Yvette Cooper emphasized that the appointment of a former police chief to lead the new border security command highlights the Labour government’s serious commitment to curbing illegal Channel crossings, moving away from previous gimmicks.
Cooper stated that their approach involved practical steps to combat a criminal industry exploiting vulnerable individuals attempting to cross borders, indicating a shift towards international cooperation for effective enforcement.
With a recent tragedy underscoring the danger of Channel crossings, Cooper reaffirmed the urgency and necessity of coordinated law enforcement across Europe to dismantle the operations of criminal gangs.
Acknowledging criticism regarding partnerships with differing political ideologies, Cooper noted it's standard for the UK to engage with various governments in pursuit of effective migration policies.
