Home Secretary lies about migrant backlog and refuses to correct herself

Formal complaint lodged against Suella Braverman over hate speech

Someone has called out Home Secretary Suella Braverman over her “inflammatory language” against British Pakistani men and people who cross the Channel in small boats to seek asylum here.

Professor Tim Wilson has details:

Braverman was scheduled to address the National Conservative conference on the need to cut migration.

It’s a match made in heaven: a xenophobe preaching race hate to the Nat-Cs.

Even Conservatives are worried their party is sliding into extremism

Baroness Warsi: She’s been a voice in the Tory wilderness for years.

Former Tory bigwigs have noticed the party is slipping into fascism, it seems.

Former party co-chair Sayeeda Warsi has said the party’s rhetoric on asylum seekers is dangerous. One has to wonder whether she’s okay with the way her colleagues talk about peaceful protesters.

Here she is:

Baroness Sayeeda Warsi told the FT that some of the “generalisations” that Conservative politicians had made were creating a “really dangerous space”.

Her remarks come after immigration minister Robert Jenrick said in a speech last month that refugee numbers needed to be controlled because those seeking asylum had “completely different lifestyles and values” from people in the UK.

He was supported by home secretary Suella Braverman, who added that asylum seekers showed “heightened levels of criminality”, including prostitution and drug dealing.

Earlier comments by Braverman about immigration prompted former footballer Gary Lineker to write on Twitter that the ministers’ language was “not dissimilar to that used in Germany in the 1930s”.

Warsi said Lineker was right about her party’s rhetoric and warned that it risked sliding into the same rightwing extremism as the Republican party in the US.

“There are only a few steps from there where then we end up demonising whole groups of communities,” Warsi said. “

You know, Gary Lineker was right when he said this is rhetoric from 1930s Germany.”

So if you know anybody who’s voting Tory on May 4, ask them why they support fascism and remind them that we fought a world war against it.

Tories have been … misleading … with ‘Welsh Government handout for asylum-seekers’ claim

Rishi Sunak: he made himself look like an utter halfwit by answering a question about Welsh Government policy in Prime Minister’s Questions.

Senior Conservatives have been telling porkies to get electoral advantage over the Labour Party in Wales, it seems.

Leader of the Welsh Conservatives Andrew RT Davies and Secretary of State for Wales David TC Davies both endorsed a claim that the Welsh Government is planning to give asylum seekers £1,600 per month.

But it seems the claim is utter bunkum, based on a letter that was not what The Sun had claimed. But then, why would anybody believe The Sun? Here’s Nation.Cymru:

The letter – which has been obtained by Nation.Cymru – was not an attempt to create a new asylum seeker policy, but involved three Welsh ministers seeking clarification on a pilot that already exists in Wales regarding 18-year-old care leavers.

The Welsh Government launched the Basic Income for Care Leavers scheme in July 2022 which ensures eligible young people leaving the care system receive £1,600 a month for the first 24 months of leaving care.

The Basic Income for Care Leavers only focuses on the category of care leavers which does include some unaccompanied asylum seeking children who were looked after by a local authority up until the age of 18.

The inclusion of asylum seeker children who were raised in care was always a factor that had been budgeted for by the Welsh Government from the outset of the pilot.

Eligibility for the scheme has not changed since it was set out in a written statement by the Welsh Government in February 2022.

Although it has not yet confirmed how many young asylum seekers leave care on average every year, a Welsh Government source said the number is “a very small proportion of those taking part in the pilot”.

So there’s nothing dodgy about this scheme at all.

But Andrew RT Davies said it was “creating an even bigger pull factor to bring people across the Channel”.

Welsh Secretary David TC Davies said: “Incentivising illegal migrants to risk their lives by crossing the Channel in exchange for taxpayers’ cash is wrong, dangerous and hugely irresponsible. That is why I have denied the Welsh Labour Government their request.”

One of the letter’s signatories, Mick Antoniw, pointed out to him: “This is nothing to do with you. No request has been made to you. Your permission is not required for anything.”

The lunacy even reached as high as prime minister Rishi Sunak, who said the pilot could incentivise people smuggling.

Nation.Cymru has acquired a comment from the Welsh Government that makes Sunak look like a simpleton:

“It is disappointing that inaccurate and misleading claims are being used to trivialise these sensitive issues.”

Home Office admits it made up claim that refugees are ‘economic migrants’

Priti Patel: when she was Home Secretary, she said Channel refugees were economic migrants and tried to stop the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) from saving them.

The Home Office has admitted it doesn’t have a scrap of evidence to support a long-standing claim that 70 per cent of people crossing the English Channel are “economic migrants”.

Here’s The Guardian:

As home secretary in 2021, Priti Patel told parliament that “70% of individuals on small boats are single men who are effectively economic migrants”. In December last year, with the number of boat arrivals continuing to increase, her successor, Suella Braverman, backed the assertion, saying to MPs: “There is considerable evidence that people are coming here as economic migrants, illegally.”

