Home secretary Priti Patel delivered a key-note speech on immigration at a
conference on Monday, pledging to “fix” Britain’s “broken immigration
system”.

Ms Patel has spoken publicly this weekend about immigration reforms
announced in the Queen’s Speech a fortnight ago, calling out those who wish
to “sow dissent” by labelling reforms as “anti-immigration” and insisting the
government has a mandate from the electorate which is “impossible” to
ignore.

Speaking at a conference organised by the Bright Blue and British Future
think tanks, Ms Patel addressed current concerns about immigration and
unveiled her plans for future reforms.

“It was seen as entirely proper for the British people to express their wishes
at the ballot box on matters such as taxation, healthcare, education,
pensions, international relations, the environment and law and order, and
yet concerns about immigration, its impact upon communities, would in some
quarters be met with derision and scorn by parts of the political class,” the
home secretary claimed.

“Far too many politicians were indifferent to public opinion about this issue
and too many were happy to assert that even raising the topic of
immigration was racist.

“It has taken a referendum and a change of government for politicians to
recognise that by ignoring this issue, public frustration has also contributed
and led to the reframing of this debate.

“It is a fact that successive governments have failed to control immigration.
The problems and unhappiness became impossible for any politician to
continue to ignore.”

Ms Patel said that in the Brexit referendum, “the British people voted to take
back control of our borders.

“They then drove the message home again at the 2019 general election,” she
added, insisting that “political parties have a responsibility to face reality.

“People from every part of the world are here in the UK and are making
enormous contributions for society, culture, economy and individual lives.
We all cherish this and I want this to be part of our national life and our place
in the world.”

However, Ms Patel insisted that whilst sensible levels of immigration can
bring positives to British culture and economy, “it is sheer fantasy to say that
we can give a home to anyone who wants to come here” and pledged that
new reforms would ensure control over numbers and fairness across the
board.
