This is another example of wilful deceit and statistical manipulation by the Home Office.
A 41% increase in 'removals'?
That's certainly not what the data shows.
By using the broad term “removals” and highlighting a percentage increase, Shabana Mahmood is trying to create the impression of strong border enforcement when the reality is very different.
Over 70% of the government's 'returns' figure are not removals at all, but voluntary returns. The true number of enforced removals is a fraction of the total.
Perhaps the people should be asking,
How much did this, so called, '41% increase' cost the British taxpayer in voluntary departure payments?
The British public is not fooled. They can see that illegal migration continues at high levels and that the government is more focused on spin than on actually removing those with no right to be here.
Britain needs restoration and an end to foreign influence in our national affairs.

Removals are 41% higher under this Labour Government.
There is no place in our country for those who come here illegally or break our laws.
