There are definitely solutions to improve things, Cooper* sounds like she’s got the right idea on some stuff; changing/speeding up appeal process as mentioned yesterday and agreement with France (if it can be ramped up). I think we’ll also club together with those looking to amend (provide...

The EU things a myth. Check the returns under Dublin agreement, very few accepted returns (some years we were also net recipients) Agree about the challenges though and it ain’t gonna get any easier.

Is that purely processing cost or housing, benefits whilst waiting for appeals to be heard (currently 54 weeks) ? It’s as much to act as deterrent and as mentioned we had incurred a significant initial outlay already. That max capacity would probably cover a majority of single males waiting on...

Not sure I’m answering question or not but firstly, as mentioned, Coopers trying to change/accelerate the appeal process. That should relieve a lot of the pressure on the processing side, also the quicker the rejections/returns process, the more likely it will put off economic migrants I’ve...

Meant to put that in quotes, as in those human rights lawyers that have historically have used the ECHR as a backstop for removals of criminals etc. so you’ve got a load of people who’s claims have been validly rejected unable to be removed due to (for want of a better phase) ambulance chasing...

Not sure it’s a case of just throwing more people at it, the problem appears to be the system and that most individuals that get claims rejected are appealing and clogging up the process. There was an interesting article in the times yesterday about Coopers efforts to accelerate and streamline...

I hope not, it’s rejuvenated test cricket in this country. People forget we’d won 1 in 17 before Mccullum and stokes. Yes, plenty of fuck ups etc but also so many memorable moments and games, chasing down scores that was just unheard of before. There’s been a lot of senseless shots but people...

2-2 is fair over the series. We deserved to win this one though, to come back from all those drops, Woakes not batting at all (running doesn’t count) or bowling second innings, Atkinson coming back from injury and still get so close. What a game though

Shocking call by umpire that

Bit harsh though, did well second innings. Any of those catches or a fit Woakes (even just able to bat first innings) and we win

That was a tough call. Didn’t think it was out on first view

Silly. Just leave it the wider ones for a bit

They were just saying that Woakes has been practising left handed in the nets. Then my mate text…. ‘And this… 😳 Jamie Smith was the first guy to come out this morning and one of the shots he was practicing was the scoop’

Been brilliant. Two teams of similar ability, with great players, both with some flaws. Give me this any day over us thrashing one of the weaker teams. Just wish it had been spread out properly to give players time to recover

like root did ! They’re bowling well and haven’t given us anything since tea. Zero pressure….come on

Neither he, nor root could get the ball away after tea. Just build up of pressure and very good bowling. It’s easy for all us sat at home 😂

Indian bowled brilliantly since tea

Pressure !

Just couldn’t get the ball away though. 5 off 31 balls, young lad, pressure etc. I’d have been tempted to have had smith coming in ahead of him to be honest but got to see what players are made of I guess

Lovely touch by rooty with Thorpe headband ! Great innings. Would be fitting if he could see us over the line
