Suella Braverman’s thick skin and clear-eyed approach is what is desperately needed to solve the Small Boats crisis
So Brave-rman
SUELLA Braverman says she is not worried by relentless personal attacks over her attempts to tackle illegal migrants.
Good for her.
A thick skin and a clear-eyed approach are desperately needed to solve the Small Boats crisis.
The Home Secretary says she cannot put a date on the first flights to Rwanda but insists talks with Europe on laws preventing them are making progress.
If that cannot be achieved Braverman and the PM should ignore the ECHR judges and go it alone.
Amid other problems in the Channel, it was no surprise to see Remainers immediately blame holiday traffic queues at Dover on Brexit paperwork.
Such a lazy conclusion ignores the massive lines for the Eurotunnel and ferries almost every Easter and summer since 2010 when the Government brought in tougher checks.
Coupled with a typically underwhelming performance by French border staff and Brits’ desperation for sun after a dismal winter, is it any wonder there are jams?
For Sarah
PARENTS worried that a sex offender may have moved in next door have had to hang on for weeks to find out officially.
So it’s good news that the average 45-day wait on Sarah’s Law applications is to be slashed as part of a welcome clampdown on child sex offences.
It is nearly 23 years since Sarah Payne was murdered by convicted paedophile Roy Whiting who lived in her area.
The decision to speed up the process is another victory for her mum Sara Payne who has campaigned tirelessly on behalf of families everywhere.
Trump pump
ONCE again, it appears Democrats in the US may have badly miscalculated.
Far from torpedoing his chances of becoming President again, the indictment of Donald Trump may ensure he becomes the Republican candidate.
And what a choice next year for leader of the free world.
A 77-year-old man ranting about the Deep State or Sleepy Joe Biden, already doddery and 86 by the end of any second term.
China and Russia must be watching all this with glee.
Sir Floppy
TO the overwhelming majority in this country there’s a straightforward answer to the question: “what is a woman?”
Not for Keir Starmer, though, who is now confident that 99.9 per cent of women “don’t have a penis.”
After being exposed for campaigning to stop deportation of violent criminals, Sir Softie is fast becoming Sir Floppy.
