Are judges fuelling Britain’s migration crisis?

The Telegraph has revealed that a family of six Palestinians seeking to flee Gaza has been granted the right to live in the UK using a scheme meant for Ukrainian refugees. The Home Office initially rejected their application, but a judge overruled the decision as it breached their rights under the ECHR.

It is an immigration tribunal decision which comes hot on the heels of the Albanian criminal whose deportation was halted in part because of his son’s distaste for foreign chicken nuggets.

Kamal and Camilla ask whether this ruling will open the floodgates for mass migration, and pose the question - who is really in control of our borders, Parliament or the judiciary?

They also reflect on Kemi Badenoch’s performance at Prime Minister’s Questions this lunchtime, as the Tory leader took the chance to grill Keir Starmer on the decision to allow the Gazan family to settle here.
