The bill is climbing, the small boats keep coming, and somehow the answer from Westminster is to send more money to France. You couldn\u2019t make it up. We\u2019re now staring down the barrel of a migrant deal that\u2019s set to soar past \u00a31.3billion, signed off under Labour, and sold to the public as some form of progress in the battle against the boats.<\/p>\n
Dear reader, let me be clear, I\u2019ve actually been one of the people supporting Shabana Mahmood and giving her credit for her efforts on migration. She\u2019s struck a tougher tone than many in her party and has said the right things. I feel like she\u2019s the only person in government who understands the scale of the crisis facing this country. But paying out more money to the failing French ain\u2019t the answer. Do we really believe that more British taxpayers\u2019 money going to France is going to get them to finally do their job? Er\u2026<\/p>\n

Not intervening. Not stopping it. Just observing while standing in those rather fetching uniforms.<\/p>\n There are repeated reports of French vessels escorting these boats into British waters \u2013 not turning them back, not preventing the crossing, but effectively waving them on their way towards the UK. So forgive me if I\u2019m not exactly brimming with confidence that another cheque is suddenly going to change behaviour that\u2019s been tolerated for years. At what point do we stop paying for failure? If we\u2019re going to keep bankrolling border control on the other side of the Channel, then the deal needs real teeth, not polite diplomatic language and vague promises \u2013 but hard, financial penalties.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a simple idea \u2013 for every single migrant who successfully crosses from France and lands on British shores, France should be fined \u00a31million. Not a token slap on the wrist but a proper, painful financial consequence.<\/p>\n Because right now, where is the incentive for them to act? They get paid regardless. The crossings continue and the UK taxpayer foots the bill. Flip that equation, and watch how quickly priorities change. Suddenly, those beach patrols won\u2019t be so passive and the dinghies won\u2019t be so casually \u201cescorted\u201d towards Britain.<\/p>\n I say this directly to Ms Mahmood: don\u2019t let France off the hook. If we\u2019re paying, we should be seeing results. And if we\u2019re not seeing results, they should be paying us back.<\/p>\n Serial predator tells you everything you need to know about broken system<\/p>\n Romanian national Sebastian Pavel Baltatu was deported from Britain after being found guilty of raping a child. But this vile predator somehow managed to sneak back into the UK and, unbelievably, tried to claim benefits. A convicted child rapist, back on British soil, dipping his hand into the taxpayer\u2019s pocket like he\u2019s entitled to it.<\/p>\n It tells you everything you need to know about how our system is viewed. Not as something to protect the vulnerable or support those in genuine need but as a free-for-all. A money tree.<\/p>\n And let\u2019s not lose sight of the bigger issue here. How on earth is someone capable of committing such a horrific crime not only walking free, but able to return to this country at all? This is exactly why I\u2019ve said it before and I\u2019ll say it again \u2013 we need far tougher measures for sex offenders. Other countries, Denmark, Belgium, Sweden, have already explored chemical castration with trials, and even the UK has too.<\/p>\n We must make it mandatory. And as for that scumbag Baltatu? Well if he\u2019s so determined to be in Britain, then fine \u2013 let him stay. Lock him up, permanently, at His Majesty\u2019s pleasure and let him live out his days on a wing with prisoners who know what he\u2019s in for.<\/p>\n Sorry Nigel, but you can’t have it both ways<\/p>\n Nigel Farage<\/a> now says X is becoming \u201ca very unpleasant and dangerous place,\u201d after racist abuse was aimed at Reform\u2019s ethnic minority candidates. And on that point, he\u2019s right. But let\u2019s not pretend this is some sudden revelation. It was barely a year and a half ago that Farage was more than happy to hitch his wagon to Elon Musk<\/a> and his platform.<\/p>\n Back in December 2024, Farage was praising Musk as \u201ccool\u201d \u2013 the man who could help Reform win over younger voters. Funny how things change when the toxicity lands on your own doorstep. Ironically though, much of the vile abuse aimed at Reform candidates appears to be coming from accounts claiming to be Reform supporters. Not outsiders, but supposedly, their own side.<\/p>\n That\u2019s not just a platform problem then, Nigel, that\u2019s a party problem. If your own supporters are the ones driving the racism, then I\u2019m afraid you\u2019ve got far bigger issues than social media, mate.<\/p>\n I’m baffled by the Green Party’s pitch<\/p>\n
