Quentin Letts at the Labour hopeful's big migration speech

If every area took ten families, Britain could 'do its bit' to stop the suffering of refugees. "I'm asking the Prime Minister, I'm asking Scotland and Wales, I'm asking councils, I'm asking communities, I'm asking faith groups, I'm asking campaigning organisations, I'm asking everyone," said Yvette Cooper during her speech at the CER. ...The CER's director, Charles Grant, a biographer of Jacques Delors, had opened proceedings by saying that the migration crisis could only be solved if we remained in the EU. Miss Cooper swallowed and repeated this claim. .

She said that "we need to argue for things which won't be popular with everyone but if we come together we can do that".
