You Held Power For 14 Years...

...so why didn't you hold one?

Sir John Hayes, a former Tory security minister, said the PM needed to tackle the issue head on by setting out how he intends to stop small boat Channel crossings while also reducing net legal migration from the 685,000 it hit last year. He said: 'There's been too much immigration in this country for too long and a huge proportion of the population knows that. So there are underlying tensions, fears and problems. And now that the thuggery and crime seems to have abated, we need to have a measured national conversation about that and I'm amazed that that's not recognised by the Government.'

It clearly wasn't recognised by yours, was it? All we got from you was a ridiculous attempt to enrich an African nation at the British taxpayer's expense. 

It emerged this week that 4,000 small boat migrants have reached Britain since Labour came to power and scrapped the Rwanda deportation scheme. The figures appear to show that former PM Rishi Sunak was right when he claimed that migrants were 'queueing up' in Calais waiting for a Labour government to scrap the Tories' flagship immigration policy.

I very much doubt the sort of people coming across the channel in small boats are keen UK politics watchers. 

Last night Sir Keir chaired his third COBRA meeting of the week, where he reportedly told officials the country needs to remain on 'high alert'.

But not for small boat illegals, I guess... 

After Scotland Yard launched a series of dawn raids yesterday morning, chief Sir Mark Rowley said: 'What I want to make really clear is those we've arrested aren't protesters, patriots or decent citizens. They're thugs and criminals.'

And Labour Party councillors, don't forget!
