Racist rhetoric, stopping the boats’ and making immigration a key issue is the only strategy Sunak has to keep a core Conservative base come the next election
After years of stirring hatred and violence, Republicans in Florida are now pleading for migrants not to leave. The MAGA movement loves talking about hard work, but they sure do seem scared at the prospect of having to do it.
as it happens, I was on a pre-referendum panel with a couple of minority-ethnic #Brexiters & this was exactly their argument for #Brexit - to shift the origin of #migrants back to non-EU countries.....
