Until Britain ENDS the benefits paradise for migrants no amount of co-operation with French will ever work
Pull the plug
AS Keir Starmer prepares to give Emmanuel Macron the full state visit treatment while French cops fail to stop the small boats, the Prime Minister should consider two options.
First, France’s abject failure should mean Britain refusing to sign the fishing rights deal that Starmer struck as part of his Brexit reset with the EU.
After all, what have the French done to deserve such a giveaway?
A total of 703 people crossed the Channel in just seven days to June 29 — while gendarmes only stopped 191. The following week a whopping 2,599 crossed.
That’s a poor return for £480million of British taxpayers’ money.
Secondly, French politicians rightly blame the UK Government for giving Channel migrants free accommodation and healthcare and access to benefits — and letting them work illegally on the black market without fear of arrest.
Until Britain gets tough and ends the benefits paradise for migrants — and is also prepared to say “non” to the French — no amount of so-called co-operation will ever work.
Last orders
IT’S a number that should drive fear into the Chancellor’s heart.
More than 69,000 jobs have been lost in the pub and hospitality trade since the disastrous jobs tax Budget.
The industry simply cannot cope and so businesses have either shut down or laid off staff.
Some left wing Labour MPs still think the answer is yet MORE tax.
Yesterday former leader Neil Kinnock also called for a wealth tax — despite it having proved a disaster when imposed in other countries.
Would the last landlord in Britain please turn off the lights?
Solar eclipsed
THE lunacy around Net Zero deadlines gets worse by the day.
After a scorching summer you’d think solar panels would be soaking up the sun and sending electricity to our homes.
But the grid can’t cope with the glut so solar farm owners are being paid to switch the panels OFF.
Why Ed Miliband continues to pour billions of pounds of our money into this nonsense is anyone’s guess.
Supermoronic
IS it our imagination…or are trigger warnings getting more ridiculous by the day?
Woke film censors have made a complete Digsy’s Dinner of their latest caution that the new Oasis documentary may feature, er, cigarettes and alcohol.
It’s a crazy situation…
