I would drive to Poland, pick up a Ukranian refugee, and happily bring them back to the UK and provide them with food and shelter. I expect thousands of us would. The only thing stopping us is the Home Office.

Boris on good form at the 8am meeting with MPs. Fly was done up, only asked four people for cash, ok he spent the first half of the meeting talking about that treehouse, but the rest was a rousing story about Caligula. Has 2000 MPs backing him now ✅🇬🇧
