A second small boat in one day has evaded pick-up by the the UK Border Force. And landed on a British beach…
This time a boat landed at Samphire Hoe near Dover yesterday. A boat had previously landed near Folkestone on Monday. Migrants have been detained, however it is not known if there are any still at large. Mahmood has an ongoing review into these landings…
This is the first time this has happened in a year – the one thing the Home Office is meant to do well is prevent undetected landings. Is it also a case of no border security without social security?
Asked by Lobby hacks about his past comments on Trump (“any UK politician who gave Trump the time of day should be ashamed right now”) Burnham was blithe:
“Politicians say things throughout their career, but now the important thing is to focus on the moment you are in.”
Were it so easy…
