Police have launched a manhunt after a former asylum seeker who sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl was mistakenly released from prison.
Ethiopian national Hadush Kebatu, who arrived in the UK on a small boat, was jailed for 12 months over the attack in Epping, Essex, last month.

Do you think the uk population will forgive Nigel fartage selling off the nhs & having an insurance based system? Will women happily allow him to stop a woman’s right to choose?
Personally i certainly won’t forgive his mother for birthing him!

I think by the time we have a GE that it will be between Reform and the Green Party.

Labour won’t do as pledged ‘smash the gangs’ of course that was entirely spin.

There's been a massive, massive redeployment of the UK's intelligence agencies to tackle the trafficking gangs. An absolutely monumental shift in priorities.

I’m not sure what you are indicating here, that there has been any effectiveness?

Channel crossings are up under Labour.

Not at all. To call it a ‘moral panic’ is to dismiss and deprioritise women and girls. It’s an old line that got used at the GE. It won’t wash anymore.

Totally agree, worst possible outcome.

Unless somebody other than Nigel openly admits we have a problem and starts talking about it, Nigel will become PM. It’s a no brainer.

Reform will have someone mistakenly released every Tuesday!

We know there is a significant chance that Reform will be the next party in power. This will be because of increasing public outrage and anger. People do not feel listened to when they are trying to tell their elected politicians that they have concerns around migration or the cost of living or the state of the nhs. People see migrants committing crimes and costing the taxpayer huge amounts being accomodated in hotels that the taxpayer themselves cannot afford to stay in. Labour and the Tories have both failed to deal with the problem. The outcome of the next election may as well be a foregone conclusion unless Starmer does something pretty drastic now. No I dont think Reform would have the first clue how to run a country effectively but people are sick of the status quo and will vote reform as a punishment vote and out of desperation for something...anything to change for the better. I am politically homeless and dont align especially with the views espoused by any of the main parties.

I feel if the government sorted out the economy & the Cost of Living crisis there wouldn't be so much anger towards the migrants, but when there is talk of tax hikes, and people are barely able to afford food, or use heating, or pay for the water bill, mortgage, rent, etc, they might feel a tad pissed off when all these people are getting it all for free. The welfare bill is astronomical.

At what point does the UK declare itself as a Charity?

Maybe the government could also sort out some sort of labour plan for these people, like rebuilding the railways, or reservoirs, etc (the infrastructure in the UK is shockingly bad).

Nail on the head. The majority don't want Farage, but they want the weak leftie woke pathetic alternatives even less. Both Tories and Labour need new leaders, and quickly, and only then will either have the remotest hope of winning the next GE or forming a coalition to keep Farage out. People are voting for Farage because he offers something different, and both Starmer and Badenoch should never have been allowed anywhere near the top table of their respective parties as they're utterly useless and hopeless and have no chance at all of winning the next GE. Such a shame we also have a hopeless Libdem leader too. If they had someone like Clegg (or Farron) as leader they'd actually be a force to be considered.

Trouble with infrastructure work is that those workers now command ridiculously high wages so the cost is ruinous - as we've seen with HS2. Unskilled labourers on £1k per day freelance rates for example.

Starmer and his sixth-form debating society cabinet couldn’t smash an egg.

Reform’s popularity is a collective “fuck it” by the nation.

How will Reform legally do this? I'd love more information from you.

Not if they have to work for their benefits. But primarily the system is flawed as I can see why Labour would want to keep people not working and in benefits as these people are their voting demographic. It's a way of buying votes.

I suspect you are right, at least….i hope you are, I don’t want him disappearing. I want him deported which is what they were supposed to do.

Yes and honestly I can see why Reform will win the next election as people are so angry and have had enough of being lied to and ignored

Just that it is not "entirely spin".

Actually, an insurance-based health system (if it was like France and Germany) is possibly the one thing that would make me vote Reform - and I am married to a forrin Muslim and have a mixed race DC.

We live in an area with very few migrants, largely because DH is an Anglophile who loves nothing more than a bucolic view from a village pub. However, I had the dubious pleasure of being robbed in broad daylight in Newham recently, and it would be foolish to pretend that we don’t have a huge problem with integration.

It is if Labour sold in smashing the gangs as the solution and crossings are up. They haven’t done as stated, it hasn’t worked.

with any luck reform will get in. We need to become a country like Poland

Not a fan of Labour, but not sure they can be blamed for this instance, just another example of the ineptitude of our public services.

Come from France ,a safe country.
They can be sent back there
God knows we pay the french enough money to stop them ..

YABU to think Reform will be better at running prisons.

I think you are spot on @HedwigEliza
