the British public get the chance to play at democracy every 5 years. Otherwise their opinion is irrelevant as far as Starmer is concerned.

That line about controlling illegal immigration is infuriating and false. At the moment Britain can't get control of the situation because all our sovreignty has been surrendered to the eu and activist judges and lawyers who based on their messed up humanist worldview allow basically everyone who comes here illegally to stay and prevent any meaningful effort from the government to stop it. Not that there's much political will from two tier kier to do anything about it.

Trump has proved that you don't need any crazy, complicated schemes to deal with illegal immigration.

This just feels like more authoritarianism from the starmer government who can't hold themselves back from scoring own goals because they are completely out of touch with what the people want.
