Asylum policies open up pre-election divisions between Labour and Tories
PM rules out ‘burden-sharing’ deal with EU as Keir Starmer says he is seeking closer cooperation with bloc
The Labour leader, who was holding talks at The Hague with officials from Europol and other bodies on Thursday, has suggested that an agreement to send back people who cross the Channel could involve accepting quotas of asylum seekers via the EU. In interviews, he would not be drawn on the number of people he would be willing to take in under the deal that Labour believes it can reach with the bloc.

But, given that we know which way they are likely to vote once "assimilated", we can assume that it will be some degree greater than the numbers required to keep Labour in office.
Let me consult my crystal ball... I predict that if we had such an agreement with the EU we would be obliged to welcome a steady stream of 'quota' asylum seekers but would find that sending the others back would mysteriously not happen for all sorts of confected reasons.
I sincerely hope that Starmer's slack mouth and bandwaggoning prove to be yet another death blow for Liebour . . .
And of course we would receive the best of the bunch, the pick of the crop, les crimes de is creme. Mais certainment.
Aye, right.
My spell checker / productive text changed my original word to "crimes".
A machine made Freudian slip. It seemed appropriate.
Uniparty.
Sam - yes, that seems to be the aim and assumption since the days of Blair.
DJ - your crystal ball is spot on, the EU ratchet applies to everything.
Jannie - I hope so too, but people are so easily manipulated.
Doonhamer - and when even your spell checker tries to give you a hint, then we know it must be so.
James - which comes in different colours.
