BBC news described it as ‘both parties are trying to take the credit for it’.
I credit the country being pretty shit as the reason.

I hear you but look who the country voted for when the Tories were in power and look at the rhetoric now. I’m afraid that’s not a handful of bigots anymore. 😩
My local garage still has the plastic screen up. I think their office feels warmer that way 😁
You’re asking from a compassionate POV. Those who dream up these policies aren’t compassionate people.
They can’t bring themselves to telling the truth: refugees and foreigners aren’t welcome in the UK.
Coming over here, taking our city jobs etc… 🤦♂️
I’m ashamed to have voted Labour. ‘Change’ they said. What, change to being even crueller than the last set of ghouls? F that.
The UK is looking at Denmark, an EU member, as an example on how to best handle immigration.
It’s almost as if we didn’t need Brexit. 🤦♂️
ITV asks ‘what could we do to make people from all minorities feel more welcome’ and irony just died on the channel that wangs on about ‘boat people’ every single day and gives Farage a season ticket. @itvnews.bsky.social @goodmorningbritain.bsky.social
Watching @zoejardiniere.bsky.social wipe the floor with Simon Clarke. Not a sir by character btw.
Feeling ashamed at what this country is becoming. Pound shop trumpism.
I was watching BBC Breakfast this morning and was being served a small boats story three times within 30 minutes.
I support the BBC, but this is the TV equivalent rage bait.
Imagine if they gave climate change or the social care crisis the same coverage.
Watching BBC breakfast and been served 3 stories about small boat crossings within half an hour.
Imagine if they gave climate change or social care the same attention.
It’s the TV equivalent of rage bait.

May need pointing out that I was being ironic.
Our train tickets are essentially part funding their transport infra. You couldn’t make it up.
I think initial estimate was £35b. They’ve now spent triple and have built a small part (unfinished) 🤷♂️
No different on Midland Mainline 🤷♂️
Did you get the super off-peak with parking ticket that’s valid on permitted services for permitted operators only though?
Rarely reported in the UK but have you seen the (massively over budget) new train station in Stuttgart? 😮
Aren’t you, errr, ‘talking the country down’? 🫣
But they elected BloJo (not saying that was good) and were served Truss and Sunak without any say.
Wow, half a kilometre? Count yourself lucky. We have exactly none 🤷♂️
I live near the misnomer that is the ‘Midland Mainline’. 2 tracks, recently partly electrified. It’s 2025 for crying out line. If this is a main line, what does a minor one look like? Good grief it’s embarrassing but at least tickets are cheap. No, wait…
The entire public realism in the UK is, with a few rare exceptions, abysmal. No pride in it. Tarmac and litter, basically.
It really is pathetic.
I’m the father of 3 girls/women and this guy is the last one they would like to stand up for them, or anyone for that matter.
@marina-purkiss.bsky.social On the topic of cancellation of late night show hosts like Stephen Colbert please listen to this on why the hosts will have the last laugh. You won’t regret it.

I’ve watched it. Thanks for being there and talking sense amongst the xenophobes. It must be exhausting for you.
My grandmother Alice Richter worked in a Kindergarten in Berlin in the 1930s. One day, she told us, the SS turned up and removed people from the apartment above.
That’s what the US government is doing right now. EXACTLY the same.
