I’m old enough to remember when calling for “Mass Deportations” was a fringe position in Westminster, despite their popularity with the electorate.
But now, thanks to the “Very Online Right”, every party and their mother is competing with one another to propose the most credible plan on the issue.
On Monday, Keir Starmer announced new policies to reduce net legal migration, and try to deport illegal immigrants and failed asylum seekers.
Labour are fudging the numbers to boast about how, between 5 July 2024 and 22 March 2025, both enforced and voluntary returns were up by 11% (24,103, up from 21,807).
Far from a liability, immigration restrictionism is now a vote-winning position.
Starmer posted on X shortly before his press conference that “The Tories ran an immigration system that relied on cheap foreign labour instead of investing in British workers. That betrayal ends now.”
But will it?
This week on Tomlinson Talks, we discuss the details of Keir Starmer’s seeming-rightward turn on immigration; plus the men arrested for owning “Brexity” books and charged for offending Islam as an institution; and the new report which proves that Keir Starmer, the media, and the Police lied about the protests following the Southport murders.
