In the week which saw Humza Yousaf elected as the new leader of the SNP and the next First Minister of Scotland, Telegraph readers have also been busy weighing in on Rishi Sunak’s Illegal Immigration Bill and his war on antisocial behaviour.

An investigation by the European Commission which found that all 10 ordinary honey samples from the UK failed authenticity tests and Prince Harry’s surprise return to the UK for the start of his case against Associated Newspaper also got readers talking.

Read on to see how Telegraph readers contributed to the conversation.

Migrant crisis: 'This is abuse of the generosity of the clobbered British taxpayer'

Rishi Sunak has attempted to quell major rebellions over his Illegal Migration Bill from both wings of the Conservative Party.

While a group of Tory moderates are calling for thousands of migrants to be offered a new safe and legal route to the UK, a group of hardline Tories want tougher measures to prevent the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) from blocking deportations to Rwanda.

It comes as councils plot legal action to stop military sites being used to house migrants instead of hotels.

Readers shared their continued frustration at the lack of action in tackling the UK’s uncontrolled immigration and the burden they said it puts on the British taxpayer and the country’s infrastructure. Most agreed that the UK must leave the ECHR to stop this.

Blitz on anti-social behaviour: 'Youth offending teams prioritise protecting youths from prosecution over protecting victims'

As part of the Government’s strategy to tackle the anti-social activities blighting Britain’s neighbourhoods, the Government has pledged to force offenders to clean up their own mess, move on beggars causing “public distress”, ban nitrous oxide and sanction Airbnb owners and guests if properties are used as party houses.

While readers supported the curbing of anti-social behaviour, many took issue with the crackdown on begging when simultaneously housing illegal immigrants. Others highlighted the complications inhibiting the strategy’s execution.

UK’s honey fraud: 'We need far stricter controls of quality enforced'

Telegraph Readers discussed the need to be more cautious about the product they are buying following an investigation by the European Commission which found that all 10 ordinary honey samples from the UK failed authenticity tests.

Readers believed stricter controls of quality need to be enforced, as many urged others to track down their local honey producers and buy their products instead.

Prince Harry surprise visit to London: ‘A Prince by birth but a king of hypocrisy’

The Duke of Sussex made a shock appearance at the High Court on Monday for the start of his case against Associated Newspapers for unlawful information gathering.

Readers thought it ironic that Prince Harry is going to court over privacy invasion, claiming he invaded the privacy of his own family. Others questioned the motivation behind his trip to London.
