This turned into a mini-thread, mini-rant. Sorry.

Do those Tories, incl Sunak, who said crossings reflected a failure by France to stop migrants, also think crossings into RoI reflect a UK failure? Would they advise the Irish to "just pick them up and drop them off on a UK beach"? Or is Britain (once again) somehow exceptional?
@sturdyAlex Emotional invalidation is their M.O. Being a UK citizen is like being trapped in a basement at the hands of an abuser with a looping soundtrack of Rishi’s voice: ‘You like it. You asked for this. You should be grateful.’ And having to pay for it.
Condescending prick Chris Philp says Tories' awful poll ratings are because "people feel a bit grumpy with the gov't" - as if we're all toddlers who got too exited and just need a nap - and that polls will change when the GE comes. If they genuinely think that, why not call it?
Maybe they really will "stop the boats". By opening more easily exploitable routes for people smugglers.

Inland border checks are going to be off the scale bonkers. A failure of implementation only a Tory government could dream up. 1) Enter the UK. 2) Drive 22 miles to get checked. 3) If found dodgy, drive 22 miles back and meekly leave the UK. Gaping holes ripe for exploitation.
Rumours of an election announcement on Monday are hitting 1000mph. If they are false and Downing Street doesn’t reject them soon the No10 operators risk looking like bottlers. Messy.
There's always disproportionate attention to 'big' changes in the polls, but this is easily within margin of error. Little evidence that the mood of the electorate has shifted this week. No Rwanda bounce yet.

A very good point. Street wants to hoover up the votes that only see the rosette and pretends he’s not wearing it to everyone else.

They reckon flights will take off in ten weeks. Isn't it a teeny-tiny bit late to be inviting applications for a job the involves relocation? I guess they could always pass some primary legislation that declares "ten weeks" is now "six months". ~AA

"Smaller exporters may 'shy away' as Britain becomes more costly and bureaucratic to trade with, leaving consumers facing more expensive produce. 'It’s a disaster for the UK.'" Wonderfully detailed story - a snapshot of something replicated across so many sectors. ~AA
