Starmer to unveil Labour party plan to tackle small boats

In a speech on the Kent coast, the Labour leader will set out his party’s plans to tackle the small boats crisis if it wins the general election.

Sir Keir will also stress his experience as the former head of the Crown Prosecution Service and pledge to make Britain “hostile territory” for people smugglers.“A business that pits nation against nation, thrives in the grey areas of our rules, the cracks between our institutions, where, they believe, they can exploit some of the most vulnerable people in the world with impunity.

“It’s become a question of whether you can prioritise, at all times, the politics of practical solutions, and reject the politics of performative symbols, the gimmicks and gestures.”, who joined Labour from the Conservatives on Wednesday, accusing the Prime Minister of failing to deliver on his promise to “stop the boats”.

Some 8,826 migrants have arrived in the UK after crossing the Channel so far this year, provisional Home Office figures show.
