Moving to a nation you are not a citizen off is not simple. More so when the nation you are a citizen of is consided an agressor to the one you want to visit.
But more to the point. No government can force you to. So even if he could. The UK is required to consider all asylum/refugee claims under his percieved risk at his home nation. It's part of the Geneva convention.
Climate change is man made. Mainly from politicians hot air.
Heck the UK alone has 650 massive methane production plants. Doing nothing useful in Westminster.
Heck if we seal the building. We can either heat London. Or prevent the cuts to disability benefits.
From the left maybe. But this is exactly what Tories did in 2010. Then gained a majority.
A huge part of society just refuses to notice disabled people in society.
From recent memory. 3.6m successfully claim pip. So 2.5 % of population.
But retired or under 18s are not pip elegable DLA still applied there. So above 5% of working population is more likely.
But most PIP claimsents are working. Often because PIP helps covers the every day cost of adaptions they need to live and travel independently. Holding a job down without it would be hard for all but the high paid. And even for them. These benefits reduce the cost to society of being 100% accessable. So removing them is a false economy. Many will need greater support without it. Leading to higher costs for the NHS and other (mainly council run) services.
As we saw very very clearly when the Tories did the same thing creating PIP to make claims for DLA harder for working age adults.
Walks Def. Plus company desire to play. It was known in the 80s that pets reduced blood pressure. Just from spending time.
If you remembered the 80s. You would recognise how daft it sounds to suggest folks are less caring about sexual assault allegations now.
Cool.
Personally I find it easier to picture % of GDP then number. And find exact number less informative. Billions are just to large a number to visualise.
But can understand others may see things differently.
So to add. GDP is the total of all final goods and services purchased in the UK.
So for every £20 you spend on living costs. £1 is expected to go to defence.
For a better comparison. Under £4 goes on VAT as many items are at lower rates.
Either way. It's a pretty huge % of government revenue.
£192 billion is also what the DHSC expects to spend on the NHS for 2024-25.
He may know it. But it is pretty unlikely the gov has one given its trump uncertainty at play. Not to mention the news released on legal opinion.
But no cabinet member is authorised to declare war or not or future attacks on another nation. Without approval of the whole cabinet. So even if he knows it and one exists.
He is in no way authorised to declare it independent of official channels.
And absolutely any journalist in a position to ask that. Knows full well he cannot answer it.
It is absolutely not reasonable. Unless you are intentionally looking for refusal to answer. Because cabinet policy on attacking a 3rd nation is not and has never been released in such an interview. Such things would be officially announced to parliament first. And be an illegal act of treason for any minister to announce in such a way.
Except the law did not ban the treatment she needed.
Don't like her or the law.
But in her case. It was very much the fear of the laws rather then the actual law. That slowed her treatment.
Sorta exactly how what she calls fear mungering predicted it would.
But honestly. It's not exactly impossible that a % of the staff refused to treat due to who she is Vs the staff own political opinions. Good for them. But she dose have a point technically.
Well while she is IMHO a fucking arsehole.
In this case technically her complaint is correct. The Florida law did not ban such treatment. So she should not have had to wait.
And it seems far from impossible her position and public face. Is part of why medical staff questioned the risk.
While I agree with what she calls leftwing fear mungering. IE we should be scared that these laws will lead to doctors scared to operate when needed.
That very opinion and fear or anger at her position is the reason these doctors hesitated.
The minister for armed forces dose not have the authority to make the choice. His responsibility is to manage the forces while the cabinet as a whole advices the PM and or parliament on such choices. Depending on the timelines.
So basically. Asking stupid impossible to answer question Then critical about the lack of answer for clicks. Pretty shitty.
Nods saw it somewhere on social media myself. I have an over eager chihuahua I inherited from an ex.
So gave it a try. Half an hour of doing this he stopped pulling.
I'm far from an expert.
