Labour 'Hasn't Got A Grip' Of New Year's Immigration Nightmare Says Ben Habib

Ben Habib criticizes Keir Starmer's handling of the migrant crisis, arguing that current policies do not deter migrants from entering the UK.
He highlights that the UK's welcoming approach encourages more migrants to attempt dangerous journeys, leading to increased deaths. Habib advocates for a robust policy to intercept and turn back boats at sea.

Ben absolutely on point as usual. Labour need to get a grip on this and quickly.

[@thomasmorin749]

France has no interest in stopping the boats. They dont want them .

[@GavinFeatherstone]

Yes why would they want to stop the boats leaving their own french shores. They are getting paid a billion to get rid of a load of non french speaking low skilled drifters. Brit governments are just gutless, Sunak, Patel and Badenough all have empathy with the boat people. As for Starmer, justice is about to catch up with him in Southport.

[@mrdrb6330]

If we had thousands of immigrants leaving the UK & heading to France would we try & stop them even if France paid us . Of course not because they have all failed the asylum process in Europe because of their Historical Criminality and they and us don't want them Apart from Labour because they will vote Labour 😂

I would not be allowed in any other country without a passport. I am 81 years of age and now live alone struggling to keep warm and sitting here in an anorak. So why on earth should the tax payer have to fund the accommodation for illegal immigrants who are being kept warm and cosy? This apparently is costing £5.38 billion per annum. What has happened to Common Sense and British Justice? This Government (Labour Party) fail to accept that 80% of the public did not vote for them and are now completely destroying our once great nation in less than 6 months. Surely, realising the financial implications we are entitled to a General Election otherwise we will not survive.

[@tamsinthai]

I am similarly as aggrieved as you. Because I now live in another country, after having paid into the pot for 44 years, I'm to sit back and watch these bussed in 'migrants' receive that which myself and others like me - yearly increases, frozen. In my case for 12 years and counting. B@stards.

Starmer hasn't got a grip on foreigners entering the UK illegally or our borders. Not got a grip on the finances. Not got a grip on the NHS. Not got a grip on the prisons. Not got a grip on criminality or police. Not got a grip on deportation. Not got a grip on reducing foreign aid. Not got a grip on housing. There's a bigger black hole in the short time he's been in power, increased borrowing, increased spending on asylum, increased wasteful spending to the EU, Syria, petty policing of personal views. A great big shambles of a government.