However, when asked via a Freedom of Information request for evidence to support Patel’s claim, the Home Office admitted it had none. Its response – dated 20 March 2023, a year after the request was sent – states: “We have carried out a thorough search and we have established that the Home Office does not hold the information requested.” But the former home secretary’s statement appears not to have been corrected.

Human rights groups say such claims help create a false narrative that individuals arriving by boat are not genuine asylum seekers so are less deserving of sympathy.

The Home Office’s own data confirms that most of the people who reached the UK by small boat in 2022 – at least six in 10 – would be recognised as refugees. Despite this, the British government has closed or severely restricted most safe routes to the UK, leaving people with no choice but to risk the Channel crossing.

Now, why would Tory ministers fabricate a lie that refugees are economic migrants?

Richard Murphy has an inkling:

So, the Home Office and successive Tory Home Secretaries have knowingly been spreading untruths to promote racism. I am not in the least bit surprised, but wish I could be. When might we have some honest politicians? https://t.co/0ggU9vTMoc

I think he has a point. Don’t you?

Barge to house asylum seekers looks like a prison and is treated like one. What is it?

Has the plan to house asylum-seekers on the 222-berth barge Bibby Stockholm come unstuck with its comparison to a floating prison?

Tory ministers may be claiming it hasn’t…

#KayBurley – Is the barge a floating prison?

Richard Holden(Roads Minister) – No#KayBurley – Can people come & go as they like?

RH – No… ports are a protected area

KB – So it's a type of prison?

RH – No, it's not a type of prison#BBCBreakfast pic.twitter.com/kdhp5lHAcr

— Haggis_UK 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 (@Haggis_UK) April 6, 2023

… but they would have been better-off checking their history books first.

Allow me to introduce you to HM Prison Weare:

Formerly known as the Bibby Resolution, HMP Weare was moored at – guess where? – Portland Port near Weymouth, where it held 400 prisoners between 2004 and 2005 when it closed due to costly running, being unnecessary and the cost of millions of pounds in order to refurbish it.

The prison was reopened a few months later for a short period. Not long after, the prison closed permanently and was sold off after conditions on board were criticised by the Chief Inspector for Prisoners, who complained that inmates had no exercise and no access to fresh air, also stating the ship was “unsuitable, expensive and in the wrong place”

So: poor conditions, costly and unnecessary.

May we expect to see the same conditions prevailing with HMP Weare’s sister ship, Bibby Stockholm?

Here’s a better idea for it:

Instead of using this Dickensian monstrosity to house asylum seekers I suggest we moor it outside Westminster and the MP’s can use it instead of 2nd homes.

Now that would save money. pic.twitter.com/U40yHJzvUE

Look who’s opposing this plan to house asylum-seekers on a barge

Richard Drax: his ancestors transported slaves to the Caribbean in cramped, unhygienic ships. Now he is opposing a similar (albeit somewhat more comfortable) scheme for asylum-seekers.

When a Conservative MP whose family were pioneers of the slave trade opposes a plan to house foreign asylum-seekers on a “completely inadequate” barge, his colleagues in government ought to take notice.

They won’t, of course.

Richard Drax’s ancestors ran sugar plantations based on slave labour, in Barbados and Jamaica, until the British Parliament banned slavery in 1833. The slaves had been transported from Africa on ships where conditions were appallingly cramped, unhygienic and inhumane.

Now, single men who have already suffered to get to the UK are set to be billeted on the 222-berth barge Bibby Stockholm while they wait for their asylum claims to be processed. It is expected to be in use for 18 months.

It will be moored in Portland Port, near Weymouth, and is said to have been refurbished since the Dutch government used it for the same purpose, when it was described as an “oppressive environment.”

Drax’s constituency includes Portland, so the reason he doesn’t want this seems clear (Not In My Back Yard-ism).

According to the BBC,

he was “very concerned” about the impact on the area which “relies on small businesses”.

That being said, the mere fact of him opposing this should carry some weight.

The plan has been touted as a way to get asylum-seekers out of hotels where their accommodation has been costing the government more than £6 million per day and angering local residents.

But Labour has said it is

“in addition to hotels, not instead of them, and is still more than twice as expensive as normal asylum accommodation”.

So whichever way you slice it, the evidence in support of this new scheme is wafer-thin.

Keir Starmer’s latest announcements offer us NOTHING

Keir Starmer: a flag and a fancy haircut are no substitute for political policies that might help people.

Keir Starmer took the opportunity of an LBC radio appearance to tell junior doctors and refugees that he doesn’t support them against the government.

Who does he help, apart from himself? Good question.

Responding to a junior doctor who asked whether a Labour government would provide full pay restoration – bring pay back up to the level enjoyed under Gordon Brown’s New Labour administration – he said he could not make that promise, but he was grateful for what junior doctors do and wanted them to know he was on their side.

That doesn’t pay the bills.

