Keir Starmer’s new ‘red’ parliament sits for the first time – as Rishi Sunak warns PM he faces ‘formidable task’
said: “The question for Labour is what to do with people who arrive here illegally but cannot be returned to their home?
“Labour scrapped our plan to send them to a safe third country. Without a deterrent the boats will keep coming.”I will make it clear that secure borders are a priority for my government. And I will urge them to work with Britain to smash the vile criminal gangs that profit from illegal migration.Infants, children, pregnant mothers – the smugglers do not care.And Sun readers are paying for it.And what did all the rhetoric and grandstanding of the previous government amount to?That has to change.I meant it in the campaign. Now I’m taking action.We will work through the backlog in the Home Office to speed up decision-making.
But with our new Border Security Command – launched last week – we also offer a completely new approach.I scrapped the failed Rwanda scheme for a simple reason – it was an expensive gimmick. Even if it had succeeded, even if everything went right, it could only have removed 1% of those arriving by small boats.A total waste of time and money that could have been spent smashing the gangs instead.We are here to return government to practical policies that serve our country.It will bring together the best of the best from our intelligence agencies, police and immigration enforcement.And put their vile trade out of business for good.
