Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

Johnson on X

Jeez. By now even Larry the cat knows it was Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal which caused the skyrocketing number of small boat crossings in the English Channel

The balaclava blackshirted thugs are a result of a decade of politicians, tabloids and the broadcast media telling racists they have "legitimate concerns." The normalisation of actual fascism rhetoric and action has led to this and is a far greater "legitimate concern" than any migrant on a boat.

Reform say they'll force school children to sing hymns. Only 5% of Britons go to church. So what we have here is a religious minority forcing their wishes on the majority, and refusing to integrate with Britain's culture. They should go and live somewhere else. According to Reform.

The nightingale hospital in Birmingham cost £106 million and didn't treat a single patient. We had no trained staff, because for decades we prioritised tax cuts for "wealth creators" (aka wealth hoarders) over investing in our country. Hospitals. Schools. Roads. Prisons. This is the result.
