Former Tory immigration minister Robert Jenrick has advocated for the division of the Home Office into two separate entities to better manage immigration and secure Britain's borders, as part of a broader 30-point plan aimed at reducing migration. Jenrick emphasized the need for a new culture at the Home Office, particularly focusing on efforts to 'stop the boats'. He expressed concerns about voter drift to the Reform party, highlighting that controlling legal migration is crucial for retaining their voter base and securing a Conservative victory in the upcoming election. Additionally, Jenrick mentioned his willingness to welcome Nigel Farage into the Conservative Party, reflecting a strategic approach to consolidate right-leaning voters.
