Dehumanising people who cross the channel has always been at the heart of all Farage's Trojan horses. And now, a Reform government would use "lethal force" against unarmed 'migrants'. The antidote to all that hate is this. People who cross the channel are humans. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cP5J...

Policies to pay the Taliban to take back women and children who have fled Afghanistan, and demanding the military murders unarmed civilians, are only going to get worse as Reform drops any pretence of not being fascist in an attempt to claw back ground. That they are 3rd is still disturbing as hell

Bridget Phillipson MP, Chair of the Labour Party calls the 'lethal force' proposal of Jenrick "disgusting and illegal". "Our armed forces are not going to start opening fire on unarmed civilians, and Reform are dragging their own reputations and credibility into the gutter by suggesting it"

Bridget Phillipson MP, Chair of the Labour Party, responding to Robert Jenrick proposing lethal force be authorised in the Channel, said:

"Robert Jenrick's proposal to use 'lethal force' against asylum seekers in the English Channel is disgusting and illegal. Our armed forces are not going to start opening fire on unarmed civilians, and Reform are dragging their own reputations and credibility into the gutter by suggesting it.

"The truth is that Nigel Farage is authorising ever more extreme positions in order to distract from his own funding scandals and as part of an increasingly vicious bidding war with other parties on the right. Decent people will see right through it and reject this toxic politics of division.

“Labour is showing that we can control immigration and get numbers down with serious action, not by abandoning the asylum system altogether. We have just seen the lowest number of summer arrivals by small boat in 6 years, with 46,000 attempted crossings stopped and 80,000 people with no right to be here removed.”
