Mike Tapp is the Labour MP who acts like the government’s self-appointed deporter-in-chief. Accordingly, people have accused Tapp of being a Reform-style politician, because regardless of how people on the left think we should manage migration, we don’t take glee in the thought of deporting people.

Tapp, meanwhile, quite clearly relishes it:

Deportations and returns is now at nearly 50,000!

Zack Polanski vs the deportation lover Mike Tapp

Mike Tapp usually mentions ‘violent criminals’ or ‘sexual offenders’ when he’s publicly getting a deportation hard on:

Deport. Deport. Deport.

We don’t want sexual offenders and violent criminals here. pic.twitter.com/PJg1agDipE

If we can’t deport foreign paedophiles then we must change things to ensure we can. That’s what legislators do. pic.twitter.com/Ixvev3uH8I

— Mike Tapp MP (@MikeTappTweets) August 27, 2025

To be clear, we’ve no issue with deporting criminals or sexual abusers. The issue is Tapp’s antics are directly feeding into the right’s narrative that all migrants are criminals and abusers.

This rightward shift on migration is why we’re now seeing activists pushing the once fringe position of ‘remigration’ on national TV:

Remigration is simply a return to normality.

We never needed mass migration.

What we are advocating for is not radical. The current situation is radical.

‘Remigration‘ is the policy of deporting the entire non-white population, including those who were born here. Where would we deport these British nationals? These people haven’t thought that far ahead; they’re just racists who’ve been humoured for too long by politicians and journalists.

Mike Tapp, we should note, is not pushing for remigration. If this was ten years ago, though, he wouldn’t be pushing for deportations in the same way either. The point we’re making is that when you continuously accept the right’s arguments, we just move further and further towards the absolute end point of their ideology.

In other words, this needs to stop before it gets out of hand.

On that note, Polanski used Tapp’s tweet to promote the Green Party, which is trying to be something more than just Reform with benefits:

A Labour Home Office Minister.

Tapp didn’t like it up him, responding:

The Green Party are so far left they’ve lost all perspective of reality, now they seem to be against deporting dangerous foreign national offenders. 🤷‍♂️

Mike, Mike, Mike – you’re forgetting yourself, mate – he wasn’t replying to one of your ‘foreign offenders’ tweets; he was responding to the ‘50,000’ deportations’ post. Tapp is really doing Farage-style politics if he wants us to believe that every one of the 50,000 were “dangerous offenders”.

Polanski seemingly agreed, responding:

There’s not enough words to describe the contempt we should have for a Labour Government who thinks people like this should represent them – let alone cabinet ministers.

Where are the MPs with decency and basic humanity? Where are their red lines?

Beyond time to speak up. https://t.co/P6EV24xIdZ

Tapped out

As we reported last week, Mike Tapp is the sort of politician who thinks you can win the public over by pointing at a full English breakfast and saying ‘stop the boats’ (he also might have worms, but we were unable to confirm that one way or the other):

The reality is that when Labour copy Reform, they just make it look like Nigel Farage is two steps ahead of them.

Tapp disagrees with us on this, obviously, but Labour’s polling proves they’re doing something wrong:

📊 Ipsos poll suggests Reform landslide:

➡️ REF – 400 seats (+395)
🟠 LD – 78 seats (+6)
🟡 SNP – 46 seats (+37)
🟢 GRN – 43 seats (+39)
🔴 LAB – 31 seats (-380)
🔵 CON – 11 seats (-110)
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 PLAID – 7 seats (+3)

    Mike Tapp was elected to be a Vice Chair of the Labour Friends of Israel and has visited that Genocidal Country on several occasions at no expense to himself. An ex-Military Intelligence Officer he was chosen to support Starmer’s ‘Israel First’ stance which meant no to Cease Fire attempts and to ensure a continuous and murderous supply of military equipment to the Zionists.
    If anyone had the right to be sent to another country then he has certainly earned that right and the sooner he decided to go the better for the voters of Dover and Deal and certainly for all who have tried to make him change his mind on this vital issue.

    People who want Reform-style policies will vote for Reform. Labour should be offering a real alternative, not copying a divisive far-right party.

    I’m really bothered by this little comment — is it from Polanski or Canary? sorry I’m new to this site — that we’ve got nothing against deporting sex offenders and criminals. The whole idea of ‘foreign criminals’ is wrong, and of a piece with racist waves of panic ever since the 19th century (starting with Jews incidentally). The majority of these offences are minor, for drugs etc , I know because I work with refugees and their families and children who face being torn apart by deportation… In the case of serious or violent offences, refugees should go to court here, serve their sentences here, get treatment here and be put on offender-registers here. Otherwise we are just saying that women in other countries don’t count and the populations are totally dispensable. There is also the little matter that ‘foreign offenders’ may also be political refugees in fear of their lives in their former countries. We DON’T have the death penalty here — why is it Ok to outsource it to overseas militias , vigilantes and execution-happy unstable governments? I’m seriously disappointed in the Greens if they don’t oppose deportation.
