Boris Johnson has warned a Labour ‘supermajority’ will lead to “more illegal immigration” and “ pointless, limp kowtowing to Brussels”.

The former Prime Minister, supporting his former Home Secretary Dame Priti Patel’s re-election campaign in Witham, Essex, said Sir Keir Starmer will hike taxes and cosy up to the EU.
Mr Johnson said the Rwanda scheme is “our best hope” of ending the Channel migrant crisis. He warned: “All of that would be put at risk by Keir Starmer and the Labour Party.

“Unless you vote for Priti in Witham there is a risk that we’ll get an even bigger Labour majority, a really big Labour majority, with more wokery, more illegal immigration, more pointless, limp kowtowing to Brussels and of course ever higher taxation for you and your family under Keir Starmer and the Labour Party.”
Mr Johnson, who has been putting out social media videos in support of some Conservative candidates, said Ms Patel was one of the “original Brexiteers”.
He added: “[She] really drove that Rwanda scheme, believe me, is still our best hope of stopping illegal cross-Channel gangs from bringing people into our country”.

Dame Priti Patel added in a tweet: "As Boris says; the people of the Witham constituency should ‘stick with Prit!’ Thank you to my great friend, the former Prime Minister Boris Johnson for his support and friendship.
"On the 4th July I’m asking voters across the Witham constituency to re-elect me on my local record of delivery and for standing up for this beautiful part of Essex."
Two new opinion polls have suggested Labour is on course for a large majority, maintaining a healthy lead over the Conservatives in second and Reform in third place.
Savanta puts Labour on 39%, the Conservatives 24% and Reform on 13% while JL Partners had the same figures for the two major parties but Reform on 16%.
Labour has vowed to scrap the Rwanda scheme, prompting fears the party is essentially hoping for better results despite doing less.

Sir Keir Starmer was questioned about his approach to tackling the small boats crisis during a visit to a warehouse in Derbyshire.
The Labour leader said: "We have to get to grips with it. We've got too many people making that journey across the channel, 50,000 people have come since Rishi Sunak became Prime Minister - he said 'I'm going to stop the boats', 50,000 people have come on the boats."
Sir Keir again set out Labour's plan to tackle the gang by using cross-border intelligence-sharing and law enforcement action.
One worker said military veterans were on the streets while asylum seekers were being held in hotels.

Sir Keir said: "That is exactly why we've got to fix this problem. Because at the moment, it's costing millions of pounds for the rent in hotels, that is just not sustainable.
"So, we've got to fix that problem. And you're absolutely right, that you've got ex-military who are really struggling."
