The Home Secretary says "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world"
That is a factually untrue claim: the Home Office shows that the UK is fifth, getting 1/10 claims, while Germany gets 1/5 claims

So. Mum is on morphine. Which has a binding effect. Confessed this morning that she's been bound for 11 days. Cue rushing her to A&E.
On the way, the laxatives she's been mainlining for 10 days decide to suddenly work. All over my passenger seat.

Oh FFS... Labour seriously?
Asked how happy Keir Starmer is that Tommy Robinson is now backing his asylum plans, his spokesman replies that "the public can tell that the pace and scale of illegal immigration is out of control..."
"We must restore order... or we will lose public consent for giving refuge at all".

There is no evidence that stripping refugees' rights one by one will have any impact on people crossing the channel.
Taking jewellery from refugees is akin to painting over murals for refugee children.
These repugnant ‘deterrents’ did not work for the Tories, and they won't work for us.

At some point we have to stop pretending that Labour’s constant rightward drift is “grown-up politics” and call it out for what it is - governing by flinch.
And if pointing this out gets me into trouble - then trouble can pull up a chair.
