"Lego Head!" Alex Phillips Criticises Keir Starmer's Plan To Stop Illegal Migration

Talk's Alex Phillips criticises Keir Starmer's latest proposals to stop illegal migration.
Sir Keir said Labour will “replace gimmicks with graft”, scrapping the Government’s Rwanda scheme and using some of the money saved to fund a new “elite Border Security Command” led by a former police, military or intelligence chief.
Attacking the Government’s approach as “rank incompetence”, he dismissed the Rwanda scheme as being unable to provide an effective deterrent and accuse the Conservatives of operating a “Travelodge amnesty” by housing migrants in hotels rather than processing their claims.
Sir Keir also stressed his experience as the former head of the Crown Prosecution Service and pledge to make Britain “hostile territory” for people smugglers.
Alex says: "Wakey wakey. That was just a Lego head laying out the Labour Party's brand new policy for making sure they can stop the boats."

@msagoo29 ; and I bet that Sir Kneelalot and his bunch will open up more Legal routes so that they do not have to come over illegally and once here they have stated they will employ 1000 more people to process them more quickly, and whilst they are waiting for their requests to be processed where will Liebour House them?? and won't those whose requests get turned down just disappear into the country like what's happening now?? Also How will Liebour be able to tell who is entering our country as at present we have shed loads of Islamic activists on our streets, Our security is supposed to be paramount, But Liebour and those who want open borders seem to want to throw that down the toilet!! And by opening up more Legal routes Liebour will claim they have stopped the "ILLEGAL BOATS" By allowing all of these islamic and Muslim so called refugees into the country Liebour are hoping they will vote for them, thereby keeping them in power just like Khan in London!!!
