The alarming 29% rise in Channel crossings since Labour came to power is a stark indictment of their weak and misguided approach to illegal migration.

More than 23,000 migrants have made the dangerous journey since they scrapped the Conservative government’s Rwanda scheme.

This surge isn’t just a statistic. It represents thousands of lives put at risk by Labour’s inability to tackle the people-smuggling gangs profiting from human misery.

They have lost control of the borders and these criminals are exploiting desperate migrants, packing them into flimsy dinghies powered by inadequate engines. The result? More than 70 lives tragically lost this past year alone.

It’s not “weak and misguided”.

It’s intentional.

Same thing here.

There’s a great Brit on youtube who calls himself “Black Belt Barrister” (a “barrister” in Britain is a lawyer).He posts about current events in British politics and he doesn’t seem to be a big fan of Starmer. Anyone with free time should check him out.

Whutta laff

Labore lost the English public a long time ago

So he needs to import his voting bloc

Or maybe just pass out ballots in Rwanda
