The Spin

Left narrative

High Court relief rightly exposes the Home Office's shambolic rush to deport without proper legal process. Last-minute challenges are a response to illegal government activity, while amending guidance to block appeals is a cynical circumvention of justice instead of an attempt to fix a broken system.

Right narrative

Another predictable court defeat exposes Labour's weak immigration policy as the "one in, one out" farce collapses thanks to liberal law fare. Until the U.K. revokes human rights protections for illegal arrivals and restores democratic control, these crossings will continue to undermine national security.
