It can be both, no?

Feeding the immigrants may be small potatoes., but the legal fees that comes from it wont be.

How much Russian oligarch money did we freeze from all the billionaires? 25 billion or something!

In 2022 immigration( legal or otherwise) was costing the taxpayer 3 billion a year, I'm assuming that will have doubled by now, so it dont take much maths with those 2 figures to work out what's draining our tax money. Tax money desperately needed elsewhere.

Look at our inner cities, the large ones are decaying before our very eyes at a rapid rate while our smaller ones have become ghost towns.

Its evident that we cant sustain the influx and the costs that come with it..its not like it's going away anytime soon.

But yeah, labour when in opposition often spun out the mantra that billionaires should be taxed higher, but now in power they have ran away from that idea like many many other ideas they used to boast about..
