Birmingham Mail
|September 25, 2025
HOME Secretary Shabana Mahmood says the rhetoric of the far right “is getting out of control” as she pledged to improve border security.
-
Describing a secure border as “necessary” for positive race relations, Ms Mahmood said politicians had a duty not to let patriotism cross into nationalism.
Ms Mahmood has promised “to do whatever it takes to secure our border” and fight legal challenges to prevent deportations “at every step”.
Speaking to ITV News, the MP for Birmingham Ladywood said: “If we have got control of our borders I think that creates the space for fundamental, decent, British people to be welcoming of those who come to our country and to contribute.
“I think that having a secure border is necessary for maintaining what is actually very positive race relations in our country.
