Boris Johnson has said the UK could take in 200,000 or more Ukrainian refugees as the government extends its help to more people fleeing the war.
The scheme allowing close relatives of Ukrainian people settled in the UK to come over will be widened to include adult parents, grandparents, children over 18 and siblings. UK firms will also be able to sponsor a Ukrainian entering the country. The changes follow criticism that the UK is doing less than EU countries. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-60569292

Shameless sucker.
Johnson, not Markus. When I look around in the Western world, what great figures are at the helm of nations and supranational institutions, I immediately get stomach cramps. And beyond the West it does not seem to be any better.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak has been delivering his Spring Statement as the costs of fuel, energy and food soar.
Sunak says 70% of workers will get an effective tax cut as he raises the threshold for paying National Insurance (NI) by £3,000 He also announces a 5p cut to fuel duty to come into force at 18:00 tonight. And he announces that the basic rate of income tax will go from 20% to 19% by the end of Parliament in 2024 The Office for Budget Responsibility says inflation and higher taxes from April mean households face the biggest fall in living standards since records began. Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves says Sunak should have scrapped the planned rise to NI and put a windfall tax on oil and gas companies. The chancellor's challenge has been laid bare as prices rose by 6.2% in the 12 months to February - the fastest for 30 years.

Hope this isn't true but I read that the Scottish government prosecuted a man for a rude tweet!

Looks like it is but on a personal note and because of who the tweet was aimed at I have zero sympathy for said individual.

Boris Johnson has been fined by the police for attending a birthday party thrown for him during a Covid lockdown.
The prime minister confirmed he had paid the fine for going to the hour-long gathering in the Cabinet Room on 19 June 2020. Chancellor Rishi Sunak has also been fined, while the PM's wife, Carrie Johnson, confirmed she had paid a fine relating to the same event. Mr Johnson apologised but said he would not resign over the incident. "I accept in all sincerity that people had the right to expect better," he said in an interview, at his Chequers country retreat. "[But] now I feel an even greater sense of obligation to deliver on the priorities of the British people."

None of them will resign as the current crop of MPs have no honour anymore, if it was Keir Starmer who had been fined he'd make something up as in "Its not in the best interests of the country for me to resign at this time as I'm needed at the forefront of the Labour opposition battles that lay ahead". All of them are self serving corrupt b stards, the sad thing about it all is that the idiots who voted for them in the first place will do so at the next election as well.
