Sir Keir Starmer unveils Labour's small boats policy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 май 2024
- Sir Keir Starmer said he would scrap Rwanda flights immediately after entering Downing Street but that a Labour government would not bring back migrants already deported to the African country.
He said he had no doubt that Rishi Sunak would get flights off the ground before the general election but insisted the policy would not work in deterring migrant crossings.
The Labour leader claimed his plan to prioritise the targeting of people-smuggling gangs that facilitate the crossings would prove a better deterrent than the Rwanda policy.

I don’t believe it for one minute.
This country’s done for this guy has been playing gutter politics for years and will flip flop and nothing will stop the boats
YouKier Starmer is a waste of space
More waffle
I wouldn't put Starmer in charge of a gold fish bowl, an Empty one!!!!!!
Haha. So funny. You are clearly a comedian
Starmer is going to win the next election with ease. #MESA #MAKE_BRITAIN_SOCIALIST_AGAIN
None of the numptys will stop them
Send in the 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤣🤣
To fix your own migration problems please don’t interfere in different country politics.
How are they fleeing persecution? Is France that bad? Anyone arriving illegally should be jailed until processed and returned to their own government. A purpose built jail could've been built with the money it's currently costing to house them, not to mention the money that the Rwanda plan has cost. Nobody can stop them trying to get here but it can be made so that it's not an attractive risk.
The problem is that illegal refugees are rarely given a choice where they go and are rarely conveyed accurate information by smugglers. Making it less appealing to come to the UK doesn't reduce the number of people who come because they don't know that Britain is a bad place to go. Further, many smuggled immigrants never go through the official channels that would allow them to be placed in prison anyway. If we want to reduce costs and reduce immigration, the most effective method is to speed up processing so more people are able to arrive legally and be turned away legally.
Have you ever eaten French food 😮
The boats need turning back and stoped entering British waters.
I regularly go to France. Seems very nice to me....don't think the benefits system is as generous tho.
I'm always surprised this isn't a bigger focus for the tories, but then I guess it's easier to demonise the asylum seekers rather than criticise the French government for some reason. Long story short, France's asylum process is even more broken than the UK's, it takes longer, has a lower success rate, and you simultaneously can't work and aren't provided with social benefits while awaiting processing. They force people to remain in poverty for upwards of a year and drag their heels, to encourage the asylum seekers to make an incredibly dangerous trip across the channel.
He will allow to come them by planes..
Youll do nothing........
Yes he will and he going to win the next election with ease. #MESA #MAKE_BRITAIN_SOCIALIST_AGAIN
So no plan then?
Damn you got there before me!
He's just told you the plan. #YOU_DIV.
@@Dark_BandonCould you enlighten us then!hasn't Starmer recently said he wants open borders!
@@jeanlockley2911 4 comments in 3 years and all of them are posted under this video. Classic example of a recently purchased NPC bot farm account.
@@Dark_Bandon accept them all? Probably your preference.
Border security command.....sounds like a Saturday morning cartoon & just as credible
There is no asylum seekers coming over the channel. If you come in by boat you can not legally claim asylum.
Yes you can. If you’ve reached British territory, under international and British law, you can make an application for asylum
I hate to say it, but I think the guy above is technically right.
Incorrect...
@@boulevard14 The 1951 Refugee Convention does not state explicitly how an asylum seeker must travel to the UK in order to claim asylum. An asylum seeker just has to be on the territory of the contracting state. Now if you want to argue that British waters do not constitute being UK territory then I seriously think you've lost the plot!!!
@PeterPete Lol what? Why would I argue that? Of course no agreement would state explicitly for any group led to come to a specific country in order to gain asylum. That it is ridiculous. That fact of the matter is that International law and British law, these people can legally apply for asylum. That fact is not currently disputable.
Given it was Labour under Blair &Co that opened the borders in the first place ! …
Was it? Pretty sure we were in the EU before that.
@@laidbackkodiak Funny, cus most of the asylum seekers aren't coming from the EU.
@@boulevard14 keep up sweetheart we were obviously talking about the people coming over under Blair. Another total waste of space but, what were the numbers in 2009?
That’s just not true. It’s Tory incompetence & Brexit that has led to the current boat crisis.
