Borders chief can’t name a way Brexit has helped UK control its borders

Has Brexit produced any tangible benefits? No.

Has Brexit made anything cheaper or less complicated? No.

Are we going to reverse it instead of sleepwalking into oblivion? Also no.

Of course he can’t, because it hasn’t. At least you can tell he’s not a Reform voter, because he didn’t lie about it.

It has introduced border control with Europe. This means that it has stopped people being able to board flights with a stolen EU ID card (as opposed to the easier to spot genuine passport). It has also stopped those living here illegally using EU ID cards (as proof of right to work, right to rent, access to benefits etc.)

It has also made it more difficult for people to sponsor sham marriages under EEA rules. This was incredibly common with Eastern European women sponsoring student overstayers. They now have to apply under Appendix FM which has more requirements.

However, the EUSS route was incredibly generous and it allowed people to sponsor family members they never would have otherwise.

Unfortunately, we closed a window and opened 3 doors for absolutely no good reason at all, other than Boris being totally clueless about how many people would apply under the loosened visa routes.

Brexit is like a great unlocked iron gate that has had it’s hinges removed by order of The Government. It will never work so long as our own Government does not want it to work.

Borders chief is a Labour person? Well of course he can’t because he doesn’t support it

Brexit installed an extra system which requires T1 clearance for goods in and out of the channel. This is a documented paper trail and checks should have been heightened to prevent illegals on the back of Lorries

Now what Brexit should have provided isn’t the same as what the government have chosen to implement. I don’t even believe Boris was a leaver but instead jumped on the bandwagon to become PM which is the ultimate goal of every London mayor

The leaver was Jeremy Corbyn as a matter of fact but he had no choice but to tease the remainers to vote for him. Because Boris played the leaver card so well.

There should be more checks and more prevention of people coming here without proper paperwork or illegally… but I suspect as border chief, the truth is he’s not doing his job properly

Blaming Brexit is easy way for a person who blames everyone else for his own failure at his job, much like most of the Labour government

He should be sacked. Since he’s failed to secure the border.. Brexit has nothing to do with it. Brexit should have equated to a hard border stopping all illegal migration but that clearly isn’t something he implemented. He just don’t like Brexit so it’s Brexits fault

Two words and the second is off

If he’s the chief and he can’t even play devils advocate and name some benefits then should he be in that role
