Has James Cleverly been lying about migrant boats coming to the UK?
Migrant boats: but this image was taken at a different time of year – nobody in their right mind would try the crossing in the middle of winter storms.
One would have thought ‘Rohypnol Jimmy’ had more to worry about than lying to the public about boats-ful of “illegal” migrants coming to the UK over Christmas.
But no.
Look below for an ‘X’ post from Ian Hodson, quoting Cleverly’s latest nonsense.
Cleverly’s saying there weren’t any boats crossing the English Channel over the Christmas period, for the first time since 2018 – but the context note points out that this is probably because the weather has been particularly stormy and you’d have to be insane to try to make the crossing in such conditions.
Finally we see the truth the small boat crisis was made in Downing Street and used as a way of dividing the country during the economic crisis they also created. Small boats the distraction that avoided you looking at whose really to blame for your hardship. pic.twitter.com/7MpRvO4o5C

So he’s peddling a lie – because he wants us to think that the lack of crossings is a result of his government’s policy on migration, and that isn’t right.
How much of the rest of what the Tory government says about cross-channel migration is also a lie?
