🚨BREAKING🚨New figures reveal the true cost of Brexit.

It's time for Labour to stop being so timid and fix the damage done by the Conservatives' botched Brexit deal.

That is the best way to boost growth, put money in people's pockets and properly fund our public services.

The botched Budget made the wrong tax choices, and was a missed opportunity to tackle the Β£90 billion Brexit black hole.

Donald Trump destroyed public service broadcasting in the US - it's little surprise Nigel Farage wants to do the same thing here.

Trump’s America, don’t let it become Farage’s Britain.

Headline: Lancashire’s Reform-run council plans to close care homes and day centres

If this is what happens when Reform runs a council, just imagine Farage running the country.

Care homes closed and vulnerable people abandoned.

We cannot let Trump’s America become Farage’s Britain.

No new PFI in Neighbourhood Health Services | We Own It Wes Streeting: do not use a β€œPublic Private Partnership” to finance Neighbourhood Health Centres

Did you spot it?

This government wants to use a PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP for Neighbourhood Health Centres in its 10 year NHS plan

*Even though Private Finance Initiatives mean the NHS paying up to 27 x over for hospitals*

The Covid Contracts: Follow the Money review – a devastating picture of the biggest spending scandal ever This rigorous look at the Tories’ β€˜VIP lane’ for PPE suppliers during Covid raises questions about the motivations of those involved – ones that are almost too disgusting to contemplate

This is an extraordinary piece of telly. Utterly damming of the corruption of the last Conservative Government - and of our political and legal systems which have failed even to aspire to holding those chancers to account.

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place"

"Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people"

-Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

Dear Mr Farage  

Welcome to Oxfordshire. You came here to talk about β€œmass deportations” but made no effort to understand the people or challenges of this community. 
  
Your proposals offer no costed plan. Daily flights, new detention centres and vast surveillance systems would cost billions. Empty slogans are not a substitute for serious policy. 

It did not go unnoticed that you spoke just minutes from Campsfield House, where a detention centre is being rebuilt despite local opposition and past scandals. Yet you chose not to meet residents living with those consequences. 

You often invoke Winston Churchill, born here in Oxfordshire. He spent his career grappling with difficult truths and forging alliances in our national interest. Instead of sowing division, we should build on that legacy. 

Our immigration system is broken after years of Government failure. It needs urgent, practical reform: fair, managed migration to meet workforce shortages, a faster asylum system and support for those fleeing war and persecution. That requires cooperation and honesty, not division. 

If you return, I would be glad to show you Oxfordshire’s real story: businesses thriving thanks to home and overseas talent, health and care services desperate for staff and residents supporting refugees with compassion. You would see a community interested in solving problems, not fuelling conflict. 

Yours sincerely 

Calum Miller MP
