No, because success or not is not clear. But trump always has to be seen as the winner, hence unsubstantiated claims. -

UK Asylum Appeals Surge Leaves Thousands of Migrants in Hotels for Years
I can only answer that by differentiating between the type of 'boat person'. Imo illegal economic migrants should be returned to their country of origin and should not be kept in the UK at the taxpayer's expense. On the other hand, refugees - those seeking asylum e.g. those fleeing from persécution, war, etc - should be given a safe haven in the UK and the opportunity to build a life here. The UK has a long tradition of giving sanctuary to the persecuted and imo it is something to be proud of. I'm not so sure. Until now, each generation has been better off based on almost any criterion than the previous one. It's anecdotal but our flat growing up was better than my parents'; my access to education and health services was better than theirs; my job opportunities were better than theirs, etc. Why was that? A combination of factors of course: Parental encouragement, my ability, luck, etc. However, the point that I am labouring to make is that I doubt that any of that would have been possible if successive governments had 'betrayed' the working class. Wrt council house sales. Like you, I benefitted personally from it as I inherited my parents ex-council flat. However, overall I think that the policy did more harm than good. A link to an interesting, non-partisan article from an estate agent about council housing and the 'Right-to-buy' policy is below https://nexaproperties.com/huge-drop-in-council-houses-in-the-last-40-years/
