More than 20,000 migrants have crossed Channel since Sir Keir Starmer became PM
Since Sir Keir Starmer took office, 20,110 migrants had crossed the Channel in total.
As Labour came under fire for leaving border controls out of its five tasks, two boats carrying 122 refugees arrived early yesterday.
Immigration will be discussed in Sir Keir’s speech on Thursday’s transformation plan, according to Cabinet Minister Pat McFadden.
Despite the record 906,000 surge from the previous year, he dismissed suggestions for a net migration target.
Yesterday, Mr. McFadden stated: “We do want to bring it down.” The precise amount you require will always fluctuate based on the demands of the economy.
The results, according to Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philps, were an unavoidable result of Starmer’s feeble and empty strategy.
