Mahmood says she could......

[vladi]

..........................  suspend visas from countries that do not "play ball" on returning over-stayers and illegal migrants.

why "could" . Why not do it now? Getting it done now would  undermine Reform's position and give Labour a "win" - even though the Tories had signalled they were going to do this before they got turfed out.

Maybe its a discussion point to get countries to accept their people back, without having to act it out, however if the bluff is called then it might be enacted.

Hence the "could" and not the "will " at this stage 

Politics is a funny game.

It's just flying a kite and a gutless statement that will result in no remedy to the situation.

Surely the only way to get these countries to sit up and think about it is to bring in the measures immediately. Anything less just suggests that the UK is a soft touch - just a toothless , senile old tiger.

“These countries”

 

”sit up and take notice”

Christ but this country is childish sometimes. Like “these countries” don’t take much higher percentage of immigrants anyway 

or like the uk doesn’t already face a skills shortage and in no way has the ability or desire to piss off people from other countries we will very much want to come here

Wow yet another thread to bash Labour.  Good news is I'll be posting the Johnson files, and  Farage hypocrisy, threads shortly.

Is it a bashing Labour thread or is it simply the OP questioning the use of "could" and not "will" ? 

I think its the latter not the former but im sure you will disagree.

To be fair, it’s more than ok to bash Labour. I think she is a terrible appointment, I think her motivations and follow-through with an announcement like this is problematic and shows that Labour are intent on chasing votes from the likes of Vladi instead of me 

and vladi’s reaction is exactly why not only are Labour abandoning their core vote and morals, but why they are stooopid to do so
