This could go into the brexit thread but the Uk could adopt EU law over compensation over cancelled flights but the tories are cunts number 10000334355 as their side with the airlines

If she's holding out while she investigates why she wasn't given a seat in the Lords, I can save her the time; it's because you're a useless imbecile that hasn't achieved anything worth breaking wind at, let alone rewarding.

My low-stakes conspiracy theory is that she is twatting about because her handlers think her malingering on will hurt Rishi more than her simply quitting and losing a by-election.
It’s made him look even weaker.

It's also made the party as a whole seem like even more of a joke, so crack on I say.
Go Nads!

Presumably she's working on exposing the secret Labour-SNP-Lib Dem paedo ring being run out of a kebab shop in Croydon.

Another PM that's breached the code of conduct. Best just brush it all under the carpet and move on, eh.

Urgh. The protests and rhetoric used are bad enough. But no-one is paying attention to the first part of that story...public funds being siphoned off to private business unnecessarily.

Braverman and her lot are guilty of incitement to hatred.
I could have sworn the Tories passed laws about this sort of thing. Where's the hoards of police sweeping them away, like they did when women in London were protesting being raped by officers?
Also, it's interesting how the people who are so worried about "immigrants taking our jobs" have got time to spend living in a tent in a temporary protest camp. Stop their benefits, see how quickly they fucking disperse.

I've always maintained that you have to wonder how shit your job is if you're worried about an immigrant who is unable to read, write or speak your native language taking your job. I understand I'm veering very close to a sneering liberal who's looking down on people but seriously fuck these people and the manipulators who puppeteer them demonising asylum seekers while turning a tidy profit on the side.

It's right there in the article:
'Llanelli steel production was once called a Klondike, so well did it pay, while down the road is what remains of Port Talbot, once called Treasure Island because no one could believe how good the wages were. All of that has gone now, with a town centre that in places is more boards than shops.'
The deindustrialization and hollowing out of towns it is so easy to manipulate people, because they're (rightly) angry. The left blame Capital & globalization, the right blame immigrants & globalization.
Whatever anyone says, that anger is completely justified as both main Westminster parties have completely abandoned these places.

So whatever anyone says the anger and hate, conspiracy theories and so forth directed towards asylum seekers is justified? Wut?

I'm not apologising for them being racist, just that they are deeply angry (which is justified) and are misplacing that anger.
If you free people from a life of precarity then it's amazing how much racism would actually disappear. See also all the trans bullshit people peddle.

I wish that were universally true, but honestly, I think that's a vast oversimplification of things.
Llanelli is a working class town that's suffered deprivation but it's also a traditional Labour heartland and unlike quite a lot of others, it has remained so, despite voting for Brexit (and this causing the town's previous major employer to leave) when many others went Tory. And now, some of its citizens are allowing themselves to be led and driven by Tory and other deeply right-wing, fascist propaganda to do things which don't really represent them or their town and community. They might be angry, but they're tools and they're allowing themselves to be used.
Times are tough everywhere. Not everyone is immediately leaping to victimise all immigrants for things a tiny few might do, however.

Vast swathes of the country were abandoned because they didnt live in london and people came along and gave them something/someone to point their fingers at.