@laidbackkodiak Eh? I thought you were making the point that the EU made the UK house asylum seekers way before Blair stepped into office. That's a point I would agree with. What's funny is that people will blame Blair for this, when his policies had more to do with legal immigration.
Blah blah blah blah sick of all the talking !!!
How about international students claiming asylum. Why why why .
What's wrong with that
@@boulevard14The majority aren't asylum seekers!just economic migrants!
@@jeanlockley2911 All of them are. You can't apply to study in the UK unless you're migrating from another country legally.
@@jeanlockley2911well, we need economic migrants.
@@boulevard14they are students… not refugees
Lots of words…nothing said. As per usual 👎
Whatever Comes out of Starmers mouth!believe the opposite!I wouldn't trust it, as far as I could throw it!
Sounds like he is about to replace action with words and political promises.
Stopping those boats will mean my renting neighbours will finally be able to afford their own home...
Lol no it won't
😂😂😂 as if!
When you pay into a system and the system repeatedly fails.
We all know what happens next 🏴
Well we know what happens under tories. High taxes, low wages, increased immigration and a rise in racism. With tories saying they want to lurch more to the right and being encouraged by the racist parties the people are jumping away back to progressive parties.
process here not miles away !
No action against aslyam n still British people suffer
Not as much as those fleeing persecution and seeking asylum.
Judge the current government on their success.
Are you British? You write as though English isn’t your first language…
He brightened up my day no end.🤣
So... the plan is to clear the asylum seeker backlog and hope that stops people trying to cross illegally?
Nearly all asylum seekers will be allowed to stay. Will create ever bigger demand.
No answers
He wants to deal with the backlog of assylum applications. His secret plan is just to mass produce "Approved" rubber stamps and issue them to this new security force. Everyone is approved as soon as they reach the shore. No more backlog.
More waffle from the same old same old... PLEASE DON'T VOTE HIM IN😢
What, and the current government is a viable alternative? We can't go on with the utter chaos we've suffered under for the past 14 years.
@@Simalacrum okay, but have you considered a hypothetical scenario i made in my head where labour bring in millions of immigrants and makes everyone trans and bans _(insert words here)_ and all the other things we don't like and something about communism?
@@SimalacrumSo why vote for more!Labour will be as bad!if not worse!
I really believe he will stop the boats. Labour will just let everybody in legally.
LIAR
They say central bankers can always print money out thin air: in this one case, however, the head of Malta's central bank could desperately do with a bigger money printer, or at least a much better attorney.
Malta's attorney general filed charges of fraud and misappropriation of funds against Central Bank of Malta Governor Edward Scicluna as well sa the country's Deputy Prime Minister Chris Fearne
I wouldn’t trust him to stop anything! He opens his mouth and meaningless 💩 comes out.
The only way to stop the boats is push them back and only reform will do this one day when its too late the people will realise how foolish they were to vote labour or torie
Which way is the wind blowing today Smarmer?
Baldrick had more of a plan.
Labour are just going to accelerate mass migration. They want future voters who financially depend on Labour.
Did i miss the plan?
Not possible to stop it
Tosser with no plans
Talk,talk ,talk as usual. Gutless just like the rest of them.
he isn't going to do a thing
WAFFLE WAFFLE WAFFLE. All Pointless, Meaningless Waffle
😂😂
😅😅😅 starmer is one joke after another do people actually believe he is going to do a better job than Tories?? Sorry if you do your in for one big disappointment
Excellent speech by starmer it gets my vote .
Another deluded fool the mind boggles
Deluded fool
Starmers Islamic front labour party will never.stop one migrant Legal or illegal
Look at national statistics and the issue is actually legal visitors example ½ million international students that have access to public services. The governments needs them to prop up GDP, but yet does not invest with this in mind in public services.
Immigrants are not sending £3 billion per year to Ukraine, and only boosting the NHS by £3.3bn, or sending $725 million since 2008 to Israel.
DONT get distracted. It’s the finding of these wars and interventionism that causes these migrations and then some how the people are to blame. If the country was to not intervene in other countries, those people would stay in their homes.
Islamic front? They literally pissed off half of the British Muslims because they didn't automatically support Palestine
Actually they are changing the system for student visas, that’s why there has been a reduction in numbers.
Coursing some university’s to make staff redundant. Also creating university debt.

