During to the run up to the election I think we all got sick of hearing Starmer talk about 'smashing the gangs', he must have said it several times a day, that is until election day. Since July 4th I don't think I've heard him say 'smash the gangs' even once.
Just for interest: Since Starmer became prime minister 3,300 illegals have crossed the channel, so rather than the gangs being 'smashed', I think we can assume the gangs are doing very nicely thank you, and with the Rwanda deterrent scrapped by this minority appeasing government, has there ever been a better time to be a people smuggler?

Apply the 1951 convention to the letter. "The Convention does not however apply to all persons who might otherwise satisfy the definition of a refugee in Article 1. In particular, the Convention does not apply to those for whom there are serious reasons for considering that they have committed war crimes or crimes against humanity, serious non-political crimes, or are guilty of acts contrary to the purposes and prin- ciples of the United Nations. The Convention also does not apply to those refugees who benefit from the protection or assistance of a United Nations agency other than UNHCR, such as refugees from Palestine who fall under the auspices of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). Nor does the Convention apply to those refugees who have a status equivalent to nationals in their country of asylum." www.unhcr.org/media/convention-and-protocol-relating-status-refugees |

Did we ever expect anything else ? I suppose not. On the bright side, I suspect Starmer will not be looking forward to Farage reminding him about his 'smashing the gangs' pledge during every PMQ's for the next five years. |

Farage will go on his arse constantly, I expect . Starmer is giving him enough ammunition. |
