Tbf, and as I've been saying on here for months, the situation has been building all summer. The spark seems to have been some parliamentary committee last week when a lot of facts seeped out which got a lot more media attention.

I agree though, and it's ironic given they have been in power for 12 years, but on dealing with issues like this they will always appear stronger and be comfortable being so.

I imagine numbers arriving this way will see a sharp decline in coming months, so they have a period of time to try and clear the backlog and sort things out, because I don't think the country would tolerate another summer of it tbh.
