Reform MP Sarah Pochin Accused of Lying About Impact of Illegal Migrants by Labour Council

Runcorn's new Reform MP Sarah Pochin has warned that the town is being ravaged by a high number of illegal immigrants, but the local Labour council accuses her of lying. Steven Tucker investigates for the Daily Sceptic.

Back in May, as I reported previously on the Daily Sceptic, the small and economically depressed post-industrial Merseyside town of Runcorn held a by-election. The former long-term Labour Party stronghold returned the Reform UK candidate, Sarah Pochin, as its new MP by a record low-margin of only six votes, overturning a huge previous Labour majority of 14,696. Briefly, Runcorn became the centre of national media attention, before the camera crews packed away their spotlights and headed back down to London and what they deem erroneously to be civilisation.

But what happened in Runcorn next? Chancing to live in the Halton area myself (Halton being the local Borough Council comprising Runcorn, the neighbouring town of Widnes and several other small villages like Daresbury), I know that, once the media left, the story of Sarah Pochin continued. The latest chapter in the saga appeared on the front page of the local newspaper’s June 26th edition, under the headline ‘MP’s portrait of town “not based on reality”: Council leader, community safety boss and police chief blast Pochin for stoking “fear and confusion”.’

What had Pochin been doing? In her eyes, nothing beyond telling the awkward truth about the place she had just been elected to represent: that mass immigration had begun to completely ruin it.

Pochin made her Maiden Speech in the Commons on May 12th, during a debate about the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill, a subject she intended to make her main focus

And of course like grooming gangs of yore this problem doesn’t exist but the playbook is still the same.

As I’m reading this my wife is reading Jayne Senior’s book “Broken and betrayed”.

Nothing is changing, the liars are still lying and the kids are still being raped, and still they come over the channel every single day!

Well, someone’s lying, and I know which way I’m leaning.

A timely reminder, perhaps, for politicians in general, and Reform in particular, that if you make a claim about anything, you really must have chapter and verse on your claim lined up and ready to go, complete with sources as soon as someone queries it, if not sooner…

Liebour skilled at telling bare-faced lies as a matter of policy, accuses its opponents of lying, in order to cover up the multi-cultural-diversi-worsey midden they have made of the UK.

Well I’ll go to the foot of our stairs.

Labour and the Conservatives are terrified of Reform and are it appears working in harmony to destroy it and so maintain their cosy uniparty control.
What they do not understand as with so much since their disconnect with the public is, that we see through their games and it just drives the support for Reform. Better that both Party s focused on the mass problems caused by migration which they caused. than trying to win votes by defaming another party.

Even if Labour and Tories do try to ape Reform what reason would we have to trust that they are not just lying to get elected and will dump it all once in power and working for the global fascist Uniparty.

I wonder how many Labour MPs would like to have an HMO, stuffed with criminal migrants from countries which have already identified by the Home Office as having a high propensity to carry out rapes and other sexual offences, next to their home/s?

Funnily enough, they always seem to be put into working class areas, which are already disadvantaged in many ways, where they can prey on women and girls who (as we know from the Pakistani Rape Gangs) the Authorities will ignore and suppress complaints and reports of abuse.

And that is clearly what the Labour Council and Labour Police and Crime Kommissar are doing in Runcorn.

Move along …. nothing to see.

“Out on the campaign trail, Pochin had repeatedly returned to these themes, strongly suggesting they are real issues locally. Again and again, on film, on TV and online, Pochin publicised claims that she had seen, with her own eyes, clear CCTV footage of immigrants living in Houses of Multiple Occupancy engaged in illegal acts like drug-dealing and knife-crime, whilst the police did very little”.

Hmmm. I wonder what prompted the voters of the “staunchly labour stronghold” of Runcorn to vote Reform if her claims were all a pack of lies? Surely the local people themselves would know the reality from their own experiences and those of friends, colleagues and neighbours?

It’s wrong to characterise HMO residents as all bad. They are just the usual cross section of society, nothing more. Some rich and a snotty, some poor.

There is something wrong with the proliferation of HMO which are essentially stuffed with people as dormitories. I am more of the thought that we are using migrants to build a new slave class, people who work in the black economy for bare subsistence, sleep in a bed on a shift rota, and have nothing to call their own other than the clothes they stand up in.

You can’t be in a cross section of society if you don’t belong to it !!..

The bishop, noticing the curate’s egg, remarks, “I’m afraid you’ve got a bad egg, Mr. Jones.” The curate, eager to be polite and not offend his host, responds, “Oh, no, my Lord, I assure you! Parts of it are excellent!”

The curate’s polite attempt to downplay the obvious: a rotten egg is entirely bad, and claiming “parts of it are excellent” is absurd.

Next week: not all Nazis we’re bad.

The politicians enabling this should be ashamed of their behaviour. I won’t what their motivation to inflict this on society actually is?

Anything a Labour communist says is likely to be propaganda and lies. It is normal for communists to lie because communism is an impossible lie, so they have to cheat and misinform people. Normal business for the lying bstards.
