Jack Polanski This announcement has seized Labour’s shift to the right on immigration and human rights green Party Will allow migrants arriving on small boats to live and work in Britain.
Green Party leader alleged sir keir starmer And Labor matched “the racist rhetoric of the far right, from Nigel Farage to Tommy Robinson”, insisting that a new approach to the migrant crisis is needed.
On a trip to France, Mr. Polanski was seen helping people board small boats and fill their water tanks.
His intervention comes amid concerns that Labor is losing more support to the Greens than before to improve,
“We need to make racism unacceptable again,” he said. many times In France. “We’ve seen situations where the people of Ukraine have been welcomed into the country with open arms, and that’s as they should be, facing illegal invasion. But where is that same hospitality for the Sudanese people, the Eritrean people, the Yemeni people?
“I don’t think British people are inherently racist. But there’s this scarcity mentality that is true because we have a government that is austerity and underfunding communities that matches the racist rhetoric of the far right from Nigel Farage to Tommy Robinson. That’s what’s fueling all this.”
He said: “I think Nigel Farage is setting the direction and Keir Starmer is catching on to it as quickly as possible. That’s why we’re seeing a Labor Party that is surging in the polls because they refuse to stand for anything and I think the British public are much smarter than that. I think they’re much more compassionate than that.
“Certainly people will be concerned about heinous crimes being committed, whether by a migrant or someone born in the UK. But this has deliberately muddied the conversation about the many people fleeing war and persecution who are stuck in Calais.”

At a Tony Blair Institute event earlier this week, Ms Mahmood spoke about the immigration crisis, saying British people are “decent, honest and tolerant” of immigrants – but only if they come here legally. And she claimed there is support for stronger controls on illegal and legal immigration from both “white and non-white working class communities”.
