Sunak Accused of Toxic Rhetoric after Warning of ‘Overwhelming’ Migration to Europe
THE OBSERVER: Prime minister makes controversial remarks at Rome conference organised by Giorgia Meloni’s party

Rishi Sunak has been accused of adopting the “toxic” rhetoric of his former home secretary Suella Braverman, after he warned that migration would “overwhelm” European countries without firm action.
In remarks that will further inflame the Tory row over migration that has been raging for weeks, the prime minister said that “enemies” were “deliberately driving people to our shores to try to destabilise our society”.
Sunak made the comments at a festival in Rome organised by the far-right Brothers of Italy party, led by the Italian premier Giorgia Meloni. He said that both he and Meloni, with whom he has been forging a close relationship over hardline migration policies, were taking inspiration from Margaret Thatcher’s steadfast radicalism in their quest to do “whatever it takes” to “stop the boats”. » | Angela Giuffrida in Rome and Michael Savage | Saturday, December 16, 2023
Sunak ist politisch eine Niete. Er hat überhaupt kein gutes Feingefühl für die Politik. Wenn er sagt, daß das größte politische Problem Immigration ist, ist es absurd. Ungleichheit und Armut sind viel, viel wichtiger als Zuwanderung, obschon Zuwanderung wichtig ist. Und was tut Sunak dagegen? Was sind seine Lösungen? – © Mark Alexander

Why Has UK Immigration Gone Up since Brexit
Is there really anyone out there that actually believes that Rishi Sunak has more sense than money? The dude is an out-and-out Brexiteer. His anti-EU conviction hasn't served him very well, has it? – © Mark Alexander

Michael Lambert: Net Immigration Reaches 754,000 as Taxes Are Highest since the 1950's
Nov 25, 2023 | In 2022 immigration into the UK reached 1.2 million whilst 508,000 people left giving a net immigration total of 754,000. This compares with a total 0f 226,000 in 2019 which Boris Johnson promised to reduce in the Conservative Party manifesto. 91% of these immigrants are from non-EU countries headed by India, Nigeria and China.
Jeremy Hunt , the chancellor of the exchequer, in his autumn statement, announced a cut in the rate of National Insurance of 2p which will cost approximately £19 billion. He also confirmed that government departments with the exception of Defence and Health will have their budgets frozen thereby saving around £19 bilion.
Income tax thresholds are also being frozen which will result in most people paying more tax and the Treasury benefitting to the tune of around £10 billion per annum.
This was all hailed as the biggest tax cut since the 1980's and Hunt claimed that the UK economy had turned a corner.
Rishi Sunak has told the Covid19 enquiry that scientist were consulted including Chris Witty and Patrick Vallance before he announced his Eat Out To Help Out scheme which is believed to have been responsible for thousands on unnecessary deaths.
Willy, Vallance and Jonathan Van Tam have all given evidence under oath that they were not advised in advance and would have opposed the scheme had they been asked.

John Anderson Interview : Douglas Murray –Israel, Immigration & Islam
Nov 8, 2023 | In this conversation, John sits down with journalist and author Douglas Murray to discuss the war on Western culture in light of the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Murray argues that Western Civilisation is being eroded by the collapse of history, faith and moral clarity. This cultural decay, Murray suggests, has been caused by a variety of factors including illegal immigration, secularisation, identity politics and the rise of radical Islam. Nonetheless, Murray is encouraged by the growing support for initiatives like the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) and a common sense middle class who reject elitist identity politics. …

Downing Street has backed the Conservative deputy chair, Lee Anderson, after he was criticised for saying people complaining about being housed on the Bibby Stockholm barge after entering the UK illegally should “fuck off back to France”.
Anderson made the comments in an interview with the Daily Express, after the transfer of asylum seekers to the barge was delayed by safety concerns and legal challenges.
He won the backing of Alex Chalk, the justice secretary, who said that while Anderson’s language was “salty” his “indignation is well placed”, and the comments were “not bigotry at all”.
No 10 also said the justice secretary was speaking for the government in backing Anderson. » | Rowena Mason Whitehall editor, Diane Taylor and Sammy Gecsoyler | Tuesday, August 8, 2023
The Tories have reached a new low now! Is Lee Anderson an example of the calibre of today’s Conservative politicians? Of course, he must be. My God! Such a disgraceful man; such a disgraceful way for a man in his position to speak! Sunak should kick this common bully, this bruiser out of the party, not endorse his disgusting outburst. This sort of obscene, obnoxious and intemperate utterance should make all decent Brits feel ashamed of their country. – © Mark Alexander

