Here is anothe labour model for stupidity......We ALL know his take and his brain dead deciples on illegal immigration. Starmer to highlight Labour plans to tackle Channel crossings Starmer is to highlight Labour’s policies to combat small boat crossings by asylum seekers, with the party seeing the issue as a way in which they can address a perceived Conservative advantage on immigration issues, it has emerged. The Labour leader is to meet officials from Europol, the EU’s cross-border law enforcement organisation, in the Hague on Wednesday to discuss his party’s proposals to limit numbers crossing the Channel to the UK unofficially. On Friday, Starmer will travel to Montreal for a conference of centre-left politicians to call for wider cooperation on people trafficking, and to argue that the wider issue of migration cannot be thought of as one purely for rightwing parties. Labour’s proposals, first reported by the Sunday Times, come amid a perception within the party that Rishi Sunak’s government is vulnerable over the issue of small boats, given Conservative policies have thus far failed to reduce the number of crossings.

First there are those who despise devious meally mouthed politicians. Then there are those who despise those who speak their minds, put it all out there and can robustly defend their position. Which do you prefer? I see it this way. Dennis Skinner and Tony Benn could be counted on to speak their mind. I wasn’t impressed with the politics of, nor would i have voted for, either man, but i did feel those who criticised them for speaking against the party line when neither were in cabinet positions deserved a kicking. However, those serving their Brittanic Majesty in the post of a Minister of State should either openly support cabinet decisions - which meant if necessary explaining as a matter of confidence why they had now done a u turn, or if necessary, they should take the honourable course of resigning the post on the grounds they could not support the cabinet decision. Many honourable members have taken that path with honour. I have always held this view. Back in the 70’s fate delivered me the opportunity to tell Benn that to his face. He took it very well i thought.
