She’s written exclusively in The Sun, which I’ve left out the URL field because it’s The Sun. Here’s what she wrote:
We cannot pretend everything is OK. Not when criminal gangs are making millions out of dangerous small boat crossings that undermine our border security and put lives at risk.
We have directed Immigration Enforcement to intensify their operations over the summer, with a focus on employers who are fuelling the trade of criminal gangs by exploiting and facilitating illegal working here in the UK – including in car washes and in the beauty sector.
And we are drawing up new plans for fast track decisions and returns for safe countries.
Most people in this country want to see a properly controlled and managed asylum system, where Britain does its bit to help those fleeing conflict and persecution, but where those who have no right to be in the country are swiftly removed.
Nigel Farage and the Sun are nowhere in that triangle so the government really shouldn’t be kowtowing to their opinions.>
I don’t see where they are kowtowing to Frog Faced Farage.
Then you missed the part where she’s prattling on about illegal immigration and directing Immigration Enforcement to go harass a bunch of small businesses, instead of just making legal immigration easier. We’ve had 14 years of Tory home secretaries creating an insane mess of red tape and bureaucracy as obstacles to an act that ought to be quite simple and practical - Labour need to correct this, not lean into it.
Make legal immigration easier by all means, but that doesn’t mean you automatically give everyone here illegally a free pass. Going after those that exploit those that want a better (and safer) life is the right way to go.
