Time to act on borders

WERE there prizes for stating the obvious, the Home Secretary would have yesterday put herself in line for the gold medal.

The Channel migrants crisis, said Suella Braverman, was ‘out of control’. Truly, did anyone not realise?

Already this year, 33,000 have reached our shores illegally in smugglers’ dinghies.

So we hope Mrs Braverman’s plan to reform the disastrous Modern Slavery Act, making it harder for illegal immigrants and foreign criminals ( helped by activist lawyers) to thwart deportation, gets results.

The Left will inevitably howl with outrage. But voters want the Government to enforce strict border controls – not oversee an immigration free-for-all.
