YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFor almost a decade, Yvette Cooper has been one of the most prominent voices in Britain’s immigration debate. But has her position stayed the same?
Hear Cooper’s changing asylum and immigration rhetoric from 2015 to her speech in the Commons yesterday as Home Secretary, from when she pressed Britain to take more responsibility for unaccompanied children in 2015 to her temporary closure of family asylum routes yesterday.
She also made a strong case for the respect of international law, only to promise changes to how the UK interprets Article 8 of the ECHR. Cooper is the now the one insisting on tougher border enforcement, and the progressive arguments she once made from the opposition benches stand in stark contrast to the tougher rhetoric she delivers from the Despatch Box as Home Secretary.
