Real, intense pressure needs to be put on labour to deal with mass illegal immigration. Daily, nearly every question should be about this as we cannot have our public services and security compromised further. Priority #1.
Get safe and legal routes set up, there is no illegal immigration until these are set up, stupid and incorrect to even state there is illegal immigraton
They've got over 400 seats. Plus a 100 odd more from other pro-immigration parties.
Britain had a chance to say they wanted less immigration, and they voted for more.
Labour don’t mind mass uncheck immigration though. This is well known.
Actually if you look at our current position in this war, we are:
1- Creating an incentive for mass immigration
2- jeopardising national security by supporting an oppressive regime in the region
