They will win if you repeat phrases like "mass illegal immigration" without thinking. Their tactic is to create a sense of perpetual fear and anxiety and to blame everything on an unseen "other".

Labour has reduced the number of asylum seekers housed in hotels from around 55,000 to 35,000 in just over a year. It has worked with French authorities to manage the flow of arrivals and departees. It has sped up the processing of asylum claims and made it more difficult for foreign workers and students to settle. Per head of population, the UK hosts fewer migrants than most other European countries.

There is no "mass" illegal immigration. That's what Reform and their billionaire backers want you to believe.



Only Labour can stop Reform from winning. They've still got four years. And the best way to do this is to reform the voting system to Proportional Representation. That will no doubt give Reform a sizeable platform in government, but better than them governing unopposed.

@durinsBane1983 Quite true I'm afraid.

In fact, the number of illegals coming by boat is actually less than that. It's more like 1.6%

And Brexit is directly responsible for the increase in small boats. I will try and explain in simple English.

Before Brexit, we were part of the Dublin system. That meant: if someone crossed to the UK by small boat, but they'd already claimed asylum in France, Italy, Germany, wherever, we could legally send them straight back.

Simple. Fast.
Thousands of returns every year.

But when we left the EU in 2020, we left Dublin too.

Now we have no automatic right to return anyone. Every case has to be argued, one by one, and most go nowhere.

This is why small boat numbers have risen so rapidly since 2020. We left Dublin.

So, if you voted for Brexit to stop the boats, remember that you helped to tear up the tool that actually stopped them.

Do you understand?
