And Dave Brown…
… and speaking of nasty policies… Ben Jennings on the Rwanda asylum laws, which finally passed after the Government pushed a law through telling everyone that Rwanda was safe after all – despite the Supreme Court and European Court of Human Rights saying it’s not…
Martin Rowson – on bills going up and up and up. And even if the energy bills are coming down, they’re coming down for so many people from impossible to pay without starving the whole family levels to just impossible to pay unless one or two of the kids goes hungry levels…
