Boris Johnson's 'secret Irish border plans' dismissed as non-starter

Report cites leaked proposals for clearance areas 5-10 miles from border and real-time tracking of goods

Végre egy igazán tökéletes ötlet. Legyenek határellenőrző pontok 10-15km-re a határtól és akkor elmondhatjuk, hogy a határon nincs is ellenőrzés, tehát nem vagyunk a GFA ellen!

Conservative Conference off to a good start

The app specifically designed to log conference membership has resulted in a massive data leak.

Some people have been able to log onto the app as high-profile Tory MPs and have obtained personal phone numbers and other information.

This is the party that says they’ll introduce a ‘high-tech’ solution to the Northern Irish border issue.

What a fucking shambles.

Saw a bit of the Conservative Conference here in the UK and Esther McVey straight up said that all the stuff about Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payments killing people because of how shitty those two benefits are was "fake news"

Fake. News.

Fake. NEWS.

FAKE. NEWS.

I want to fucking scream. This is not okay. She's using Trump's favourite phrase to discredit EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON UC AND PIPS AND THOSE WHO HAVE DIED BECAUSE OF THE TORY SYSTEM

This bitch is the Disability minister basically. She's meant to be doing her best to HELP people like me and people on benefits in general.

Instead she's making out all the EVIDENCE THAT CLEARLY SHOWS UC AND PIPS ARE BAD AND KILLERS is just fake, sensationalist claims that should be ignored.

This is the Conservative government in a nutshell.

They're trying to kill off the poor and disabled for their own benefit.

And they're wrapping it up in "fake news".

This is the effect Trump is having on the rest of the world.

I want to fucking die.

A knighthood to be given to the man who handed the PM her P45, please.
