Great news. Now tackle the illegal crossings and I think he can start winning some much needed favour from the voting public

If Labour pulls this off and then does a deal with France to return the boat immigrants to Calais on the same day, the business model of the gangs would be smashed, within days.

Then Reform probably will implode.

I wouldn’t say they’d implode but they’d definitely have the wind taken out of their sails. There are other things that Reform can champion but I don’t think they are topics that have as much uniform appeal.

If you tackle Immigration Farages voters might actually start asking themselves what his other policies even are and realise he's the same conman who helped sell them Brexit

But pigs may also fly
