Australian is a Murdochism. No nonsense, no pooftahs, no mucking about. Cut the crap and get shit done. Etc.

Another sighting of Rishi Freeport.

If I understand it, freeports are not bothering with if you have to obey EU state aid rules. You need to obey EU state aid rules to have a trade deal.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

There's something about Sunak that unnerves me. Whenever he's on the TV his stare and smile really gives me the shivers. He has the presence of a robot or a person without a soul and I imagine dogs bark at him when he goes past.

[Tubby Isaacs]

I think Sterling may feel the same way.

Here's Truss getting put right on freeports...

[Tubby Isaacs]

Freeports are about the only smart-sounding "Brexit opportunity" they've managed to find. I don't know if we're going to get a couple knocked up for appearances sake in symbolic places (Grimsby?) or whether they'll get forgotten.

[The Red Arrow]

When the government wants someone to lie for them, Sunak is top of the list these days.

I'll leave these here - be warned, the Sky News one is a gammon magnet. I'm warming to Nadia Whittome, though.

hey, guess who's top pick for chancellor now Javid has walked?

Not to defend the shitshow racist posturing of deporting people without legal advice who are the UK's responsibility, but that isn't the best argument by Rosen.

Jamaicans are spectacularly overrepresented in prison. I just found the figures for 31 December 2018, couldn't see more recent ones.

Total for Australia, Canada and New Zealand 32
Jamaica 479

Lots of the Jamaicans will be drug importers. We can certainly argue about those drug laws (and the role of race in how society sees drugs) but while they exist it's not surprising that lots of Jamaican nationals get sent to jail for longer than 12 months and deported afterwards.

[The Red Arrow]

Yes, I saw the over-representation of blacks in prison up close. I doubt that it's changed much since my day.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Were you working at the Verne, if you don't mind me asking? I used to work in Prison Service HQ and was involved with deporting lots of people from there on release. Jamaican drug mules were, I'd guess, well over half the people deported
