Burnham MUST have stomach to defeat leftist Labour mob who put virtue-signalling on migrants above public safety

Read the mood YOU would think the universal disgust at the Home Office’s shameful leaflet politely asking illegal migrants kindly not to rape women and girls would shake Labour MPs out of their complacency. But fantasist backbenchers STILL want to force Shabana Mahmood to water down her wider migration crackdown.

That’s not racist, it’s common sense. Sign up for The Sun newsletter Thank you! It’s also why today, former Labour Home Secretary Alan Johnson warns if the Government caves in to around 90 of its own Labour MPs, furious voters will turn to other parties. The public mood of rage is clear. READ MORE FROM THE SUN SAYS It’s also why Mahmood is responding by now looking again at plans to deport illegals to a third country for their asylum claims to be processed. Labour once did everything in its power to block the Tories’ Rwanda scheme, before Sir Keir Starmer stupidly axed it on day one in power. So if her own party can force her to climb down over her proposals to make it harder for legal migrants to settle here, what chance does Mahmood have of getting through the tough deterrent badly needed for illegal migrants? Will Andy Burnham have the stomach to help her take on the leftist mob who put their virtue-signalling above public safety? Most read in The Sun Ship of fools BRITS pay some of the highest electricity prices in the world. Our creaking National Grid operates under threat of blackouts at any time thanks to unreliable renewables. Our national debt stands at almost £3TRILLION. So what is Andy Burnham considering? Spending billions on a massive ship with a likely huge carbon footprint to store MORE imported liquefied gas. Wouldn’t it be better to open up new drilling at the Jackdaw and Rosebank North Sea reserves instead? That would give the UK more energy security and our own gas could be flogged on the markets, improving our current trade deficit. Just a thought, PM. Tax freeze CAN there be a better example of Government madness than taxpayers funding the energy bills of civil servants who choose to work from home? Presumably, working families also have to pay for the upkeep of HMRC’s half-empty offices, too? Pay rises for public sector workers massively outstrip those in the private sector yet their productivity is so bad it costs the country £80billion a year. But don’t expect this to be fixed any time soon because Angela Rayner claims it isn’t a problem. So that’s alright then. Comment now
