As 1,200 migrants crossed the Channel in a single day – a brand new report – Keir Starmer’s pledge throughout final yr’s normal election seems to be emptier than ever.
More than 14,600 unlawful migrants have now efficiently landed on our shores this yr. That’s up 30% on the identical level final yr.
The drawback obtained so unhealthy over the weekend that the Coastguard needed to ask fishing boats to help a yacht and kayaks in bother as a result of the Border Force had been too busy rolling out the purple carpet to those unlawful migrants.
Now, these 1,200 undocumented people might be readily dispersed in lodging throughout the nation. No vetting, no checks, and all on the expense of the British taxpayer.
If you thought Rishi Sunak, Boris Johnson and the Conservatives had been clueless on these crossings, Keir Starmer is displaying us that we haven’t seen something but.
In 2020, Nigel Farage rightly stated that we have to declare a nationwide safety emergency on this matter. He was ignored. But, as with most issues, it seems he was proper.
The solely method that we will put an finish to this invasion is to go away the ECHR. Without doing so, lefty activist legal professionals will proceed to frustrate the system.
Unfortunately, we now have a authorities that’s weak, cowardly, and extra involved with retaining overseas courts comfortable than defending our nationwide pursuits.
