Starmer said he would work with ‘anyone serious’ to address the problem. He said the new government was ‘approaching this issue with humanity and with profound respect for international law’ and it would not withdraw from the European convention on human rights

  1. LEGISLATION MUST BE ESTABLISHED!! It's the only solution to stop the motivation of future emigrants, that expect a new life, EVERYTHING FREE, AND A CHEQUE EVERY WEEK, WITH NO NEED TO WORK. FREE MEDICAL, FREE DENTIST, FREE EDUCATION AND FREE RENTALS OF GREAT ACCOMMODATIONS.
    HERE IN THE NORTH, A LOT OF ELDERLY PEOPLE HAVING TO WORK IN THEIR 80's
    To make ends meet.

  2. He isn't wrong as the criminal gangs who are behind this despicable trade are international entities and thus require a coordinated international response to defeat. National efforts like what the last government did are little more than sticking a plaster on a broken leg and hoping that fixes the problem but it never did.

  3. It's just another way too through 75 million pounds of taxpayers monies on a smoke screen, why hasn't any people smugglers been caught already it's a Government cover-up again talking like they care about UK, let put that in a nutshell they don't 🤥

  4. I agree that the smugglers raking in the cash should be stopped. But how can the " unfortunate" migrant find the cash to be put on a useless dinghy? If they have that sort of money, why don't they buy a plane ticket and upon entering the country claim asylum, if they are indeed asylum seekers and not just people who think the UK streets are paved with gold?

  5. Eat your own words starmer, as your letting these people come in yourself by the boat load,
    As wanting to be a the leftie not liking what you see by the others,
    you and Tories are to blame, as your next in the target line of fire,
