On turning into Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer wasted no time in axing the Conservatives’ Rwanda scheme, which he sanctimoniously denounced as a ‘gimmick’.
Clearly, nobody in his beloved EU was listening. For Germany, the place a migration disaster has exploded, needs to ship asylum seekers to the African nation for processing.
Even worse, Berlin would home them in lodging that Britain paid hundreds of thousands for, earlier than Labour unceremoniously dumped the deterrent. What a farce.
No 10 says scrapping Rishi Sunak’s plan was proper. However when Channel migrants had been flocking to Eire to keep away from deportation to Rwanda, it was clearly having a dissuasive impact earlier than a single airplane had taken off.

Since taking energy, the PM has additionally closed the Bibby Stockholm barge used to deal with asylum seekers. And now they will not be held at RAF Scampton both.
With Labour providing the 1000’s who arrive in small boats an efficient amnesty, Britain is an more and more enticing vacation spot. Extra are making the perilous journey – and extra are drowning.
On the election path, Sir Keir pledged to ‘smash the gangs’ who revenue from trafficking migrants throughout the Channel.
His failure to implement a robust deterrent means the UK is, as a substitute, an ever-more highly effective magnet for unlawful migrants.
A Brexit betrayal?
Sir Keir have to be weeping tears of pleasure, now Michel Barnier has been parachuted in as the brand new prime minister of France.
Throughout the bitter divorce proceedings between Britain and the EU, he conspired with the serpentine Mr Barnier – at the moment, Brussels’ chief negotiator – in an underhand bid to thwart Brexit altogether.
As of late, Sir Keir insists he does not need to reverse the referendum consequence. However bitter expertise reveals his guarantees aren’t well worth the paper they’re written on.
Each males are fanatical Remainers, each need a European superstate and neither hides his admiration for the opposite.
How lengthy earlier than they sneakily cook dinner up an entente which surrenders the sovereignty Britain voted decisively to regain?

Recipe for catastrophe
As predictably as night time follows day, the Left-wing unions have responded to their bumper pay awards from the Authorities with requires much more money.
Forward of its convention, the Trades Union Congress is demanding ‘pay restoration’ within the public sector to make up for real-terms wage cuts because the 2008 monetary crash.
Calculated so as to add £50 billion a yr to public spending, that is unaffordable. One instance is the junior docs clamouring for a backdated settlement of 35 per cent.

After all, such nonsense would as soon as have been laughed out of courtroom.
However having agreed as soon as to growth-crushing pay claims, Labour is once more confronted with its union paymasters, arms outstretched, anticipating additional generosity.
This can be a recipe for financial catastrophe. However would anybody guess in opposition to this Authorities – already approach out its depth – paying up?
- By eradicating the final 92 hereditary friends from the Home of Lords, Sir Keir would full an act of constitutional vandalism begun by Tony Blair. These unelected aristocrats could also be an anachronism, however they typically possess an experience usually sadly missing within the higher home. After they’re gone, he’ll little doubt cynically substitute them with failed Labour MPs, cronies and dodgy donors – pounding one other nail into British democracy’s coffin.
