Labour’s migration approach reeks of complacency – is it any wonder there is such widespread public fury?

Justified fury IS it any wonder that there is such widespread public fury at Britain’s broken borders? It suits ministers to dismiss the protests in Portsmouth this weekend as “thuggery”, pointing to the participation of some masked yobs. But the anger of decent, law-abiding folk IS rising.

But the Chancellor’s first speech yesterday delivered more of the same gruel served up for two years by his predecessor Rachel Reeves. Most read in The Sun Moaning about Britain paying the “Truss penalty” is an increasingly tired act, especially as the cost of Government borrowing is HIGHER under Labour. Burnham and Healey look set to make the same fundamental mistake as Reeves and Keir Starmer: borrowing more while doing nothing to cut welfare. Yesterday, Jaguar Land Rover confirmed 4,000 job losses and hedge fund tycoon Chris Rokos — who paid £330MILLION in tax last year — quit Britain for good. Healey’s pledge to make “Great Britain, Growth Britain” won’t ever be more than a meaningless slogan while Labour taxes everything in sight.
