This migrant problem is going to let Reform in isn’t it?

Honestly it’s such a bloody nightmare. Reform are making a total hash of local government from what I’ve read, putting teenagers in charge of whole departments with no relevant experience. What are they going to do if they are elected to run a country!!!! I’m honestly terrified. Labour need to be seen to be actively doing something to quell the far-right momentum that’s gaining traction from ordinary folk. I’m amazed at the average, usually pretty sensible people around me who are now telling me they are going to vote Reform.

there was an interview I saw yesterday where the minister said that thousands of people were being deported regularly. The interviewer asked why there were no videos of this and she said there could be. Well let’s see it! It would absolutely help.

In my bit of Wales the housing waiting list has been paused priority to be given to migrants. Our first minister has said many times we're the land of sanctuary.

Is this labour party policy now ?

Family work there. They're pushing people with empty homes to hand them over. We've already got double rates on second homes. In other council triple rates on second homes.

Wales is the Petri dish for labour. We were the first to make landlords register, pay for courses. Implement the six months notice to tenants.

Only then is it implemented in England.

So waiting lists not paused, in order to give council houses to migrants then....

We are run by the Senedd not Westminster. The Senedd is run by labour. So yes we have declared ourselves a place of sanctuary for migrants

It's like wading through treacle on here sometimes.

We are offering sanctuary to migrants as a priority, setting aside existing waiting lists temporarily.

"Home - Wales: Nation of Sanctuary" https://wales.cityofsanctuary.org

It doesn't mention anything about housing list being halted because of it

Telegraph showed ‘lack of care’ with headline: ‘Quarter of UK sex crimes carried out by foreigners’

Data was available and set out in article but headline was misleading, IPSO finds.

Yes I saw that!
Problem is people only read the top headline as it’s paywalled. I knew that data was misleading.

What jobs are they going to get. Folks are going to be leery of them around women in a health care setting I would imagine.

Why? They are no more likely than a white male to attack you.

Centre of Migration Control is often behind these stats, that is Reform UK activist Robert Bates.

Have you got a link to that information from an approved source?
