Labour is facing heavy criticism for losing control of the UK's borders, with a reported 26% increase in migrant crossings since taking power. Recent rises were highlighted by over 1,500 migrants crossing the English Channel due to favorable weather conditions. Despite Labour's prior claims of having deterrents in place, data shows a surge in crossings, prompting strong words from political opponents such as Chris Philp, who argues for the return of a removals deterrent. Meanwhile, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer states they are addressing a chaotic system and warns that significant results require time.
"Labour has lost control of our borders. They should never have cancelled the Rwanda deterrent before it even started."
"We are delivering real change in our approach through legislation to create new tools, powers, offences and enforcement action which will keep us one step ahead of the people-smuggling gangs."
