Only a matter of time before they start shipping them to Australia for stealing bread.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Australia already has enough conservatives I think.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In his first interview since returning from a summer holiday in the United States, Mr Sunak was asked whether he was personally warned about potential health risks for asylum seekers on board the Bibby Stockholm.
The Home Office says that by the autumn, they aim to house about 3,000 asylum seekers in places that are not hotels - such as the barge, and former military sites Wethersfield, in Essex, and Scampton, in Lincolnshire.
Asylum applications have increased in the last couple of years, with the backlog of cases rising to more than 172,000 people, according to the latest Home Office figures.
Mr Sunak has pushed for a bilateral returns agreement with France, but President Emmanuel Macron believes any deal must be at an EU level.
A leaked memo reported by the two newspapers suggests such a pact is not being entertained by the EU, which is dealing with its own internal rows over migration and refugee returns reforms.
The Daily Mail says it has seen an internal British government memo which describes the outcome of the meeting between National Security Adviser Sir Tim Barrow and Bjoern Seibert - the head of Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's cabinet.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
What a barge to die on Rishi.
