Keir Starmer small boats plan unravels as he backtracks on a key part of his plan. Corkscrew starmer strikes again... Starmer was left floundering when pressed on whether he really would use full anti-terrorism powers against people smugglers to crack down on the small boats crisis. The Labour leader gave an exclusive interview with Sky News's Trevor Phillips to explain his new plan to end illegal migration if elected as Prime Minister next year. But Phillips asked him whether using anti-terror laws against people smugglers means he would have suspects locked up for 28 days without charge so they could be properly investigated. The measure was brought in to deal with terrorists by former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair. But Sir Keir's answer revealed that his plans to treat people smugglers like terrorists has its limits.

Sir Beer Korma flip flops again. Whod'a thunk it? Labour in shambles on migration as Keir Starmer U-turns on a plan to take asylum seekers from the EUSSR. Sir Keir said it was 'complete nonsense' to suggest Labour would join scheme Keir Starmer's plan to tackle illegal immigration has unravelled still further after he backtracked on taking asylum-seekers from the EUSSR.
Labour's leader confirmed last week that his proposal to seek an EU-wide returns deal would mean the UK accepting some arrivals from the Continent.
Asked if he accepted the 'quid pro quo' of migrant quotas in exchange for an agreement, he told The Times on Thursday: 'That would be part of any discussions and negotiations with the EUSSR'
But in an interview yesterday, Sir Keir said it was 'complete nonsense' to suggest that a Labour government would join the Europe-wide transfer scheme, which the Conservatives say would mean as many as 100,000 people a year being sent to Britain.
He told Sky News: 'Let me be absolutely crystal clear about this, because the Government has been pumping out complete garbage this week in terms of the numbers that they are suggesting.

As Starmer made his remarks about joining the EU scheme on the same day as Germany announced they were pulling out of the EU scheme, it did not bode well for the long term viability of this policy... I did expect it to last longer than 4 days though..
