When you were asked about the Boriswave in The Spectator you said you “didn’t want to get into the weeds of it”. Only Reform UK has a detailed, worked through plan for overturning the Boriswave. As usual, this is posturing for clicks.

We are uniquely stupid in giving foreign workers the right to bring loads of dependents and then fast track citizenship.
IT IS NATIONAL SUICIDE

In some London boroughs, social housing is made up of 70% people born abroad (lead tenants).
London as a whole is around 50%.
We’ve allowed mass immigration to bankrupt us.

Andy Burnham has betrayed Britain.
I will be reacting to Mahmood's big announcement live at 4:30pm.
You won’t want to miss it.

Andy Burnham has betrayed Britain
Labour said the Boriswave was a 'one-nation experiment in open borders' that had caused 'incalculable' damage.
I resigned when I couldn’t get the Conservative government to do what was needed to fix this mess.
Now Labour seek to *lock* in the Boriswave, and effectively give blanket citizenship to them.
Reform UK will not let this generational mistake stand.

Shabana Mahmood just sold out to the far left of the Labour Party.
She was never a hardliner.
Labour is about to unleash a huge wave of immigration.
If they are not stopped they will destroy Britain.

BETRAYAL
Open Borders Burnham allows millions low skilled / no skilled migrants citizenship after just 5 years
Home Secretary cowardly caves in

🚨BREAKING: Henry Nowak's family claim they were "manipulated in our darkest hour" by police after his murder

It's not difficult at all. It's too high. Most sensible people know it.
Andy Burnham tells @DanielHewittITV it is 'difficult to say' whether legal migration is too high or low itv.com/news/2026-10-30/andy…

To all the Owd Miners and their families.
And my dad.
🚨MINEWORKERS PENSION SCHEME
Today, Reform UK calls on the Government to finally settle the mine workers pension scheme (MPS) and pay its members before Christmas; if it fails to do so, Reform UK commits to doing so within 100 days of entering Government.
To the dismay of many, the Chancellor failed to set a clear and unambiguous timetable for resolving the MPS in the Autumn Budget. The Prime Minister was also unable to provide the clarity miners deserve when subsequently questioned.
Enough is enough. Miners and their families have waited too long. Tragically, 18 ex-miners die every day without the fair resolution of this matter they deserve.
The members must now be paid by Christmas.
If that does not happen, a Reform UK government will end surplus sharing and the standstill mechanism and immediately transfer the undistributed surplus funds (including the Guarantor’s Fund) to MPS members.
No more messing around. Miners can be assured that they will get the resolution they have been denied until now under a Reform UK Government.

This was a major achievement of our trade deal with Australia and hard fought!
Young Brits no longer have to do farm work as part of their stay in Australia - bringing big opportunities for them.
Typical that Andy Burnham wants to give this away.
Is there nothing this man won't betray or surrender?
🚨🇦🇺 NEW: Andy Burnham and Anthony Albanese are set to discuss increasing restrictions on British backpackers using Working Holiday Visas in Australia
Proposals include removing an exemption that means Brits don’t have to do rural work to extend their visa as well as the introduction of a migration cap

Andy Burnham & Labour are gaslighting you. They say net migration is coming down so relax.
Here's what they are not telling you ⬇️
First, they are massively expanding immigration by launching new sponsorship routes, resettlement schemes from Gaza & Afghanistan, lowering the salary requirements for visas, introducing youth migration from Europe, and softening their reforms to 'Indefinite Leave to Remain', making the Boriswave permanent.
They don't want you to know about all this. And on top of that they are also pushing for EU free movement.
Second, the reason you no longer recognise your cities, towns and increasingly your villages is because of the "churn" that is going on beneath the static net migration figures that they present to as "progress".
Net migration is nearly 200,000 a year. But now look at what is going on beneath that figure:
Last year, 627,000 people migrated into Britain from outside Europe, with 350,000 staying.
At the same time, roughly 246,000 British people left Britain, with 136,000 leaving and not returning.
Increasingly, Britain is losing its best and brightest while its politicians and global corporations import masses of migrants from radically different cultures, nations, and economies.
This is why you increasingly feel like a stranger in your own country and no longer recognise the places you once knew.
And now it will accelerate.
Look at the budget small print last week.
While Burnham tells you migration is "coming down" they are actively planning on importing another 1 million people between today and 2031.
Another two cities the size of Liverpool in just a few years.
And they will not leave the European Convention on Human Rights which means we will never be able to stop the boats and control our own borders & laws.
I explain all this to readers 2-3 times a week, none of whom will be surprised by what Shabana Mahmood says today because we called it out months ago.
Don't believe what they are telling you.
They are gaslighting you.

The government’s grandest plane, an A321 jet, took off from Stansted at 6.05 a.m. this morning. Burnham wasn't on it. It flew 34 minutes to Manchester to collect the PM, then set off for the Commonwealth summit in Antigua. Guido estimates the detour cost around £20,000 of taxpayer cash. Avanti not good enough for him?
Flight tracking data shows the jet landed in Manchester at 6.39 a.m. and left again at 8.06 a.m., heading for a refuelling stop in Newfoundland before the Caribbean. The government eventually publishes what every trip on the plane costs. Starmer’s same-day trip to Paris on in April came to £39,756 at roughly £20,000 a leg. Stansted to Manchester is shorter than Paris, but every additional leg brings its own landing and handling fees. About £18,000-20,000’s worth according to Guido’s fag packet maths…
The whole jaunt, there and back, comes to about 21 hours of flying. Based on Starmer’s £121,239 trip to Yerevan in May and Yvette Cooper’s £148,700 trip to Washington in December, long-haul flying on the plane costs between £9,500 and £12,400 an hour. That puts Burnham's full trip at about £250,000.
Burnham took the same government jet from Glasgow to Manchester in July to open No10 North, despite a choice of trains. When Liz Truss used the same plane to fly to Australia, @AngelaRayner called it a “ridiculous waste of half a million pounds on a private jet trip”. Thoughts on this one, Ange?

Andy Burnham thinks it’s “hard to say” whether immigration is too high.
I’ll make it clear for him: it’s too high.
The British people, time and time again, have made it clear for him: it’s too high.
Public services are on the brink of collapse because Labour and the Tories imported over 9 MILLION people in just 10 years.
Each GP now has nearly 200 more patients than in 2015. We’d need 3,000 more GPs just to get back to where we were.
We have over 6 million people on waiting for hospital care, with 110,000 of them waiting over a year for treatment.
A million young people are still without work, having to compete with half the world just to get a job.
1.3 million households are waiting for social housing.
1.5 million foreign nationals are receiving welfare, at a cost of £23 billion a year.
And in the next few years, Labour is expected to add another million people.
Burnham still can’t bring himself to say that’s too high.
This is madness. And it is a betrayal.
Reform will deliver net negative migration.
We will deport every illegal migrant and abolish ILR.
We will put the British people first.
