[New Judge]

It is suggested that “tactical voting” may have led to the downfall of James Cleverley in the Tory Leadership contest:

Just so long as they work on the border problem they are head and shoulders above anyone who has been in power lately.

 

The problem is that one seems to have undergone a recent enlightenment, and is now saying the right things, while the other used to seem keen but nowadays wants to concentrate on party reform over prioritising the issue. Neither are that convincing any longer.

Oh aye, the border problem will be job number one, right p to the moment where real action has to be taken. Politicians of every colour are cowards when it comes down to it, preferring to condemn this and deplore that than do anything.

At least Jenrick SAYS he wants the UK out of the ECHR, which would be a good step in dealing with the illegal immigrants.

The problem there is, that in a referendum though the country would probably go for it, the left of the Tories don't want that, and it may cost him a lot of votes.

Daily Telegraph - "ECHR gives Albanian killer right to remain in UK."

Convicted in Albania & sentenced to 13 years. Already been jailed in UK for immigration offences AND WE CAN'T DEPORT HIM!!!!!
