MANCHESTER AIRPORT WHISTLEBLOWER Serious allegations are being made by someone claiming to be a serving Border Force officer at Manchester Airport. The whistleblower alleges that aircraft are arriving between 2am and 4am, several times a week, carrying 200–300 people from the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa, who are allegedly processed by Home Office staff rather than Border Force and taken away on unmarked buses. If this account is genuine, these are extremely serious allegations and the Government should provide clear answers. Are these flights operating? Who are the passengers? Where are they coming from? Who authorised their arrival and what immigration checks are being carried out? These claims need to be independently investigated and either substantiated or categorically disproved. The public deserves transparency about what is happening at our borders. @ShabanaMahmood @andyburnham The truth will be exposed I have no doubt and the British people will never forgive this Labour government.