German Parliament Passes New Immigration Law to Tackle Shortage of Skilled Workers | DW News
Jun 23, 2023 | The German Bundestag on Friday (June 23) finally passed a new immigration law reform designed to encourage more people from outside the European Union to come to Germany for work.
A major new innovation under the law is a new "opportunity card" and its associated points system, which allows foreigners who don't yet have a job lined up to come to Germany for a year to find employment.
A prerequisite for receiving a card will be a vocational qualification or university degree.
The cards will be awarded to those who fulfill a certain number of conditions, for which they will be awarded points: These could be German and/or English language skills, existing ties to Germany, and the potential of accompanying life partners or spouses on the German labor market.
The opportunity card will also permit casual work for up to 20 hours a week while looking for a qualified job, as well as probationary employment.

Michael Lambert: The Government Has No Idea How to Solve Our Post-Brexit Problems
May 13, 2023 | The #rishisunak government has no idea how to solve the country's severe economic problems following #brexit . They fail to understand that all of our problems stem from a shortage of funding and that the only way that can be resolved is through expansion of the economy.
Whilst preoccupied with #immigration the government does not realise that most asylum seekers have no legal route to this country and instead are coming here in lorries as well as by boat across the Channel. Others who come here on temporary work visas often remain in the black economy instead of returning home. Immigration from the EU is now negative with more EU members returning to the EU than coming to the UK.
One of the consequences of the declining #economy following Brexit is that instead of 'the brightest and the best' coming to the UK, our own brightest and best are leaving to live and work in other countries.
UK water companies which, like gas, electricity and the railways, are all privately-owned, mostly by foreigners. Whilst they tip sewage in our rivers and sea they paid out £1.4 billion last year alone in dividends.
43-year-old Kemi Badenoch, an extremely rude, arrogant and self-assured woman, who has been an MP only for six years and a cabinet minister only for six months, is the bookies' favourite to replace Rishi Sunak as leader of the Conservatives and Prime Minister if he is challenged for the leadership.

Liz Truss Plans More Immigration in Effort to Fill Vacancies and Drive Growth
THE GUARDIAN: Government likely to lift cap on agricultural and broadband workers, and alter shortage occupations list

Liz Truss is preparing to increase immigration to fill job vacancies and boost economic growth in a move that will anger some of her ministers and MPs.
The prime minister plans to raise the number of workers allowed to enter the UK, government sources have confirmed.
Reports claim the government will lift the cap on seasonal agricultural workers and broadband engineers, and make other changes to the shortage occupations list, which will allow key sectors to recruit more overseas staff.
Truss is said to be keen to recruit broadband engineers to complete a pledge to make full-fibre broadband available to 85% of UK homes by 2025. It has also been suggested that she could ease the English-language requirement in some sectors to enable more foreign workers to qualify for visas.
The proposals faces resistance from cabinet Brexiters including the home secretary, Suella Braverman, and the trade secretary, Kemi Badenoch, according to the Sunday Times.
One Conservative MP said that many new Conservative voters in “red wall” seats will be baffled by any softening of immigration rules.
“The government is going to have to explain to those people who thought we were a pro-Brexit government and want to curb immigration why we seem to be changing tack,” the MP said. » | Rajeev Syal | Sunday, September 25, 2022
This woman must surely be taking the effing piss! We have come out of the European Union because of too many 'immigrants' coming into the country—note that most of those people were then part of our homeland - Europe – of which we were a part; and they were largely of the same cultural and religious background: Judaeo-Christian, And when we were in the European Union, everything was going just fine. But that was too much for this turncoat: the once committed Remainer who turned Brexiteer when it suited her career ambitions. Were this woman to be an object, one would say she is not 'fit for purpose'. I therefore say this: Eject the woman from her position as soon as possible, before she does any more damage to this once great country. Shame on her! Shame on the Tories! The party is as corrupt as corrupt can be. – © Mark Alexander

