In a stunning move, TORY leader, THERESA MAY called a general election to crush the HARD LEFT. 
But the unelectable JEREMY CORBYN, with the support of MOMENTUM, fought back, devastating the Tories. 
Now in a hung PARLIAMENT and unable to secure a majority, May has allies in the dreaded orange DUP, to continue her plans to ruin the country. 
But even as BREXIT looms, the ABSOLUTE BOY has given us hope... 

(Imagine the above floating off into a star field, set to a John William's score.)

Grayling put the government on the hook for every single rail franchise getting a bailout just before Christmas and the papers are after him so what Dacre wants, Dacre gets. The others i'm not sure about, but its not the first time shes taken a walk on a holiday and decided to do something monumentally self destructive.

She believes getting to the next stage of EU talks (or thereabouts) gives her the leverage she needs to CRUSH THE SABOTEURS.

More likely she's just figured she can't pass anything controversial anyway, and they aren't going to collapse the government over it, so she might as well try to reclaim a bit of authority. It could still backfire.

Daily Mail has the story that students are almost certainly going to be removed from the immigration figures as soon as the government brings an immigration bill, since they don't have the numbers to stop an amendment to that effect.

So this will mean the immigration figures will drop hugely? Or am I reading that wrong?

the daily mail version is the diploma mill scandals + a conviction that "students" were, are, and will be a deliberate trick by The Establishment to inveigle more funny foreigners into their neighbourhoods

the telegraph version is the realization that once the students are here, it is much harder to assemble the political will to kick them out when they graduate

Students are foreigners, and therefore bad, and therefore should be thrown off the cliffs of Dover. That's about as far as the thought process went I expect.

You mean immigrants aren't just filling up Great Britain, they're actually displacing Englishmen from their native soil?
