One hopes that by now everybody and his brother have learnt to scrutinize what this government does and not what it says.

So it is early days yet and one must not forget that the Valenzia report was used as a tool before it was published but sat on rather than used to improve things.

One has to be in a coma not to realize that we have been inundated with marketing and hype and very little action.

In reply to A. Muscat is in favour of pushing back migrants to Libya, and Manuel did his best and obliged gladly.

In reply to Betty. Don't hedge your bets on the new minister, after all he lies in bed with the rest of them.

I think Don Manuel’s first formal meeting with NGOs who work with asylum seekers was just after the pushback drama.

I was told that the first thing he said to them was that he will not discuss that, but would stick to his agenda.

His criminal lawyer mentality and style of running things showed clear.

At least Carmelo Abela should know more about people management, though he has yet to prove himself.

Simple. You’ve got no human rights unless you’re one of his criminal clients.

And Muscat insisted on keeping him as a minister. Shame on you, prime minister.

Does this mean Norman Lowell will break off his support?