Le Canada, nouvelle destination du rêve américain
LE FIGARO : ENQUÊTE - Grands espaces, facilité de trouver un travail et de créer une entreprise, le pays rivalise d’attrait avec les États-Unis en raison d’une politique volontariste. Objectif: surmonter le déficit de natalité et parvenir à 100 millions d’habitants en 2100, grâce à une immigration choisie en fonction des seules compétences.
Montréal, métropole traditionnellement francophone de quatre millions d’habitants, grouille aujourd’hui d’accents variés. Commerçants chinois près du Vieux Montréal, Ukrainiens et Polonais sur le boulevard Saint-Laurent, Petite Italie au nord de la ville, de plus en plus sud-américaine. Et les Français? Longtemps présents dans le quartier bobo du Plateau Mont-Royal, ils se pressent désormais à Rosemont, moins branché mais plus abordable.
Les longs hivers glaciaux n’y font rien. Le Canada, 37 millions d’âmes au dernier recensement, a attiré 405.000 immigrants en 2021, malgré la pandémie de Covid. Des chiffres en forte hausse. Ottawa «dévoile un plan pour accueillir 1,3 million de nouveaux arrivants» au cours des trois prochaines années, a titré récemment Le Toronto Star. Un véritable boom, alors que 250.000 personnes ont immigré, bon an mal an, entre Terre-Neuve et Vancouver du début des années 1990 jusqu’en 2015. Justin Trudeau veut en accueillir 432.000 en 2022. … Des Indiens, des Chinois, … » | Par Ludovic Hirtzmann | vendredi 29 avril 2022

Les clés pour comprendre la Suède, victime de son laxisme migratoire
LE FIGARO : DÉCRYPTAGE - Naguère paisible et prospère, le royaume scandinave est aujourd’hui secoué par des troubles ethnico-religieux: le résultat de vingt ans d’une politique migratoire «généreuse et bienveillante» jusqu’à l’absurde.
1. Un habitant sur cinq est né à l’étranger
La Suède fut longtemps un pays d’émigration, notamment vers les États-Unis. D’où une population restée homogène jusqu’à la fin du XXe siècle. Au nom de la tolérance et de la bienveillance, ses dirigeants issus de la social-démocratie (dont le royaume scandinave est le modèle suprême) ont décidé d’inverser les flux et d’ouvrir ses frontières aux réfugiés. Une générosité non dénuée d’arrière-pensées, l’économie ayant besoin de main-d’œuvre. Cette politique d’asile a commencé par la guerre en ex-Yougoslavie, mais elle s’est emballée avec le conflit syrien. Pour la seule année 2014, Stockholm a distribué 160.000 titres de séjour. Au total, le nombre de personnes nées à l’étranger a augmenté de 80 % en vingt ans. Un habitant sur cinq vient d’une autre contrée, soit 2 millions de ressortissants sur un effectif total de 10 millions. Un quart des nouveau-nés ont au moins un parent allogène. Malgré toute sa bonne volonté, l’État-providence a fini par donner des signes de fatigue, au niveau des régimes sociaux et du système scolaire. À tel point que le gouvernement a finalement coupé les vannes en 2020, limitant les entrées annuelles à 25.000 individus. Mais trop tard. 2.

UK Ministers Eager to Ease Immigration Rules for Indian Citizens
THE GUARDIAN: Offer could be on table in upcoming trade talks in Delhi in bid to access to country’s growing economy
Ministers are keen to ease immigration restrictions in a bid to make it easier for thousands of Indian citizens to live and work in the UK as part of forthcoming trade talks.
The potential offer will be under discussion when the international trade secretary, Anne-Marie Trevelyan, travels to Delhi this month, reports the Times. Relaxing immigration rules for Indian citizens is a key demand from Delhi.
Trevelyan is said to have the backing of the foreign secretary, Liz Truss, who is keen to curb China’s growing influence in the region. However, they are likely to meet strong resistance from the home secretary, Priti Patel, who opposes the offer.
According to the publication, visa relaxation options under consideration include a scheme similar to one agreed with Australia which would allow young Indians the right to live and work in the UK for up to three years. Another would be to cut visa fees for students and allow them to stay in Britain for a period of time after they graduate. » | Jane Clinton | Saturday, January 1, 2022
