  1. 2 things you need to protect your country, 1 is a border and 2 is a military and we currently have both in a dysfunctional state.

  2. Attempt 300 of Labour saying ‘Reform are right, but vote for us anyway’

    Let’s see if this try works out any better than the previous 299.

  3. Something something reforms fault, let’s keep voting starmer

  4. I doubt Britain ever had control to lose control for there is not a great wall around Britain’s coastline

  5. Why can’t the military patrol the borders and just turn them around? I know certain rules don’t allow this, but, why can’t we just bloody do it?!

  6. Trumping to avoid losing votes to the right wing. Just say: BUILD THE WALL and use an orange spray tan.

  7. Another party that is going to lose due to scapegoating immigrants while the actual problems this country are facing are left unaddressed.

  8. Is this really the best messaging you can come up with when you’re supposed to be in control of the borders and your government has been in power for the past 14 months?

  9. She’s somewhat stuck as Starmer cannot negotiate himself out of a paper bag, as we’ve seen on WFA and other policies where he’s failed to herd the party. He’s pinned himself into a corner by acquiescing to Macron’s desires, who has pushed the idea that UK pull factors are to blame. In truth French police know the beaches these boats launch from, and they only have to cover a tiny portion of the coast where the crossing is narrow. If they swallowed their pride and punctured and turned back every boat the problem would stop on both sides within a couple months, but a weak Macron has also lost control of France and doesn’t want migrants to stay either. A tale of two clowns.

  10. And we can’t even prosecute individuals spying for a foreign power…

  11. What does that even mean, exactly?

    Was there some time when Britain was surrounded by a magical force-field that monitored every inch of coastline and prevented unauthorized entry, until it broke down or something?

  12. Didn’t the Tory party try the approach of just repeating Reform rhetoric and then losing the election?

  13. Oh, they are playing their song again..

    “We are going to state the obvious serious problem. Then either do nothing or everything possible to exasperate the concerns.”

  14. …or is it because it becomes a convenient way to distract you from the rest of the fuckery and bullshit they are up to…while you shake your fist and look the other way at a situation they created in the first place
