This year when the Tories where in government an average of 74 a day arrived. Since July 4th? 150 a day. Are Labour sending them invites or what?

[Old_Geezer]

They all are.

Otherwise one or other government would do something effective. But no.

[douglas9401]

Aye, that's what's happening. Next!

[youngmafbog]

They will let them in then say they have sorted it by granting them all the right to live here (and extended families).

More labour Votes they will see it as.

[youngmafbog]

Did you honestly think SIR 2TK would do anything else?

[Atheist]

Over what period did the average 74 a day occur?

[youngmafbog]

Why dont you read the article, its in there.  Need a bit of basic maths but as you are so much better than all of us I'm sure that wont be a problem.🙄

[ToraToraTora]

I think the smugglers have worked out that Labour will be at least twice as useless as the Tories dealing with this.

Thanks for pointing out the link I should have read.

No, they're just trying to emulate the record level achieved under the Tories in their earlier term.  You should be pleased, emulation is the sincerest form of flattery.

stop reading the express. it's bad for your blood pressure.

Untitled, if the figures are right does it matter where we read them? Do you not care about the figures? How would you feel about the figures if they were in The Guardian, Mirror, PE or Morning Star?

Didn't the numbers drop when the Rwanda scheme was in progress

[Clone]

Yes, just like the Conservatives did.

[perseverer]

The figures in the OP do not make allowance for the time of the year. The linked article suggests that the figures for the comparable period last year are up 15% so not good. It also says the number of people per boat is up by about 12%.

[hessian]

How many are Scotland, Wales of NI receiving?

[naomi24]

I don't think they're doing anything to deter them.  They know they won't be sent to Rwanda and News of fast-tracking is probably welcome to them.