Starmer to junior doctors:

"Unfortunately, you'll still be paid shit wages under my Labour government but, rest assured, we'll be on your side in spirit. That's the difference my Labour Party will make in power. Less sticking plaster politics. More vibes." https://t.co/swVIs1Miqu

— Frank Owen's Legendary Paintbrush🥀🇵🇸🇾🇪 (@OwenPaintbrush) April 3, 2023

And, challenged on what he would do for asylum-seekers, he said putting them into concentration camps on military bases was unavoidable, and did not put forward any alternative ideas to relieve the pressure that has been created by the failure of the Tories to address the issue in any meaningful way.

It was simply this: he offers us nothing.

Is this the new wheeze for friends of the Tories: subsidies for asylum-seeker hotels?

Channel migrants: it seems the Tories have found a way to help their friends make a profit from the presence of these vulnerable people.

It’s not so long since we discovered the Tory government was giving contracts to provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to their friends via an illegal ‘VIP lane’ – now it turns out they are paying their buddies to run hotels housing asylum-seekers.

Apparently the BBC has been told the government is using 395 hotels to accommodate more than 51,000 people, at a cost of £6 million per day.

Hotel owners are being approached to hand over their properties to outsourced companies, which run the businesses on behalf of the Home Office.

The BBC’s report names the outsourced companies as Serco, Mears Group and Calder Conferences, all of which are enjoying increased profits as a result.

Here’s a bit of info on Serco:

I wish I were shocked…

That Serco got the contract for 109 asylum hotels

That Serco's CEO is the brother of a former Tory MP

That his partner is a Tory Party donor

That Serco's former top spin doctor was the Tory Minister for Health:https://t.co/6VN9L7Xo0f

— Marina Purkiss (@MarinaPurkiss) March 20, 2023

But what about this snippet from the social media?

https://t.co/GdkVcyCrcW

— Sue Lees #EnoughisEnough (@sue_lees) March 20, 2023

Here’s more evidence:

According to Migration Watch (who I do not support) £1.3 billion pound is spent in hotel accommodation for 25 thousand refugees. That’s £142 per night. Only the hotel owners can tell you the profit, but I’m pretty sure they are not staying in golf and spa resort hotels.

— Steve Caiels (@SteveInWembury) March 20, 2023

Sadly, that’s only a little to go on.

But it should be enough to support a demand for the facts from the Tories.

Who is running the hotels that are benefiting from this public money? Are they Conservatives or supporters of Conservatives? Who is responsible for selecting them?

Has someone set up another ‘VIP lane’ for applications?

Braverman in Rwanda for propaganda junket; praises decor of homes for UK refugees

Suella Braverman arrives in Rwanda: what a pity she isn’t being forced to stay there.

The thought of sending vulnerable, homeless fellow human beings to Rwanda , a country with a record of horrendous human rights violations and the Home Secretary in Rwanda , glorifying a deal , seems like just a terrible nightmare from which I will awake . Yet here we are.

— Thelma Walker (@Thelma_DWalker) March 18, 2023

Yes, here we are – and there she was: Suella Braverman has indeed been on a propaganda-fuelled junket to Rwanda, where homes are being built for the couple of hundred “migrants” (also known as asylum-seekers or refugees) into the UK that the African country has agreed to accommodate.

📍 Kigali, Rwanda 🇷🇼

The Home Secretary @SuellaBraverman is in Rwanda to see the ongoing operations to solidify our ground-breaking partnership. The UK-Rwanda Migration and Economic Development Partnership is an important part of our plan to stop the boats. pic.twitter.com/lGAYe9r7EU

— Home Office (@ukhomeoffice) March 18, 2023

Here’s a video clip of her arrival:

Suella Braverman has pitched up in Rwanda, with her chums in the right-wing press, for an expensive taxpayer-funded photo op. pic.twitter.com/pO89gRzKeK

— Haggis_UK 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 (@Haggis_UK) March 18, 2023

The clip makes the very good point that the Tory government’s attempts to send people over to Rwanda – which has a very poor human rights record – are mired in legal challenges.

Here’s Peter Stefanovic to expand on that:

The Government’s Illegal Migration Bill is a flagrant breach of our obligations under the Refugee Convention & European Convention on Human Rights – the PM & members of his Cabinet know it & are lying to the public to force it through & this is the headline – absolutely shameful https://t.co/kWhXv6nG5w

— Peter Stefanovic (@PeterStefanovi2) March 18, 2023

And he’s right about the headline, which is the source of This Site’s assertion that her trip was for propaganda purposes:

Wow, she really is vile #BravermanOut https://t.co/9oHFof8S4x

— Jane Darling 💙 (@janeydarling1) March 18, 2023

Does anybody really think Braverman wanted the name of the Rwanda homes interior designer?

Neither do I. If she was given it, I expect her to have binned it – which is exactly what she is planning to do to any asylum-seekers and refugees who are unlucky enough to be sent there.
