Tory Poster Slamming Labour's Migration Plan Falls Flat
The Conservative Party faced backlash on social media for releasing a controversial poster criticizing Labour's border policies. Critics argue that the poster is misleading due to its use of numbers.
Featuring large, red letters, the poster claims, "Labour's border pledge means 100,000 migrants arriving in Britain each and every year." This comes after Labour leader Keir Starmer announced plans to work closely with the EU to address the migrant crisis, proposing a deal to accept a quota of asylum seekers in exchange for returning those who cross the Channel.

The Guardian speculates that it may be based on the assumption that the UK should accept a proportional share of the one million migrants who arrive in Europe annually.
Starmer has chosen not to discuss specific numbers, focusing instead on preventing people from crossing the Channel in small boats. In response to the Tory campaign, he stated, "It’s embarrassing that the government is pumping out this nonsense. I can only assume it’s because they’ve got nothing sensible to say on the issue."
Reactions on Twitter:
Horrendous poster. That the PM and Minister of State for Immigration and party feel comfortable sharing it makes the outcry over the UKIP 'breaking point' poster feel like a very different time. https://t.co/uJY1AaIsGY

This is a lie.
It’s yet more proof of how the Conservative Party has sunk to the lowest level - desperately fishing for votes in the depths of British politics.

This is certainly inaccurate, since Labour have made no such pledge.
Conservatives running on *numbers* risk having own record thrown back at them. They have broken two big pledges about numbers in office: reduce net migration & stop boats/remove all who cross Channel quickly https://t.co/vimLjT9PiM

No they haven't. They have pledged to accept genuine asylum seekers who wish to make their claim in the UK as our international obligations require. It is the @Conservatives who are attempting to renege on those treaties, some of which we actually drafted. Stop with the…
