Reva Gudi: No ID is required for NHS care, but GP receptionists should not be immigration officials

NHS care may be free at the point of use, but it is never free to provide. This is not an argument about immigration. It is about entitlement, fairness and responsible stewardship of a finite resource. The NHS has a responsibility towards its patients and is accountable to the taxpayer. It must stay true to both. The post Reva Gudi: No ID is required for NHS care, but GP receptionists should not be immigration officials appeared first on Conservative Home.

Sarah Ingham: Britain is Ceuta in slow motion

There is a wilful naivety which insists that all illegal small boat people are desperate refugees fleeing warzones.  It is matched by successive British governments’ touching faith that France will help them solve the migrant problem.

Mario Creatura: Immigration must be fair. That means leaving the ECHR

Leaving the ECHR is about more than sovereign control of our borders. It sends a signal about our standards, our values and our respect for law and order. That’s why it’s such an important policy. The post Mario Creatura: Immigration must be fair. That means leaving the ECHR appeared first on Conservative Home.

Chris Philp: Labour have allowed a surge in small boat crossings. Will Burnham be better?

Burnham will face just the same challenge over migration. The public want action, but his backbenchers don’t. He will need to decide quickly whose side he is on, and whether he intends to govern for the Labour left or the country. The post Chris Philp: Labour have allowed a surge in small boat crossings. Will Burnham be better? appeared first on Conservative Home.

Blake Stephenson: Britain should not gamble its borders on at home English tests

English language testing is one of the many tools the Home Office must deploy to ensure our immigration processes are robust. My recent recommendation: is that the UK Government should not move to remote and digital-by-default English language testing for visas.

Henry Clifford: Mental health is the missing link for immigrant integration

Integration is an increasingly important part of our politics. To address the issues caused by mass immigration properly we need to broaden our analysis to include all elements of the process, only then can we formulate policies which address the underlying issues.

Chris Philp: Labour Ministers are weakening our borders as they pander to the left. Only the Conservatives have a plan to fix this

My message to Andy Burnham is this: stick with the ILR policy Labour copied from us last autumn. Don’t weaken it. And adopt the tough further measures the Conservatives have set out. The post Chris Philp: Labour Ministers are weakening our borders as they pander to the left. Only the Conservatives have a plan to fix this appeared first on Conservative Home.

Katie Lam: What did Starmer actually achieve?

Regardless of the churn at the top, the fundamentals remain the same. Labour will not secure our borders, they will not cut our ballooning welfare bill, and they will not do what’s necessary to keep our country safe. They are simply not dispositionally or ideologically capable of making the trade-offs that we need to make in order to fix any of these problems.

Georgia Gilholy: The assisted suicide lobby is desperate but we shouldn’t give in

The country has more urgent concerns: immigration, crime, energy, industry, housing. It is extraordinary that, at the whim of one backbencher and a well-funded lobby, Labour seems destined to be drawn into wasting time tearing itself apart still further over radical social change.

Brandon To: As an immigrant I’d say Britain’s policing isn’t “two-tier” – it’s too terrified

By reforming the guidance that currently paralyses our frontline, we can restore the confidence of our police officers. True anti-racism in policing should not be hesitation, but confidence that when the police act, they do so with the full, unbiased weight of the law behind them. The post Brandon To: As an immigrant I’d say Britain’s policing isn’t “two-tier” – it’s too terrified appeared first on Conservative Home.

Chris Heaton-Harris and Gaurav Menon: Who Cares? Part 3 – Immigration, employment and the care sector

International recruitment has a role to play - but as a complement to domestic workforce development, not a substitute for it. The breathing space that international recruitment provided has not been used to build a domestic alternative. The window in which that can be built is narrowing.

Tomas Roberto: We must shut down Hong Kong’s office for intimidation and repression in Britain

Britain has, quite rightly, offered refuge to Hong Kongers fleeing political persecution. It cannot simultaneously allow the apparatus of that persecution to operate, unchecked, within its own borders.  The post Tomas Roberto: We must shut down Hong Kong’s office for intimidation and repression in Britain appeared first on Conservative Home.
