This is spot on. Farage doesn’t want to stop the boats… yet… They’re his daily ‘Breaking Point’ poster made flesh… His political strength relies on the hatred, prejudice and disinformation he can whip up on beach watch. Humane solutions scare the hell out of him. @adamboulton.bsky.social The iPaper

Don't be fooled - Farage doesn't actually want to stop the boats

Flanked by the Emmanuel Macron, President of France, Sir Keir Starmer boasted that
the Government was taking action while others were "taking pictures". No prizes for he was referring to.
That very day, Nigel Farage was out on the briny with a GB News film crew, fishing for mackerel while observing French coastguards shepherding the handover of 78 migrants from their "rib" inflatable to the safety of Dover-bound UK Border Force.
"We are witnessing a crime yet everyone seems happy," Farage almost chortled. Yet the leader of Reform UK seemed happiest of all. Far from stopping the boats, Farage needs them to keep coming if he is to achieve his ambition of becoming the next British Prime Minister.
Waterborne migrants have been
his most spectacular political recruiting sergeants ever since he began taking videos off the south coast back in May 2020.
In their various manifestations
- Ukip, Brexit, Reform UK - the parties Farage leads are always been negative, destructively focussed. They aim to exploit widespread dissatisfaction with the state of the world. The solutions they offer are sketchy and impractical.
For once the Prime Minister slotted one past Farage at Prime Minister's Questions this week:
"He has no interest in fixing the problem because he wants to milk it and exploit it. That's the truth about him and his party."
Farage's strategy is to blame anyone he can…..

Reform UK's interests are best served by denouncing and stuffing up any productive collaboration with allies in Europe or more broadly. Reform
UK has yet to produce its
definitive policy on immigration.
This side of a general election
Farage knows that Reform UK's best option is to sabotage the Government's gradualist, co-operative efforts to turn the tables, helping to ensure that the boats keep coming.

Vance comes to Munich and lectures Europe on free speech but fails to mention Russia, where free speech gets people murdered. What should have been an important address about conflict is used to push an agenda to Europe's far right. Nobody should trust a word said by his administration.

Prime Minister Chamberlain gave bits of Czechoslovakia to Hitler in 1938. The Czech government was not in the room. Hitler went and took the rest of it anyway. Peace in our time? You can never make a deal with murderous dictators.
