How many low cost homes would that procure, I’m sure that’d home more than 6000 legal asylum seekers or, better said, house a proportion of the current generation who haven’t got a chance of getting a foot on the ladder.
Add the £1.6 billion for the 500 on the barges and you start to solve the housing crisis.
Now we know that it’s nothing more than a political dog-whistle, and them putting our money into their mates bank accounts.
And some want these to stay on?

Yeah but that masks the other issue - where are the available low cost homes? Failure to build them would be highlighted if they tried that plus the failure to help UK citizens looking for low cost homes would be brought into sharp relief. 13 years of austerity is coming home to roost for the Tories at the time when we are presented with the least able and most corrupt Government in charge

People left destitute after coming to the UK on skilled worker visas only to find there's no job
One woman from Nigeria tells Sky News she paid £10,000 to an "agent" for a skilled worker visa on the promise of work in the UK - only to find out the job did not exist.

Why aren't the government going after these people traffickers?
Corporates that use the skilled worker visa scheme as a base for their profits and leaving local authorities to deal with people promised work that doesn't exist.

The police have record numbers of officers 30 thousand 3 thousand more, so some of their time will be used on control of “tagging” immigrants. According to Miss Braverman, we have new legislation to tag boat people and remove them to Rwanda. “Shocking erosion of human rights”

Just had the misfortune to listen to that. Once again, no real solution to anything that happens in this country, instead dog-whistling to those who will listen.
In some cases there are less than 5% of crimes investigated with the police effectively being there just to give out crime numbers for insurance purposes.
Does she not realise that when you cut so many, that it leads to higher crime levels and in a country which has cut services so much, drained the pockets of those that are most in need, then you create an environment that leads to this position.
In other words, the Tories have created this problem, they’re doing absolutely nothing to fix it.
Boils my piss.
Its almost as if austerity was a mistake? Tens of thousands of officers cut, tens of thousands of police staff-600 police stations closed, hundreds of courts closed, huge cuts to the CPS-so those charged are stuck in the system even longer.
Huge cuts to probation, youth services, prison services. Let alone a complete erosion in pay and conditions for police. Would you do it for roughly 20k?
Yes, there have been thousands recruited -whilst vetting needs a complete overhaul. On piss poor wages who do the govt think are joining? Kids. That's who.
How do you investigate more crimes? One way is to remove all proactive forms of policing-even though we know it is far better to prevent crime than simply record it. The tories have successfully ensured that neigbourhood policing, vital to effective policing of communities, has all but vanished. So do they want police to be visible or not?
It is impossible to make everything a priority without substantial investment and a much greater uplife in numbers. Its always been so-but 13 years of this shit has broken the service.
Braverman talks of more 'common sense' policing. Utter nonsense. Of course this plus the other headlines are simply rhetoric and re-hashing the line that tories are 'tough' on crime...She talks about not going to mental health calls-which admittedly take up 30-40% time and resources-but she talks as if the police can simply say no to these jobs-when mental health/drug abuse is at the core of most low level criminality/anti-social behaviour etc-and if the police don't go, who will? I take it she's announcing investment elsewhere to pick up the slack? Of course not.
Its just another example of their pathetic governing-all easy slogans with nothing of substance behind it. I cannot wait for them all to fuck off.
