Jeremy Corbyn has launched a personal attack on Boris Johnson as the two clashed in Parliament over the deportation of foreign offenders.

The Home Office has said the criminals deported had combined jail sentences of at least 75 years, including two convicted of rape, one of whom was sentenced to 11 years in jail and the other to four years and six months.

They included one persistent offender who had 24 convictions for 33 offences, another jailed for nine years for conspiracy to rob and possession of a firearm and another given a seven-year sentence for intent to supply class A drugs.

I really don't see a problem here and I doubt the Brit public will either.

Steptoe has no idea about this issue.

All foreign national offenders should be deported from the country and those with dual nationality should be stripped of there british citizenship as well. :up:

We have the same discussion here in Denmark and in Sweden.

The answer people get is

We can't deport foreigners who have commit crime in our country, if they have a Danish/Swedish passport, due to these conventions such as Geneva convention or UN convention.

^ Self-evident. If anyone has a danish passport, he should be subject to danish law. End of discussion.

Why he/she has initially received it (dual citizenship?) is another question.. and maybe reason for discussion or change.

But even a person without any citizenship and no passort at all is subject to international law, and humanitarian concerns. If you think this is wrong you should read one or two novels by Eric Ambler :)

Sajid Javid has resigned as chancellor as Boris Johnson carries out a post-Brexit cabinet reshuffle.

Shortest Chancellor in history, not a good thing with the budget four weeks away.

"Mr Javid rejected an order to fire his team of aides, saying "no self-respecting minister" could accept such a condition."

I am sure "The Sun" or "Express UK" will use a different description.

"His resignation follows rumours of tensions between Mr Javid and the prime minister's senior adviser Dominic Cummings."

Could it be someone has a rest of reason, and self respect.

Dominic Cummings is pulling all the strings here and poor old Bozo Johnson is having to dance to his tunes whether he likes it or not.

I'm pleased Dominic has axed Julian Smith, he approved prosecuting ex British soldiers in N Ireland. :up:
Housing Minister Esther McVey has bit the dust again, can't that bleeding woman hold a job down?. :haha:
Sajid Javid, with a name like that he needed sacking, but he jumped before he was pushed, he never even had a budget so we didn't know if he was going to be any good as a chancellor, obviously Dominic thought not.

If these two keep carrying on like this no one will want to be promoted to the cabinet, beware the Ides of March Bozo. :D

If you peruse the blog post over on Conservative Home you'll find that quite a few of it's commentators don't like what they're seeing:

On the contrary, he is the front man for Boris, who is obviously delighted takes all the flack for everything.

Boris has long wanted to have more direct influence on a number of government departments and the treasury is the latest.

Scottish Conservatives: Jackson Carlaw succeeds Ruth Davidson as leader

Jackson Carlaw has been confirmed as the new leader of the Scottish Conservatives after winning a vote of party members.

Mr Carlaw had been the party's interim leader since Ruth Davidson quit the role in August.

He has now won the job full time after defeating fellow MSP Michelle Ballantyne by 4,917 votes to 1,581.

Mr Carlaw had been the clear favourite in the contest, and was backed by most of the party's MPs and MSPs.

He said he was now "ready to hit the ground running and win" in next year's Scottish Parliament election by attracting voters from "middle Scotland".

The new leader has already promised a full review of the party's policies and a "new, reinvigorated" frontbench team at Holyrood.

An interesting time to take over the reins.

This will need to be confirmed as I heard this on the radio.

The Jewish Council of England is backing Lisa Nandy to be the next leader or the labour party.
