Political Commentator Samuel Sweek argues that migrants housed at military sites are being monitored and that greater integration could contribute to the economy and wider society.

Andy Burnham reacts to DEVASTATING Stourbridge fires as homes GUTTED: “Never seen anything like it”
Andy Burnham has visited families in Stourbridge after seeing the scenes of houses devastated by fires.
The Prime Minister outlined his plans to support those affected by the destruction, as he issued a temporary ban on the sale of disposable barbecue.
The ban comes into force today.
Speaking about the fires in Stourbridge, he said: “I’ve never seen anything like it. I mean, I dealt with wildfires in Greater Manchester, but nothing on this scale. I’ve never seen scenes like this in Britain, where you just see a whole house gutted, smouldering.
“And I met one of the families whose house had gone up in that in that way, so you can imagine how distressing that is for for them, and you feel for them and their kids, and not to go elsewhere.
“You know, it’s just unbelievably devastating for people in this in this position. So that’s why I’m here. I just wanted to show that, you know, we’re on the ground.
“We understand how difficult this is for everybody, and we will put in place the support to help people get back to where they should be as soon as possible.”

Mark Littlewood says “we now live in gaslit Britain” after it emerged the Home Office published a guide for illegal migrants on how “not to rape women”.
It is just one of the resources available in a collection titled: “Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK: a guide for asylum seekers”.
Posters and information on rape, the age of consent and child abuse are among the guides to help asylum seekers “understand what is expected when living in the UK”.
The guidance highlights child rape is illegal “even if they look older” or if “it is allowed in another country”.
Speaking to Patrick Christys on GB News, political commentator Mark Littlewood said: “This pamphlet is extraordinary. And the reason I find it so extraordinary and disturbing is if you need that pamphlet, I don’t want you anywhere near my country.”
A Home Office spokesperson told GB News: “We expect everyone who comes to the UK to abide by our laws.
“If they do not, they will face consequences, including the refusal of their asylum claim and removal from the UK.
“Returns of failed asylum seekers have reached their highest level since 2010 under this Government.”

Tiffany Marie Brannon has urged Britain to introduce a burqa ban after Portugal did so.
Portugal has banned face-coverings in public in a measure widely seen as a “burka law” targeting Muslim women.
President António José Seguro signed into law a bill that originated with the hard right-wing Chega party.
The policy was adopted by Lisbon in July with votes from the right-wing governing coalition and the hard right, while left-wing parties voted against it.
Speaking on The Late Show Live on GB News, Tiffany Marie Brannon argued that the issue raises wider questions about integration, cultural identity and the role of religious dress in British public life, as the debate over face coverings continues to divide opinion.

Raising interest rates is to try bring down demand. This inflation is caused by supply chain issue, Ukraine war, corporate profiteering. Apart from the initial increase of demand when we came out of lockdown, demand is less than that pre pandemic at the moment. There's not much the bank of England can do in this situation. This inflation must be tackled by our politicians. We importing inflation because we don't produce our own energy and food. We have to make heavy investments now to start producing our own food and energy.

The Central Banks should be abolished. All of them. Private bankers that control our currency. ‘Give me control of a country’s money and I care not who makes its laws’ JP Morgan.
Why is the target inflation rate 2%? It’s a arbitrary figure where the government can steal purchasing power from its people’s without them protesting.

Increase in interest rates normally lead to Increased Cost Factors which cause inflation to go up and businesses who must cover costs, find that they Have to charge more due to Salaries and overhead costs increases. This has a knock-on effect to the consumer who must pay out more, and just starts a spiral effect in the system. It is not because more money has become available, rather that People need to earn more to be able to pay for the essentials which they must pay for every day. This will cause the increase in the inflation rate and then the banks want to raise the interest rates to bring inflation under control. This shows that they have not looked at the macronomics of the country to trty and sort things out.

It's an interesting thesis but entirely nonsensical as you very well know. Inflation is fought in one way and that is to make people poorer to cut demand. The only way to do that for a central bank is to increase interest rates. Bringing democracy into the equation won't work because people won't vote to be poorer.

This gives you some idea what the rest are like, You have Coffey and Gove,, My god you would not trust them to be lollipop ladies. This upper class idiot pushed for brexit,,, Every single thing he said was wrong,, Not lies, hes not clever enough to lie; We now are the worst performing country in the G7,, Bungling boris and jaded jacob, have glossed over that with absolutely no shame, and just like tony blair, despite being caught out being totally incompetent and incapable of telling the truth, still feel the need to comment on other incompetent people,,, Instead of giving them pensions and knighthoods when they finish fucking up the country, we should make them pay for all the damage they cause, In blairs case tried and executed for crimes against humanity,, If I killed one person For not having WMD, I would go to prison, Blair was the main supporter of pro israel bush,(iraqs enemy) that lead to up to one million deaths,, mostly innocent people, led to instability in the middle east,, Now israel has the nerve to ask for help to get rid of another of their enemies Iran, Stupid sunak is defending this nazi and the labour party is so scared of being called antisemitic they join in. Come back mrs thatcher all is forgiven,, I dont care that you are dead, you would still be better than this shower

We are meant to be a market economy. There is no place in a market economy for a feature of a command economy – namely a central bank. Interest rates should be set by supply and demand, like any other price. Of course interest rates are wrong. Central planners always are. Same with the money supply. A central bank (and the state in general) should have no role in providing money.

Yes, interest rates should have been raised a long time ago. This might well have prevented ridiculous house price rises, and the rent rises that go with them. As for the pathetic 0.25% rise a couple of days ago. It was like trying to put out a raging inferno by pissing on it. An absolute minimum rise of 0.5% should have been applied.

Liar, quantitative easing was not at all a sensible procedure. Never was. And it was not the BOE (which simply followed the US Fed like a donkey) which was the cause of the printed money entering the economic system, It was injected by GOVERNMENT which spent billions and billions of sterling into the economy, relying on the ridiculously low interest rates so that the cost of its own deficit was minimal and ignoring the inevitable rise in interest rates which had to come as the only means of reducing inflation. Even now at 4.5% , those rates are not high enough to reduce inflation which is going to continue.Pull the other one that the BOE is independent of politics. Sick of hearing from these damned politicians not taking the blame for their own actions.There is a simple rule.GOVERNMENTS CAUSE INFLATION.

What's the point of The Bank of England putting the brakes on the economy through interest rates when the main driver for inflation has been fuel costs, which will continue to fall. I don't suppose lenders will be too fed up about it though.

The setting of interest rates is an overtly political act which should be carried out by those politically responsible who can be removed at a General Election. I always hoped after the Brexit vote that decisions on interest rates would be moved back to the Treasury so that a democratically elected person in the Chancellor of the Exchequer could be responsible for the decision. Then if we don't like the decisions we can change the Chancellor. What we have is a Globalist Technocratic system which does not work for this country that we have already roundly rejected at a referendum. Moving interest rate setting back to the Treasury is part of the Brexit agenda and always was part of that agenda. Can we please get on with it?
