Britain’s first female Muslim Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood had a rough start on Saturday, with over 1,000 illegal migrants arriving after crossing the English Channel from France on her first day in office.
Mahmood, a former pro-Palestinian activist whose Pakistani parents migrated to England from Mirpur in the disputed Kashmir region, was tasked by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on Friday to run the Home Office, the cabinet department tasked with controlling immigration and protecting Britain’s borders.
It came amid the forced Downing Street reshuffle sparked by the scandal-induced resignation of former Deputy PM Angela Rayner over the socialist politician’s failure to pay full property taxes on the purchase her second home.
The ensuing musical chairs resulted in former Home Secretary Yvette Cooper — who oversaw a record-setting pace of illegal Channel crossings — being moved to the Foreign Office, and Justice Secretary Mahmood being elevated to the position of Home Secretary.

They are in serious trouble...
‘Rough day’ because of too many or too few?
And how many of British voters actually voted for this madness?!
Good question.

Rough start? If Mahmood is unhappy, it’s because it was only 1,000 and not 10,000.
As a side note, her appointment shows Starmer’s true intentions. He could have appointed a tough retired military man as Home Secretary. Instead he appointed a devout Muslim.
If she was Starmer’s appointee, he never wanted any degree of effectiveness on her part. “Success”, in government and bureaucracy is more accurately defined by “whatever grows government and budgets, while stripping liberties of the general population”. Some of governments most celebrated successes are truly what have failed miserably, as failure keeps expectations low, budgets growing, with zero accountability.
Mahmood loves her some co-religionist head choppers!

In the last UK general election, Labour got only 34% of the vote. But because the many other parties split the vote, that 34% was enough to give Labour a huge majority in Parliament.
This of course doesn’t mean 34% of Brits want unrestricted immigration. Some of them voted for Labour to punish the worthless Tories. And some voted for Labour just because grandfather voted for Labour.
🙁
Labour got only 34% of the vote.“
That’s stunning to me. So roughly a third of the country put this nation killing nightmare in place. I thought our system was flawed but that is catastrophic.
Our Founders were wise in making House of Representatives elections every two years. This gives the voters at least a chance to correct things in a timely manner.
But in the UK, the election for Parliament can be as much as five years apart. This means UK voters won’t have another say before August of 2029.
Side note: An earlier election is possible when a coalition in Parliament falls apart. But Labour has a huge majority all on its own. There is no coalition.
Goodbye UK ... and UE ... and Scandinavia
' Yeah, I'm sure she'll do her best to protect Britain's borders and keep illegal migrants out of the UK...
The UK is over. Decent people better be moving on...
She’ll make sure it is 10,000 by next week.
Yep, that’s about right but I would add that government prefers to perpetuate problems rather than solve them. Continuing problems keep the money and power growing.
