Great so now a Pakistani origin first minister and an Indian origin PM would discuss the partition of the UK

This is the consequence of American “I’m Irish because my great great grandfather was” attitude seen in motion. Both are clearly British.

The irony of UK being the most heavy handed with illegal immigration right now and at the same time having an Indian descent PM, an Indian/African descent Home Office head and now a Pakistani descent first minister in Scotland.

How is that ironic? Uncontrolled immigration is also bad for immigrants. Immigrants are not some entirely separate entity within a country, what affects citizens generally affects immigrants too.

You really should look at what Frontex gets up too. UK just gets reported more especially on Reddit.

The Partition of India (resulting in a million deaths) was demanded by Jinna, on the Muslim side.
A funny analogy if you can overlook the tragedy.

Is irony the right word here? Seems to me if I were a White Chrisrian who felt that my country was losing it's identity as a White Christian nation, this would confirm my feeling no?

The sooner people realize that they have more in common with a random citizen from a country they've never visited than they do with rich people who's skin color is the same as theirs, the better.
