Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: โ€œA party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.โ€
I suppose I shouldnโ€™t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said โ€œwe have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.โ€
She said โ€œmaybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when โ€ฆ

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

"We're bombing Iran because they might make a bomb they could use in the event of a war, not like the nice bombs we used to start the war, or the bombs we are now all using now war has started proper, they also might plan to assassinate a leader which is terrible so we've assassinated their leaders"

Maybeโ€ฆwas 1 min 2 seconds off my best time in that directionโ€ฆitโ€™s a lot faster going the other way down there. The advantage of going that way round is that I wasnโ€™t into a headwind along the A4 to Newbury, and had a fairly quick ride back from there๐Ÿ‘
