David Lammy is 100% British. Born in London. His parents were not english though.

But then again nor were our HOME SECRETARYS parents.

But who cares. David Lammy and Priti Patel are both legally english.

Like our prime minister who is dual nationality American/English (since he was born in New York)

FYI Johnson gave up his US citizenship in 2016.

It seems because the UK doesn't tax its citizens on money they make in another country [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yep. Tax havens are a way of life for mps here. One of the reasons for brexit (among the wealthy)

Boris Johnson has abandoned his “do or die” pledge to leave the E.U. by 31 October and will plead with MPs next week to give him a pre-Christmas general election. Downing Street sources claimed that if MPs rejected Johnson’s request, he would pull the withdrawal agreement bill and continue “campaigning” for a general election every day.

Farmers are being forced to leave millions of apples, and many other fruits and vegetables, rotting in orchards and fields because of a shortage of workers.

One hundred tonnes of fruit has gone unpicked in Britain already this season, meaning more than 16 million apples so far have been left to rot at the peak of harvest season due to a Brexit-led employment slump.

'Farmers are being forced...'

Serious question:

One of the Brexit windfalls was literally that seasonal jobs would once again be open to residents. What went wrong? Could they not hire domestic labour temps? Would it be too expensive? I'm sure through clever marketing plenty of proud Britons would be available?

Is there still time?

I've seen interviews with farmers who have said they just cant keep people motivated for long enough. The work is gruelling and boring. Marketing will get them INTO the job, but it wont keep them.

Circumstance kept a lot of foreign workers busy. Seems a catch 22 anyway. If they have to pay them more to pick the fruit the price of said fruit will increase. There is only so much people will pay for fruit (regardless of if its worth more or not).

People have an expectation of price bred through cheap wages paid by some farmers to migrant workers. The lure of cheap labour is high im sure.

E.U. delays Brexit extension decision as France piles pressure on MPs.

The E.U. will delay its decision on the length of the Brexit extension until next Monday or Tuesday after France piled pressure on MPs ahead of a vote on Boris Johnson’s demand for a pre-Christmas general election. During a meeting of E.U. diplomats, the French ambassador stood alone in arguing that it was not the right time to agree a three-month delay, in a move that will be welcomed in Downing Street.
