Johnson must go.
The agony goes on. Johnson limps on. Hanging on to power is all. The latest proverb doing the rounds is: "When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become a king. The palace becomes a circus." I have seen better run circuses, and the No10 circus is spending all its time and efforts trying to keep its hold on the slippery pole. There are headline grabbing announcements which promise great things but are empty promises. New money is recycled old money.

A long update from ECRE
Channel: Macron Calls on UK to Offer Safe Routes, Home Office Prioritises Crackdown on "Illegal Migration" and Mothballs Afghan Resettlement, Squatters Protest French Policies France says it wants to strike a deal with the UK on Channel crossings that would combine returns and resettlement. UK officials continue to focus on combatting "illegal migration" via deterrence and criminalisation of people on the move. After promising to resettle 20,000 people from Afghanistan, resettlement spaces are being filled with people already in Britain as the Home Office faces criticism for high accommodation costs. Activists in Calais are occupying a 10-storey building to protest the persistent French evictions of makeshift camps. In parallel, 32 NGOs have denounced ongoing "mistreatment and violence" against refugees resulting from Franco-British cooperation.
