One of the key issues at play in this year’s July election was the matter of immigration. Sir Keir Starmer promised voters that his party would ‘cut immigration’ and yet this week alone more than 1,500 irregular migrants arrived on Britain’s shores. Much like with everything else, Brits are losing faith in Sir Keir’s government and frustration is growing over poor public comms, sleaze scandals and a failure to deliver fast on manifesto promises. And now it seems that Nigel Farage’s MPs have had enough.
In a letter to the Prime Minister, Reform’s five MPs have called for the release of a selection of immigration data, accusing the government of information being ‘withheld or deliberately concealed’ from the public. In a scathing note, Reform politicians rage:
According to the national polls, the British people consider immigration to be one of the most important issues facing the country. The overwhelming majority of ordinary people want to end the deliberate policy of mass, uncontrolled legal immigration and regain control over illegal immigration.
