Today #UK PM Rishi Sunak launched a new strategy to stop #irregularcrossings (#illegalmigration in his words) which is very similar to the one they already had and didn't really work. Perhaps the few tweaks they introduced may have some impact BUT this is not really the point, the point is the political capital that we hopes to gain from it, the political diversion from far bigger issues, the spectacle of leadership he thinks he can project by touching the issue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4d_sYNcbHUs
