Sir Keir Starmer lays out Labour's plan for tackling illegal immigration

Sir Keir Starmer has said he has no doubt the government will get flights off the ground to Rwanda but Labour would "cancel the scheme straight away" if they win the next general election.

The Labour leader, announcing his party's policy on illegal immigration in Dover, said the government's flagship policy of sending asylum seekers to Rwanda will not work.

"They will get flights off the ground, I don't doubt that but I also don't doubt it will not work," he said

Its not a hard nut to crack, give them absolutely nothing and they won't come . It's simple really .

He didn’t answer the question. What is your target for stopping the boats 😂.

There is no cultural cohesion due to Labour's concept of multiculturalism.  The majority in London are no longer white British.  They come from all over the globe, whether legally or illegally,   and have never integrated.  There are areas of London and in many of our towns and cities that entirely consist of unintegrated foreign races.

What working class ethnically British people who have lived since just after WW2 know is that they were treated as an underclass because they were working class and just as they were getting more education and more opportunities, millions of immigrants were let in to undercut their wages.  They also know that they were never asked for their permission for governments, particularly Labour governments, to change the culture by importing West Indians, Africans and South Asians.  They were asked their permission to join the Common Market which would entail some migrants from Western Europe, but they were never asked about immigrants who would change their culture and not integrate.  They did not want Labour's multiculturalism.

No doubt this is a sign of things to come. No plan just talk round in circles until nothing gets done

Four people clapping hard will never sound like a roomful of fans.

[rogueriderhood]

Probably wants to change them to big boats.

[derekrobinson]

Not one party has the brains to do anything to help this country, only to help themselves, who the hell do we vote for 😢

[Slumbert]

Spin and avoiding telling how he will stop boats on EU lands coast.

[marcust]

What a clown this guy is if he honestly thinks this will work hes more deluded than i thought what a shambles

[stewartbunting]

What's going to happen with the migrants who are already living here illegally in the UK are they going to be given amnesty under a Labour government so Labour can clear up the backlog.

[ianporter]

Man with out a true plan. It's good to see them leaving England and going to Ireland back to the EU.

[mrkeithmorgan]

Stroke of genius! The Tory's would have loved this to have been the other way round, now they're talking about morals and principles😂. Great chess move, get your opponent to trap its own King.

[craigsmith]

We are about to vote in a government that nobody wants, in order to replace a government that nobody wants. These are not good times. And don't we all know it.

[GaryBurdenuik-gy]

Actions SPEAK louder than words, SAME TALK DIFFERENT PARTY, They are elected to run this country they can't even do that.

[jacobshaw]

He’s struggling to find a way to say “stop the boats” without saying “stop the boats”

[UKVeteran]

Clueless Labour! Utterly clueless! For a minute I thought had a grip on reality!

[tinaclemence]

He bought me to tears, 😢 so moving, so real and heatfelt, he means it and thats the sodding difference.

[edwardharris]

anybody else feel like taking a bath with a toaster everytime they hear him speak?

[deswallace]

Sir Keir, WHY not immediately introduce a LAW that the PILOT/DRIVER of a small boat crossing the Chanel is immediately ARRESTED and jailed!! NOBODY would be prepared take the risk. Simple ending to unwanted visitors.

[berny]

Even without watching I know this is a whole load of waffle with no actual solutions proposed whatsoever.
