👀 Duncan Baker allying himself to the “New” Conservatives 🔵 This group want to block temporary visas for much-needed care workers coming to the U.K. 🤨 Does anyone want to remind him that he represents the oldest constituency in the country, and our care sector is in crisis?

"We’re proposing to shut that route so employers look at recruiting local young people" Miriam Cates, MP in the New Conservatives group which wants stricter measures to curb immigration, says ending temporary visa schemes would encourage Brits to fill care sector jobs. #R4Today

The fact the left so aggressively police the language around their agenda shows how vulnerable they feel it is. Cultural Marxism is an accurate description of what’s going on. Chris knows this, but here goes.

Remember how the UK Government praised its free trade agreement with New Zealand? The EU has just signed their agreement with New Zealand. The difference? The 🇪🇺-🇳🇿 agreement protects EU producers and consumers, ensuring that the EU market isn’t flooded with goods from 🇳🇿

Sainsbury's CEO Simon Roberts total pay for 2022/23 was £4.9m. On a 40 hour week, that's over £2k/hour. His lowest-paid workers earn just £11/hour. I asked how on earth that's justifiable, especially during a cost of living crisis. The silence was deafening.

I said on @GMB today, in reference to new depressing stats on the numbers struggling to pay mortgages and rent, that its going to be a nightmare year for some. I've seen a few references here calling me a "prophet of doom" the same attack phrase used by some last year when I was warning we needed energy intervention, again based on known facts of huge impending price hikes (eventually govt intervened so they 'only' doubled not trebled). To try to demonise a person explaining the situation and try and knock down anyone warning people to prepare seems a dangerous precedent. Advance warning, and raising the issue publically, helps both individuals prepare and puts pressure on policy makers to act before it happens, rather than leave it until its too late. I hope I try and make positive practical suggestions. I won't wear blinkers and a gag to the plight millions are facing.
