«Breaking News» Allies of Home Secretary Sajid Jarvid go on the offensive with a 'class war'

After a torrid week in which Sajid Javid was widely criticised for his handling of the Channel migrants crisis – and mocked for alleged self-aggrandisement – allies of the Home Secretary have now gone on the offensive with a ‘class war’ attack on rivals Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt.

Friends of comprehensive-educated Mr Javid, a frontrunner to succeed Theresa May, have appealed to Tory Party members not to elect a ‘public school Oxbridge’ leader when the keys to No 10 become available.

After being forced to fly back from a holiday in South Africa last weekend to deal with the Channel crisis, he was dubbed ‘Safari Sajid’ by one rival leadership camp.

Mr Javid was also embroiled in a row with Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson over who should foot the £20,000-a-day cost of a Royal Navy vessel to intercept migrant boats setting off from France.

And it was mischievously claimed that Mr Javid, 49, privately referred to himself in grand fashion as ‘The Saj’ – a claim fiercely denied by aides.

But now one of his closest allies has called on the Tory Party to swing behind him as the leader-in-waiting, citing his backstory as the comprehensive school-educated son of an Asian bus driver who became a City high-flier before entering Parliament.

It comes amid frenzied jostling among potential leadership contenders after Mrs May confirmed last month that she would not lead the Conservative Party into the next General Election.

An ally of the Home Secretary told The Mail on Sunday: ‘We have to break the stranglehold of public schoolboy, Oxbridge-educated, as the default option for who runs the party. After Theresa has gone, we can’t go back to that ridiculous, outdated approach.

‘It’s time the Tories moved on and picked someone who is just more representative of modern-day Britain as a whole.’

The remarks will be seen as a swipe at the contenders Mr Javid’s camp see as his main rivals for the leadership: Eton-and-Oxford-educated Boris Johnson and Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, who went to Charterhouse and Oxford.

Mr Javid’s father, Abdul, arrived in Britain in 1961 from Pakistan with just £1 in his pocket. He earned the nickname ‘Mr Night and Day’ as he lifted his five sons and wife out of poverty by working tirelessly as a bus driver, factory worker and shop owner.

The family lived in Rochdale before moving to Bristol, where the future MP attended Downend comprehensive school. Careers advisers suggested he should become a television repairman.

Mr Javid said recently that the well publicised case of a 15-year-old Syrian refugee being bullied reminded him of being targeted by racists at school.

He and his brothers had to squeeze into a two-bedroom-flat above the family shop in a road once dubbed ‘Britain’s worst street’.

But after studying politics and economics at so-called ‘red-brick’ Exeter University, Mr Javid powered on to a career in investment banking, becoming at 25 the youngest vice-president at Chase Manhattan Bank, before going on to amass a £20 million fortune.

His allies contrast his upbringing with the more ‘privileged’ backgrounds of the two men they see as his main rivals – the Foreign Secretary and Mr Johnson.

Fees at Eton are now over £40,000 a year, but friends of Mr Johnson – himself a former Foreign Secretary – stressed he went on a scholarship.

Mr Javid’s camp admit his ‘man of the people’ appeal would work less well against other potential rivals such as International Development Secretary Penny Mordaunt, who also went to a comprehensive and studied at Reading University.

Commons Leader Andrea Leadsom, increasingly rated by Tory MPs, went to Tonbridge Girls Grammar and Warwick University.

Dominic Raab, the former Brexit Secretary, went to both Oxford and Cambridge but was a grammar school pupil, as was David Davis, another former Brexit Secretary.

Iranians risking their lives by crossing the Channel in small boats may not be genuine asylum seekers, warn fellow migrants in Calais 

Iranians risking their lives by crossing the Channel in small boats may not be genuine asylum seekers, fellow migrants warned last night.

They said that while some Iranians have fled their homeland because of religious and political persecution, others want to go to Britain for a better life or simply to join family members.

A number of migrants in the Calais camp dubbed ‘the Jungle’ appeared to agree with comments made by Sajid Javid last week, which prompted a storm of protest from Labour MPs and groups supporting migrants’ rights.

Mr Javid said during a visit to Dover: ‘A question has to be asked: if you are a genuine asylum seeker, why have you not sought asylum in the first safe country you arrived in? Because France is not a country where anyone would argue it is not safe in any way whatsoever, and if you are genuine then why not seek asylum in your first safe country?’

About 1,000 migrants are living in camps in Calais and Dunkirk. Some 200 of those in Calais are from Iran, many of whom appear to be middle-class professionals. Some are prepared to pay gangs up to £4,000 to get them by boat to England.

Home Office figures show that 539 migrants tried to cross the Channel in small boats last year – 80 per cent of them in the past three months. 

One man, Hamid, 24, an engineering student from Tehran, said: ‘Half of the Iranians in the Jungle have come out of Iran due to some political problem, but the other half have applied for asylum in other European countries and been rejected. 

'They cannot apply in France because they will be sent back to the first European country they entered. So they want to go to Britain because they know the UK will not send anyone back to Iran.’

Christian convert Ahmad Hajipoor, 34, a father-of-two, said some of his fellow Iranians were pretending to be Christian because they know that will make their asylum application stronger.

‘There are about 12 to 13 from Iran in the camp who say they are Christian. I know about three of them are really Christians, the others are not genuine,’ he added.

Last week, the Government deployed HMS Mersey to the Strait of Dover, as well as two Border Force cutters to intercept any migrant boats.

Eight Iranians were arrested on a beach near Calais on Friday. They were suspected of attempting to cross the Channel but released without charge.

 

Link hienalouca.com Interesting to note Looking for an investor or sponsor for a project to grow dinosaurs and relict plants. Requires the sum of investments from 400000$ to 900000$. The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. To all interested persons please write on an email angocman@gmail.com . It is the scientific project and I do not know whether it is possible to earn on it. The probability of success of the project is approximately 60%. That will be very interesting.

Friends of c...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
