Has Rishi seen the light on migrant problem?
IN A classic told-you-so moment, Rishi Sunak suggested in a speech in Italy that immigration was out of control. The British public have said this for decades and have been consistently labelled racist and ignorant for doing so.
Sadly, on immigration, there remains a cavernous divide between the experience and knowledge of voters and the head-in-the-sand, virtue-signalling claptrap peddled by a majority of MPs from all parties.
With the exception of Nick Fletcher, the Tory MP for Don Valley, MPs are still failing to represent their constituents on this issue — pushing the hackneyed narrative that all migrants are refugees and all immigration is good.

RISHI SUNAK said in his speech in Italy that ‘enemies’ could use immigration as a weapon by ‘deliberately driving people to our shores to try to destabilise our society’. This should be a critical political watershed. Alas, those highlighting the statistical trends have always been denounced as racists or derided as conspiracy theorists. Now we have the Prime Minister himself conceding they were right all along. We can only hope this slow Government hasn’t woken up to the threat too late.
robert Frazer, Salford. WHAT would we do without legal migration? I was rushed in an ambulance to the cardiac unit at my local hospital. All the fantastic nurses, radiographers and doctors who helped me — 12 in all — were immigrants.

MANY people support net-zero immigration. Existing and planned levels are totally unsustainable.
