Migration being significantly lower than 3 years ago constitutes an emergency, huh

Good on them- it is an emergency and they bear a lot of the brunt of it. They can’t do a lot until government policies change, but they should be doing everything they can.

Bad journalism here.
The headline – as posted here – says „declare migration emergency“.
The article says an „illegal migration emergency“.
There’s a (not really) subtle and somewhat significant difference between those sentences and the point being made.
However you feel about it, the reporting is at best bad – and at worst loaded or biased.

I’d like to declare a nonce emergency against Trump and all his drooling lapdogs (farage included). And a Russian money whore emergency (farage included). Both are a damn site more of an issue than this „emergency“.

From the info box in the article:
>There were no asylum seekers in hotels in Maidstone…
>Asylum seekers in other forms of accommodation as of December 2025
>27.
>This is less than half the average for a UK council with asylum seekers in non-hotel accommodation, if you calculated it as a share of its population.
Huh.

Even if Farage becomes PM, they will not stop mass immigration and have made this clear.
All they say they will do is deport ’some‘ of the illegals already in the UK, and make some efforts to slow down arrivals.
They are no better than the conservatives.

This is meaningless posturing. The motion calls on the leader of the council to demand the government do various things.
The same council that was concerned about cuts to care visas
