Mr Taylor argued Tony Blair’s open borders policy has “absolutely ruined our country” in a heated rant over the impact of the former Prime Minister's legacy on the UK. The political commentator took particular issue over Mr Blair's stance on the European Union, claiming he “wanted to be the president" of the bloc.  He claimed after he stressed “what we’re seeing right now in the UK are the consequences of what he did” as Prime Minister.

How many ineffectual Prime Ministers have there been since Tony Blair disappeared off on his book tour?

The Conservatives have been in power for way too long (thanks to Corbyn and McDonnell) and successive Tory cabinets have skewed everything in favour of their party's advantage and their personal gain.

Can't really blame Corbyn. He was completely assassinated by the media. Made out to be a terrorist sympathiser, racist, Commie. It was insane, all because he was an actual left wing Labour politician.

I honestly hate being ruled by Tories. Absolutely hate them and everything they stand for. And all the idiot voters who vote for them against their own interest, all because they eat up the xenophobic ****e from the tabloids really aren't much better at all, are a bunch of ****s as well.

I mean how impressive is it that you can convince the average working man to vote for a party that represents almost exclusively the elite and rich.

Pensioners will lose out again after the new wage demands in response to inflation. Everyone else will get more, even if the Triple Lock is restored next April (and I am not sure it actually will be) as wage demands will continue. Pensioners can't strike. And there is getting to be more of them compared to people of working age.

Airport with worst delays last year rewarded chief executive with nearly 200k pay rise

Nick Barton, the CEO of Birmingham Airport, received a pay rise of 49 per cent in 2021, taking his annual wage from £399,000 to £595,000, according to the BBC.

Yet departures from the West Midlands airport were the worst in the country in the same year, with flights an average of 12 minutes and 24 minutes late taking off, figures from Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) reveal.
