Immigration and international aid are good things. Don’t believe me? Take one look at Spain.
Yes, challenges exist but the mutual benefits for Spain and neighbouring African nations are undeniable. The UK should adopt a similar approach.

The whole point of human rights law is that the Government can be held to account when they breach people's rights.
If the Home Secretary doesn't like it, that's why she needs to hear it.

Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.

Unemployment has climbed to its highest level since the pandemic.
Socialist economic policies that have the wellbeing of people at their heart would create jobs for workers.
But we’ve seen the opposite from Labour.
It’s never been clearer that Labour has abandoned its working-class roots.

There is more than enough wealth in this country to end poverty and fund our NHS.
Communities have been punished by decades of Tory and Labour cuts, whilst the super-rich have hoarded Scotland's wealth.

7.5 million people in the UK already live in food poverty, and food prices are spiralling with inflation.
Price protections can help ensure people are able to feed their families. The UK government must work with supermarkets to ensure prices are affordable.
