With recent rhetoric and in particular the labour gov stifling debate generally among its own MPs my level of trust is marginal.This at least forces a proper debate on the matter. And undocumented people won&#8217;t have them anyway so it seems a bit pointless.

Good fun and a decent stage too. Situation normal really. Funny dream. I had a long chat with HM Liz 11. She was making jokes and did a couple of funny impersonations. We were in a run down canteen\/OAP lounge or similar. No idea where that one came from. Not being remotely a royalist that is kind of strange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Digital ID. Nope not a fan at all.
