Rather than bits and bobs of speculation, here are the actual measures proposed

Modest measures than might help. I like the inclusion of the new law
"Border officials will also get powers to seize migrants' phones in the search for intelligence about who helped them cross the Channel."

Germany has clamped down. Italy has stopped 200,000 illegal immigrants from entering Italy.

Thank you, bathsalts, I can add that to the list of groups and people this Government is managing to alienate in a short time.

On another thread tho preferably.

Hate to burst anyone's bubble but the Tories were poised to introduce "early release" for prisoners. I heard one of their MP's saying just that not so long ago. There was no choice, the prisons were/are splitting at the seams. Given that the Tories were in government for 14 long years, I imagine much of that sorry state of affairs is attributable to them. Anyone like to discuss that further?

Well some must think there’s room, after all Starmer let out all those murderers and rapists

Yes indeed!

Well some must think there’s room, after all Starmer let out all those murderers and rapists

Is there any room in the prisons?

It all depends on how these changes translate to real actions tho doesn’t it? If people on the boats refuse to be rescued by the French does this mean the boats will be towed back to France and police there arrest them, or the French navy communicate with UK border force and the people be arrested here when they land? Either way let’s see if it works.
