Why is the UK government still on X? This tweet about helping students from Gaza has a sea of racist bile in the comments and QTs.

This is insufferable. Why does the BBC’s political editor write like this?

Boneheaded takes like this are why we are in a mess.
“We offer no asylum visa, but don’t dare come by small boat, or any other visa route.”

New Home Office stats on Channel crossings. Average number of people per small boat has almost doubled from 29 in 2022 to 54 in 2025. Sometimes more than *80* on board. UK policy isn't smashing the gangs, it's positively enriching them.