Great. This is what normal people want to hear. Joined up thinking is the only wat forward. Take racism out of the equation and replace it with a thought out credible policy.
Credible 🤣🤣🤣
@@jeanlockley2911 credible isn't a word I would have used. Probably the word relief is better to decribe that at last a group is looking at the mess the tories have made and have decided to have a policy that will help the country.
Why can't we just send them to the Falklands?
We could leave boats on the shores and instructions on how to get to Argentina.
Tbh I'm against the Rowanda bill but for a lot less reasons than I used to be.
My main reason now is just a cost issue.
I dropped most of my other objections once I heard someone telling sky news they paid a smuggler to get them out of the UK and back to France as they failed in there application and didn't want to go to Rowanda. 😂
Rwanda
No mention of what he is going to do with them.Let’s bet on Labour giving amnesty to all
Labour election victory incoming.
Or we could just opt out of the ECHR and have our own. We'll have to in the end to sort this. But hey, let's just pour another £75m into another idea that almost certainly won't work until reality hopefully dawns.
or...we could re-establish and fund the system we used to have so we can actually process people coming in, and actually solve the problem in a way that doesn't ultimately amount to preformative cruelty (which doesn't work because it's just preformative, clue's in the name) and doesn't require us to strip away our human rights, something that would totally definitely not be used against the british population we allegedly want to put first
@@thejuiceking2219That won't solve the problem though.Opting out of the ECHR and having our own will.
Or opt-in to the EU so asylum seekers can be sent back to France? 🤔
Walking out of the ECHR would cement Britain’s reputation as a third world banana republic
@@Derfs23 of course, because as we all know the tory government would NEVER do anything bad to the british people once they've relinquished their rights away
also, so long as northern ireland is part of the uk, we can't
So our income as a country (GDP) was £2.6 trillion last year, and we are obsessing over the asylum system which costs the UK a measly £1.5 billion each year.
Not obesity, which costs £50-100 billion per year. Not tax evasion, which costs £10-30 billion. But the least consequential issue imaginable.
Zero freedom of expression on this channel, absolutely disgusting
Tory crazy African madness ! Process them here
Safe routes now
Lets re-join the EU and have border checks back in place.. Problem solved.
Have you just fallen out of the tree again . Being in the EU means free movement from the EU . The criminal communist EU stopped Italy's Meloni from taking action on the boats coming into Italy by using financial blackmail against her , just like they have done to Hungary
How is that working out for Eire
Yeah lets rejoin the eu & have even less Democracy for the People again!!
With UK border force patrol stationed every 1 mile along the French coast, night vision capabilities, all terrain vehicles and tools to deflate the dangerous dinghy’s, they could easily stop any leaving the French coast. They are allowing this invasion. When our lifeboats are instructed to bring migrants 20 miles to the UK when the illegals ran into difficulties two hundred yards from the French coast, that tells us everything we need to know
Please remember who closed the legal route.
This wasn't happening to this extent in 2009. And since the pointless ruwanda plan has been put in place there's been 1500 more people so another failure.
Maybe re open the legal route might be a good start.
@@laidbackkodiak They’re allowing and assisting this invasion. Do not tell me with today’s technology, they’re not able to stop a rubber dinghy leaving the shores of France. They are able to trace the brains behind the smuggling operation, the sellers of the dinghy’s and numerous other options are available to stop this continuing. I’m sure if it was tons of cocaine or Heroin heading this way on dinghy’s , on a route used daily, they would be able to intercept the drugs and arrest the smugglers at any stage of the process. Open borders and giving illegals far more benefits than other European countries is a sure fire way in enticing them. They’re risking their lives even though they are transiting through numerous safe countries. They are heading here for the rewards at await them. Charity begins at home, so the saying the saying goes yet so many British people are struggling to put food on the table and many have no roof over their head.
@@laidbackkodiak Your suggestion, ie open the legal route is another pointer showing this madness can be stopped but they’re doing nothing to solve it. The Rwanda plan is a ridiculous solution, just as the accommodation barges are. These leaders are only interested in enriching themselves at the cost of the people they are supposed to represent.
@@neilpalmer3170 Technically it's not even a solution, as the fine print says for every person we send they can send one from their side to us. it's a stupid gimmick from a stupid gimmick government.
