The public is being misled.

Small boat arrivals make up 5% of immigrants arriving but take up 100% of the debate.
Thanks, Zack, for speaking the truth. It's something sorely lacking in any discussions about migration.

No other party says the basic truth: migration is good for Britain.
The real problem? Inequality, soaring bills, underfunded public services.
That’s driven by the greed of the super rich and the Labour government who serve them - not by migrants.
