Politicians must be frank on immigration - because if they aren't, extremists will fill the gap, Andrew Marr has said.
Who broke the asylum system? Sir Keir clashes with Rishi at PMQs as he calls for PM to appoint a 'proper' home secretary
"And if mainstream politicians don't discuss it, there are plenty of extremists eager to step into the gap. Earlier this week the home secretary Suella Braverman called the arrival of migrants an invasion of England’s south coast - words condemned by the UN human rights commissioner and the prime minister of Albania, from where some 12,000 people have come this year. More about Albania later.
"But Braverman also provided the Labour leader with his attack line this afternoon. She’d said the asylum system was broken and illegal migration, was out of control. Sometimes – note to self - the best questions are the shortest ones. "Rishi Sunak fought back with some vigour. He accused Labour of having a blank sheet of paper instead of a policy, and reminded Starmer - again - that he’d once backed the then Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. But what we didn't hear from the new Prime Minister was a detailed defence of his government’s current record because, frankly, that's pretty indefensible.
"And then this afternoon came a letter from 14 council leaders, most of them Conservatives, in Kent and Medway, telling the Home Secretary that because of the number of unaccompanied migrant children - and now adults too - that it has to accommodate, 'put simply, Kent is at breaking point.'"
