A lawyer who blocked a small boat migrant from being sent back to France under the Government’s so-called “one-in, one-out” deal yesterday told Good Morning Britain today that ‘public opinion‘ is on her client’s side. Imogen Towley explained:
“There really isn’t one argument that would apply to everybody who’s seeking to resist removal to France. I’m working for somebody who has close family in the UK, um who has serious mental health problems. Uh we’re acting for somebody else who was um forced to come to the UK by traffickers.”
Translation: there will always be a reason not to return anyone. Meanwhile, immigration has shot to the top of voters’ concerns for the first time since Brexit. Despite Labour’s promises, not a single return to France has happened – blocked time and again by lefty lawyers. Labour can’t even say when the first will go…
Speaking to Sky News off the back of Rachel Reeves’ Air Passenger Duty hike, Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary said:
“Labour is dependent on those Red Wall seats, and yet every move she makes poisons economic growth and damages the UK’s recovery… it’s the Chancellor who stumbles from policy misstep to policy misstep… I think her policy decisions are incredibly stupid.”
