Truly we are spoiled. Not one, but two Commons announcements on immigration from the home secretary. Both of them statements of intent. Foreigners, your time is up. Britain isn’t just full. It’s super-saturated with all the wrong kind of people. Theresa May must be shaking her head. She got labelled with creating a hostile environment just for sending vans round to areas with a large proportion of immigrants, saying: “Piss off home. You’re not wanted.” I guess those were gentler, kinder times. Almost a welcome mat.
Fair to say, Shabana Mahmood’s first statement on illegal immigration went down an absolute storm. With Reform. At Wednesday’s prime minister’s questions, Lee Anderson had been open-mouthed with admiration.
