I think Sunak wants her to hang around a bit longer so she can carry the can for the all-time highest number of legal migrants, due for announcement this week with suggestions it's 700k-800k people. That being said I think we're doing the right thing for Hong Kongers and Ukranians but we need to build enough housing for them!

It’s always someone else’s fault…

Surfers turned up in Scarborough to protest about sewage pollution and were told not to go in the sea after because of...... sewage pollution

The lack of opportunities is not the fault of the people who might be asked to implement them had they existed

Ukraine should be separated from Hong Kong. I am confident that the vast majority of Ukrainians would go home when the war is over.
As for Hong Kong, you could argue the case for allowing 100,000 of migrants in is less compelling given the fact they are not fleeing a situation where their lives are at risk. Very few I suspect plan to return to Hong Kong.
What is telling, and this is at the heart of the small boats faux-outrage, is that no one is angry at the people arriving from HK and the increased demand on Infra as a result.

Re: Britain outside the EU
Are they putting up HK immigrants in £6m/day hotels?

They would be if their paperwork was deliberately delayed to make people angry

Re: Britain outside the EU
Excellent news.

Jaguar Land Rover-owner to pick UK over Spain for giant car battery plant
The UK is set to win a battle with Spain to host a multi-billion-pound electric car battery plant in Somerset, the BBC understands
The boss of Jaguar Land Rover-owner Tata is expected to fly to London next week to finalise the deal.
Some in the car industry have described the plant as the most significant investment in UK automotive since Nissan came to Britain in the 1980s.
Tata's chairman is scheduled to meet the prime minister mid-next week.
Sources familiar with the matter say that although the deal has yet to be signed, engagement has moved from negotiations to drafting and choreography of how the landmark agreement will be presented.
Up to 9,000 jobs would be created at the Bridgwater site, close to the M5.
The UK government has acknowledged the urgent need for electric vehicle battery manufacturing in the UK to secure the future of the car industry.
The country's automotive sector employs up to 800,000 people directly and in the supply chain.
When pressed on the subject last week, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt told the BBC to "watch this space".

Along with additional energy discounts, it will bring the total incentive package to Tata close to £800m.

What is interesting is that (from the same article):
Quote:
Some industry insiders hope that the Tata battery investment will open the door to further battery investments in the UK, which currently only has one plant in operation next to Nissan's Sunderland factory, and one barely on the drawing board in Northumberland.
By contrast the EU has 35 plants open, under construction or planned.

35 built/building/planned is an average of 1.2 plants per member state. Which makes 2 in the UK above average.
