At yesterday Prime Minister’s Questions, for the second week running, Kemi Badenoch was savaged by Sir Keir Starmer on the key issue of immigration.
A fortnight ago, eye-watering ONS figures showed that we have added a city the size of Birmingham to our population, with most of the influx coming from outside Europe. This is down to Boris Johnson’s significant relaxation of visa requirements as part of his points-based ‘Global Britain’ immigration system. The numbers are so large they have even prompted Keir Starmer to deride the Tories for their ‘one-nation open border experiment’.
When Starmer made this barb at last week’s PMQs Badenoch lamely attempted to deflect – ‘I am not asking about immigration’. This week, apparently stung, she went on the attack.
