The Labour leader is set to unveil his plan to tackle people-smuggling gangs bringing migrants across the Channel in small boat
In a speech on the Kent coast, the Labour leader will set out his party’s plans to tackle the small boats crisis if it wins the general election
Starmer will introduce the new package at a speech on the south coast- part of the constituency of Natalie Elphicke- the Tory whose defection to Labour this week caused huge controversy among the party's MPs. Starmer will use a speech to say he wants to replace “gimmicks with graft” and hit out at what he calls the government's "do nothing" culture.
Creating a new Border Security Commander - a former police, military or intelligence chief – and reporting directly to the Home Secretary “It's become a question of whether you can prioritize, at all times, the politics of practical solutions, and reject the politics of performative symbols - the gimmicks and gestures,” he will add.
