    1. A story you won’t see in the torygraph, the Mail or GBNews and won’t get anywhere close to the attention of the man child musk making pathetic comments.

      Reform voters: “where’s the proof that I will deny when presented anyway”

    3. “b-b-but master nigel said the dinghys are out of control and starmer hates whites!!!!1!1!1!!!”

      16,400 in 6 months. Lmao. Right. Come back to me when that’s the average figure over two days of deportations.

      16400 lol, just only a petty 16400…. 🤣 well maybe in 500 years at this pace we’ll see some changes

    6. Classic Tony Blair- look proles, government works again when my puppet is in control.

      Digital ID and CBDC just around the corner no doubt.

    7. Did they send them back to the beaches in France to try again ? Is this another failed pledge or misleading article . “Government removes highest number of illegal migrants in 5 years “ but they just haven’t done it yet. After everything this and previous governments have failed to do we need to see proof .

      Love how both labour voters and tories care so much about deporting migrants. Really shows the rightward shift of labour over the years. But then again, labour was always an opportunistic organisation that serves only the capitalist class. Migrants aren’t the reason we’re experiencing a cost of living crisis at the moment, but yeah, sure, put the focus on them to distract from the rotting system we have in place that allows CEOs to earn as much money as an average worker earns in a *year*, in the span of a week.

      Assuming Labour stays on this trend of deportations they’ll do about 30k – 35k a year which would be about 150k – 160k when the next election comes.

      If they can do this *and* bring down the legal migration numbers ( 700k – 900k ) to something a *LOT* more reasonable then this country will be in a much better situation.

    10. Conservatives actually blow my mind jfc. Tories don’t lift a finger to actually solve the issue for a decade and a half while constantly banging about it at every opportunity. Labour, for whom it isn’t a major issue among their voting base, does something about it and they’re still the problem. Unreal…

      “The opposition” is a job title, not an ideological position. They have to oppose even when they don’t want to. It’s their job to. So when people vote expecting the opposite, that is because they didn’t understand the system.

    12. It’s good, but it’s still only scratching the surface, and they’re all easy cases e.g. Albanians or visa overstayers. We still need to find a way to deter and remove people who are entering the country illegally.

      But, like I say, good progress and getting the asylum processing moving quicker (without just making it a rubber stamp acceptance) and improving the tracking down and removal of people who overstay or should never have got in is a good step forward.

      Its a good first stepat least. Still got hundreds coming cross the channel daily so it won’t have a massive impact but assuming they keep it up then that’ll be great. Deport all foreign criminals would be great.

    14. New government stops old government plans spunking away billions on nothing, actually spends money doing stuff. 4.5 more boring years, please.

      It’s mad how the left and right are still at each others throats over this. If politics wasn’t dominated by disingenuous squabbling from both sides I feel like Parliament would function way better. Tories take the L on this one, big W for Starmer.
