The article outlines the current government's challenges in controlling illegal immigration to the UK, emphasizing the rising death toll of migrants crossing the English Channel. With over 23,000 crossings recorded since Labour's last win, both the government and Labour are re-evaluating their strategies to demonstrate toughness on immigration. The government has begun releasing images of deported immigrants and claims to be intensifying efforts against illegal immigration. The situation is complicated further by political pressure from Reform UK, indicating rising concerns across party lines regarding immigration control effectiveness.
This government, like the one before, is not in control of illegal immigration. More people are dying crossing the English Channel than ever before.
Labour want to take on any perception that they are soft or wishy washy about all this, and are adopting a strategy of show and don't just tell.
Now, for the first time, the Home Office is publishing pictures...of illegal immigrants being deported.
Reform UK reckons what the government has to say, and has done, is pathetic in comparison with the scale of the issue.
