnowUK survey on Conservative leadership 👀

Yesterday we surveyed 250 Conservative Party members. A plurality (31%) think Robert Jenrick is most likely to win the Conservative leadership. Notable that these results follow same order as current betting odds

That's not quite right. Under the Refugee Convention serious criminals can be deported back to their country of origin even if that country is unsafe. By contrast under the ECHR, criminality is not an exception to the principle of non-refoulement. 🧵

I now want to look in more detail at Jenrick's nasty propaganda video. It starts with a few examples of cases to make people angry. But those examples are in fact irrelevant to the case he is trying to make. Jenrick has been an Immigration minister. He must know that the main…
