Can Sir Keir Starmer truly look voters in the eye and promise them he will stop the boats?
Barge trolls
IS there any difference between Labour and the army of left-wing lawyers fighting to defeat the Tories at every turn on migration?
Can Sir Keir Starmer truly look voters in the eye and promise them he will stop the boats?
Does anyone really think a Labour-run Home Office would suddenly start deporting thousands of illegal migrants?
On the evidence so far the answer would have to be No.
Labour has backed every legal action against the Rwanda policy and branded it cruel.
Starmer’s stormtroopers have voted 70 times against the Government on migration.
Large numbers of Labour MPs — including their leader — have signed letters to try to stop deportation flights.
The party is way out of step with the public when it says housing migrants on barges isn’t reasonable.
And it has been silent on protests outside the Bibby Stockholm by the Care4Calais brigade.
Corrupt lawyers are making a fortune from coaching illegal migrants on how to make successful asylum applications.
Yet there has been little or no condemnation of this from the Left.
That’s because their only approach to anyone who suggests Britain should control its borders — or crack down on dodgy solicitors — is to accuse them of being a right-wing ideologue.
Labour’s tribalism on this issue runs deep and long.
Whose side are they really on?
Hit brake, PM
FURTHER proof that The Sun’s Give Us A Brake campaign is bang on the money.
Support for a ban on new petrol and diesel motors by 2030 has plummeted among the public.
There is a growing recognition that the country is just not ready for the mass switch in less than seven years.
Electric vehicles remain a poor — and pricey — substitute for traditional cars.
The Government should be honest about the situation and recognise the obvious problem.
Far worse to ignore it now — only to pay the price later.
Bite the bullet, Rishi, and delay the deadline.
Wokes guilty
HAVE the woke officials who dreamed up a language guide for magistrates ever spent a day in court?
They are over-crowded, over-stretched, depressing merry-go-round places full of accused criminals trying to pull the wool over the Bench’s eyes.
There are vastly more important things for magistrates to concentrate on than avoiding causing marginal offence.
Like making sure those who break the law are properly sentenced.
