<br>Let's assume Sir Keir Starmer wishes to win the next election. Let's also presume he has no desire to be changed as Prime Minister in the next year or two by Wes Streeting or Angela Rayner or anyone else.<br> |
||||
<br>He's a politician, after all, and politicians delight in power - Starmer more than a lot of, I would think. I likewise suggest that he's at least averagely intelligent, and ought to be able to weigh up the opportunities of any policy prospering.<br> |
||||
<br>After the battles, compromises and humiliations involved in achieving high office, Starmer has no objective of throwing all of it away. Why, then, does he show every sign of doing so?<br> |
||||
<br>On the [single concern](https://topapartmentsre.com) that may matter most to a majority of citizens, he is hurtling towards particular disaster, while denying himself any possibility of an escape route. I suggest the boats coming throughout the Channel.<br> |
||||
<br>Numbers of migrants doing the 21-mile journey are up by 42 percent on the very same period in 2015. An analysis by The Times, using comparable modelling as Border Force, predicts that 50,000 people will cross the Channel in small boats in 2025. That would be an annual record - and a stonking ordeal for Sir Keir.<br> |
||||
<br>Peering into his mind, I reckon there are two primary possible explanations for his behaviour. One is that he is misguiding himself. He actually believes numbers will boil down as soon as the procedures he has actually taken start to work.<br> |
||||
<br>If Starmer still believes that his [policies -](https://nyumbanirealtygroup.com) throwing numerous millions at the French authorities, improving intelligence and utilizing enhanced police powers - will decrease the numbers, that truly is the victory of hope over experience. The other possibility is that he is currently beginning dimly to understand that his stratagems will not bear much, if any, fruit. So he and the Government have actually chosen to pull the wool over our eyes. A deadly approach.<br> |
||||
<br>There have been 2 such examples in [current](https://oasisrealestateeg.com) days. Having stated in an online post on Monday that he felt 'mad' about the numbers crossing the Channel (how does he think the rest of us feel !?) the PM made a slippery claim.<br> |
||||
<br>Sir Keir Starmer now has nothing formidable in his locker, Stephen Glover writes<br> |
||||
<br>Only 2,240 small-boat migrants were sent home in the 12 months to March, 3 per cent fewer than in the previous year<br> |
||||
<br>He boasted that 'almost 30,000 individuals' had been removed from the UK by this Government. Sounds excellent. But in truth 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 out 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 deliberate fibs. Shall we choose a statistical deception?<br> |
||||
<br>The other instance of the Government not being completely directly was the Office's claim previously today that there have been more migrants this year due to the fact that of balmy weather. These are called 'red days', when the sea is calm.<br> |
||||
<br>But an analysis by my coworker David Barrett in the other day's Mail shows that in temperate May last year there were 21 'red days' however only 2,765 arrivals, about 1,000 fewer than last month. In mild June 2024 there were 20 'red days', though only 3,007 migrants were tape-recorded crossing the Channel.<br> |
||||
<br>The most likely description is that last May and June the Government's plan to send illegal migrants to Rwanda had actually lastly cleared persistent judicial blockage. Some, a minimum of, were [hindered](https://roostaustin.com) from crossing the Channel for fear of being loaded off to the central African country.<br> |
||||
<br>The Rwanda scheme was far from best - it was expensive, and responsible to legal challenge since the country has an authoritarian government - but at least it had some prospect of deterring migrants. The incoming Labour Government discarded its only possible methods of curbing the boats.<br> |
||||
<br>Good for Tory leader Kemi Badenoch, who in a speech tomorrow will [undertake](https://armeniairan.ir) to reanimate a strategy strikingly comparable to the Rwandan one.<br> |
||||
<br>Starmer now has absolutely nothing formidable in his locker. Literally nothing. He can give more millions to the French federal government however it will not make much, if any, distinction. French authorities will still loll around on beaches, thinking of the sand castles they made as children, as they [boats setting](https://www.zambianhome.com) off for Dover.<br> |
||||
<br>The reality is that the French will never strain themselves due to the fact that every migrant who leaves their coasts is one less migrant for them to fret about. It is naive to picture that they are ever going to be zealous on our behalf.<br> |
||||
<br>STEPHEN GLOVER: Keir Starmer is a soft male who can not understand the real evil Britain is facing<br> |
||||
<br>Nor will Sir Keir's idea of improving intelligence and law enforcement be definitive. When it comes to Labour's reported objective to tinker with Article 8 of the Human Rights Act so as to preclude phony asylum claims, that is welcome, but even if it becomes law it is unlikely to have much impact on general numbers.<br> |
||||
<br>Are the PM and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper starting to panic as they realise they don't have a single policy likely to fulfil their pledge of 'smashing the gangs'? If they aren't desperate, they jolly well need to be.<br> |
||||
<br>Three weeks ago, Sir Keir was humiliated after he had praised talks over Rwanda-style 'return centers' only minutes before his Albanian counterpart, standing a few feet away, eliminated any cooperation.<br> |
||||
<br>Maybe the Government will persuade the Kosovans or the North Macedonians to establish some sort of scheme. But if it does, it will take months, if not years, and people will question why Sir Keir cancelled a plan that he is at least partly trying to restore.<br> |
||||
<br>I've no specific desire to throw Starmer a lifeline but, as I've recommended before, there's one possible path out of the hole he has dug for himself - though it would take enormous determination and nerve for him to take it.<br> |
||||
<br>There are numerous unoccupied British islands off our coast and additional afield. Pick one of them. Create a camp comparable to those on the Isle of Man that housed alien internees during the War. Build hundreds of huts - instead of erecting less durable camping tents, as ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe has proposed.<br> |
||||
<br>Recruit doctors and authorities to examine claims quicker than takes place at present - and then return most migrants to where they originated from. The expense of setting up such a camp would be a fraction of the ₤ 4.3 billion spent last year on housing migrants and asylum seekers.<br> |
||||
<br>Can anyone inform me why not? Few migrants would elegant kicking their heels for months in a camp, nevertheless gentle, so it would be a [wonderful deterrent](https://www.buyjapanproperty.jp). Cross the Channel, and you will be our guest - on a perhaps windy island rather than in a four-star hotel.<br> |
||||
<br>Granted, in order to stave off vexatious legal obstacles we 'd most likely need to derogate from the European Court of Human Rights, which would be a step too far for our mindful Prime Minister.<br> |
||||
<br>But he does not have a much better concept. In reality, he hasn't got any ideas at all that are liable to stem the growing numbers of individuals streaming across the [English Channel](https://watermark-bangkok.com).<br> |
||||
<br>Things can just become [worse -](https://utahoffice.space) and as they do Labour will sink ever lower in [public esteem](https://tulum-property.com). Does Sir Keir [Starmer](http://www.eksklusifproperty2.rumahlembang.com) actually wish to be the signatory of his own political death warrant?<br> |
