The article discusses the growing disillusionment among the public in Britain, emphasizing the need for effective government handling of pressing issues such as the cost of living, immigration, and welfare. The author critiques the government's tough stance on immigration as ineffective and points out that asylum seekers are often not influenced by policy changes. Instead, the focus should be on delivering tangible results and addressing voter concerns, particularly regarding asylum hotels and Channel crossings, which could help rebuild trust in the government.
Deep disillusionment is now driving the public mood in Britain. People are desperate for competent government to handle issues like the cost of living, welfare and immigration. And they want people to be treated fairly and with dignity, whether they are asylum seekers, disabled people or pensioners.
The only way to get a hearing with Reform voters on asylum is to deliver results. An immigration white paper expected on Monday will signal a further hardening of policy towards those seeking asylum.
These plans won't make any material difference to the lives of people voting for Reform. For the average voter, they are meaningless.
Delivering on this is where the government has a chance to rebuild trust.
