During August, opposition parties typically launch campaigns due to the lack of domestic news. Nigel Farage's Reform UK is focusing on crime for their third consecutive week, linking asylum seekers to criminal activity. The Conservative party is also highlighting migration as a public safety threat, without a cohesive campaign theme. Kemi Badenoch campaigned against the previous government's budget, while Chris Philp criticized Labour's handling of border control, citing a rise in crime associated with illegal immigrants. Robert Jenrick asserted a connection between illegal migration and crime, particularly against women.
In London, 40% last year of all of the sexual crimes were committed by foreign nationals, despite the fact that they only make up 25% of the population.
Some of the data that we're seeing we don't have good data at the moment; some of the data we're seeing is very striking.
The Conservative party don't have a single theme for their summer campaigning, depicting these migrants as a threat to public safety.
Reform's success in the polls is almost entirely down to the fact it advocates hardline policies to cut immigration and small boat crossings.
