Net migration is at a record high in the UK, and as you might expect the Tories are tearing their hair out over it. After the failure of the Rwanda plan, Home Secretary James Cleverly sayid that plan is not the “be all and end all”, angering those on the very right of his party. Can Sunak provide a credible answer to the backlash the Tory party has received over its migration policies? Or has it lost all public trust? And the general election is somewhere on the horizon, but does it really matter when the election takes place with the polls so in favour of Labour? “Everyone is pissed off but in different ways.” – Geri Scott. “I'm not sure Cleverly needs to be dragged to the right to sure-up his position.” – Geri Scott. “When people are afraid and during a crisis they tend to vote for what they know.” – Ros Taylor “I think the Tories could benefit from something truly disastrous happening.” – Ros Taylor.
