<br>Let's assume Sir Keir Starmer wants to win the next election. Let's likewise presume he has no desire to be replaced as Prime Minister in the next year approximately by Wes Streeting or Angela Rayner or anybody else.<br>
|
||||
<br>He's a politician, after all, and politicians relish power - Starmer more than a lot of, I would think. I also suggest that he's at least averagely intelligent, and ought to be able to weigh up the opportunities of any policy being successful.<br>
|
||||
<br>After the battles, compromises and embarrassments associated with accomplishing high workplace, Starmer has no objective of throwing everything away. Why, then, does he show every [indication](https://tehranoffers.com) of doing so?<br>
|
||||
<br>On the single problem that might matter most to a majority of citizens, he is speeding towards particular catastrophe, while denying himself any prospect of an escape route. I imply the boats coming across the Channel.<br>
|
||||
<br>Numbers of migrants doing the 21[-mile journey](https://homes.lc) are up by 42 per cent on the same period in 2015. An analysis by The Times, using comparable modelling as Border Force, forecasts that 50,000 [individuals](https://multiplanet.ae) will cross the Channel in small boats in 2025. That would be a yearly record - and a stonking debacle for Sir Keir.<br>
|
||||
<br>Peering into his mind, I reckon there are two main possible descriptions for his behaviour. One is that he is deluding himself. He actually believes numbers will boil down once the procedures he has taken start to work.<br>
|
||||
<br>If Starmer still thinks that his policies - tossing [numerous millions](https://atflat.ge) at the French authorities, improving intelligence and utilizing boosted law enforcement powers - will reduce the numbers, that really is the accomplishment of hope over experience. The other possibility is that he is already starting poorly to realise that his [stratagems](https://homematch.co.za) won't bear much, if any, fruit. So he and the Government have decided to pull the wool over our eyes. A fatal method.<br>
|
||||
<br>There have been two such examples in current days. Having stated in an online post on Monday that he felt 'mad' about the numbers crossing the Channel (how does he believe the rest of us feel !?) the PM made a slippery claim.<br>
|
||||
<br>Sir Keir Starmer now has absolutely nothing formidable in his locker, Stephen Glover writes<br>
|
||||
<br>Only 2,240 small-boat migrants were sent out home in the 12 months to March, 3 percent less than in the previous year<br>
|
||||
<br>He boasted that 'almost 30,000 individuals' had been gotten rid of from the UK by this Government. Sounds good. But in fact this figure refers to all kinds of migrants who have no right to be in our country. Only 2,240 small-boat migrants were sent home in the 12 months to March, 3 percent less than in the previous year.<br>
|
||||
<br>A lie? Good God no! We should not accuse Labour prime ministers, far less Sir Keir Starmer KCB, PC, KC, MP, of informing intentional fibs. Shall we choose a statistical sleight of hand?<br>
|
||||
<br>The other circumstances of the Government not being completely straight was the Home Office's claim earlier this week that there have actually been more migrants this year because of balmy weather. These are called 'red days', when the sea is calm.<br>
|
||||
<br>But an analysis by my associate David Barrett in the other day's Mail shows that in temperate May last year there were 21 'red days' but only 2,765 arrivals, about 1,000 less than last month. In mild June 2024 there were 20 'red days', though just 3,007 migrants were recorded crossing the Channel.<br>[reference.com](https://www.reference.com/world-view/mean-ladybug-lands-5afc7c5472c8f72f?ad=dirN&qo=serpIndex&o=740005&origq=land)
|
||||
<br>The most probable description is that last May and June the Government's plan to send unlawful migrants to Rwanda had finally cleared persistent judicial blockage. Some, at least, were hindered from crossing the Channel for fear of being loaded off to the main African nation.<br>
|
||||
<br>The Rwanda scheme was far from ideal - it was pricey, and accountable to legal obstacle since the country has an authoritarian government - but at least it had some prospect of preventing migrants. The inbound [Labour Government](https://fourfrontestates.com) threw away its only possible methods of suppressing the boats.<br>
|
||||
<br>Great for Tory leader Kemi Badenoch, who in a speech tomorrow will undertake to resurrect a strategy strikingly comparable to the [Rwandan](https://jacorealty.com) one.<br>
|
||||
<br>Starmer now has nothing in his locker. Literally absolutely nothing. He can give more millions to the French government but it will not make much, if any, distinction. French cops will still loll around on beaches, thinking of the [sand castles](https://realestate.kctech.com.np) they made as kids, as they watch migrant boats setting off for Dover.<br>
|
||||
<br>The fact is that the French will never ever strain themselves since every migrant who leaves their shores is one less migrant for them to fret about. It is ignorant to think of that they are ever going to be zealous on our behalf.<br>
|
||||
<br>STEPHEN GLOVER: Keir Starmer is a soft guy who can not understand the real evil Britain is facing<br>
|
||||
<br>Nor will Sir Keir's concept of enhancing intelligence and police be definitive. When it comes to Labour's reported intention to tinker with Article 8 of the Human Rights Act so regarding prevent fake asylum claims, that is welcome, but even if it becomes law it is unlikely to have much effect on overall numbers.<br>
|
||||
<br>Are the PM and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper starting to panic as they realise they do not have a single policy most likely to satisfy their promise of 'smashing the gangs'? If they aren't desperate, they jolly well ought to be.<br>
|
||||
<br>Three weeks back, Sir Keir was embarrassed after he had praised talks over Rwanda-style 'return centers' only minutes before his Albanian counterpart, [standing](https://rsw-haus.de) a few feet away, dismissed any cooperation.<br>
|
||||
<br>Maybe the Government will encourage the Kosovans or the North Macedonians to establish some sort of plan. But if it does, it will take months, if not years, and people will wonder why Sir Keir cancelled an arrangement that he is at least partially attempting to restore.<br>
|
||||
<br>I've no specific dream to toss Starmer a [lifeline](https://avitotanger.com) however, as I've recommended before, there's one possible path out of the hole he has dug for himself - though it would take massive determination and nerve for him to take it.<br>
|
||||
<br>There are numerous unoccupied British islands off our coast and additional afield. Pick among them. Create a camp similar to those on the Isle of Man that housed alien internees throughout the War. Build numerous huts - instead of setting up less strong tents, as [ex-Reform MP](https://lewisandcorealty.ca) Rupert Lowe has actually proposed.<br>
|
||||
<br>Recruit medical professionals and authorities to assess claims quicker than happens at present - and then return most migrants to where they [originated](https://canaryrealty.com) from. The expense of setting up such a camp would be a fraction of the ₤ 4.3 billion invested last year on housing migrants and asylum candidates.<br>
|
||||
<br>Can anyone tell me why not? Few migrants would elegant kicking their heels for months in a camp, however gentle, so it would be a marvellous deterrent. Cross the Channel, and you will be our visitor - on a potentially windy island rather than in a four-star hotel.<br>
|
||||
<br>Granted, in order to fend off vexatious legal challenges we 'd most likely have to derogate from the European Court of Human Rights, which would be a step too far for our careful Prime Minister.<br>
|
||||
<br>But he does not have a better idea. In fact, he hasn't got any concepts at all that are responsible to stem the growing numbers of people streaming across the [English](https://landpointgroup.com) Channel.<br>
|
||||
<br>Things can only worsen - and as they do Labour will sink ever lower in public esteem. Does Sir Keir Starmer actually wish to be the signatory of his own political death warrant?<br>
