The Left is finally paying the price for its idiotic belief in open borders

  Middle-class progressives love to welcome illegal immigrants into Britain, right up until they land on their own doorsteps Daily Telegraph 12/08/26 Let me set the scene. No 10 Downing Street. Or possibly No 10 North . “Good morning, Prime Minister. I have good news and bad news. Which would you like first?” “The good news, please.” “There are no more small boats.” “Wow! Fantastic! So what’s the bad news?” “They’ve all been replaced by absolutely bloody enormous boats.” Poor Andy Burnham . This week, his political honeymoon was brutally curtailed by a record-shattering 230 illegal immigrants crossing the Channel in a dinghy the size of a Viking longship. In fact, the dinghy was so huge that The Sun couldn’t fit a photo of it on its front page, and had to run it across its back page, as well. Advertisement Still, we’d better get used to it. Because, in their adorably insouciant manner, the French authorities say we can look forward to plenty more of these mega-dinghies cruising t...

Reform councillor sues NHS for ‘political discrimination’

  Mental health nurse claims he was investigated after campaign video in which he appeared in his uniform Daily Telegraph 11/08/26 A Reform UK councillor is suing the NHS over claims he was discriminated against for his political beliefs. Daniel Matchett, who was elected to Lancashire county council last May, has launched legal proceedings against the health service after he was subjected to a disciplinary investigation for posing in a Reform UK campaign video on social media. Mr Matchett had worked in the NHS as a mental health nurse for more than a decade before standing as a Reform UK candidate in Whitworth & Bacup. However, he was investigated by his employer after appearing in the campaign video wearing an NHS uniform and mentioning his work as a mental health nurse. Mr Matchett was accused of breaching his NHS Trust’s social media policies by filming part of the video on his NHS Trust’s premises. The investigation was launched one day after the video was posted in July 2...

Burnham: Middle-class areas must take more asylum seekers

  PM says he will work to ensure ‘poorest communities’ do not have lion’s share of migrant accommodation Daily Telegraph 11/08/26 Andy Burnham has said middle-class families should “play their part” by accepting asylum seeker accommodation near their homes. The Prime Minister said he would work to ensure that the “poorest communities” did not have to take the lion’s share of accommodation for asylum seekers. Mr Burnham has campaigned against housing asylum seekers in houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) and hotels in working-class areas, including his Makerfield constituency. He refused to commit to stopping small boat Channel crossings by the next election. Mr Burnham told GB News: “I do have to say that we cannot have a situation where it’s only the poorest communities in the country that receive all of the dispersal of refugees and asylum seekers.

The British people are being treated like mugs on illegal immigration

  Will Burnham break with the past and actually listen to voters? Daily Telegraph 10/08/26 It has been a long time since polls expressing increased hostility by British voters towards immigration were a surprise to anyone. Over the weekend a new survey found that the proportion of voters who now believe that immigration has been “mostly bad” for Britain has leaped 10 points in the last decade, from 33 to 43 per cent. The change among those who voted Remain in 2016 has been the most dramatic: among this group, the number who said migration had been bad had risen from 12 to 22 per cent. None of this is surprising, and is in line with other surveys that have found immigration and asylum creeping towards the top of voters’ political priorities.. Today a record 230 people arrived by a single “mega-dinghy ” on Britain’s southern coast, having managed to escape the hellscape of northern France, making a mockery of Britain’s claim to secure borders. All of this is a threat to whichever pa...

  John Bercow has been readmitted to the Labour Party despite being banned from Parliament for life following an investigation into bullying. GB News 08/08/26 The former House of Commons Speaker, who burnt bridges with his ex-Conservative colleagues and sparked Eurosceptic fury during the Brexit years, joined Labour after leaving Westminster.

Burnham presented with post-Brexit plan to rejoin single market

  PM would offer to extend Britain’s nuclear deterrent in exchange for access to EU free-trade zone Daily Telegraph 09/08/26 Britain could rejoin the EU’s single market under a new post- Brexit deal presented to Andy Burnham. In exchange for access to the bloc’s free-trade zone, the Prime Minister would be expected to promise to extend the protection of Britain’s Armed Forces and nuclear deterrent across the Continent. The plan was drawn up by Nick Boles, a former Conservative MP who quit the party in 2019 and helped with Sir Keir Starmer’s preparations for government. It has since been circulated to top government officials, including Jonathan Powell, the national security adviser. Under the proposal, Britain would push for the creation of a “European Confederation”, linking the EU’s free-trade zone with Nato’s defence commitments. Countries such as Ukraine, Switzerland, Norway and the Western Balkan states would also be invited to join. As a member, Britain would pledge to sp...
