Sir Keir Starmer has been urged to suspend EU fishing until France stops migrants crossing the English Channel and “end the madness.”
Chris Philp the Shadow Home Secretary has said he address Starmer’s “sell-out” reset in the House Commons on Monday.
Philp said, “The French are completely failing to stop these illegal immigrants, despite receiving hundreds of millions of pounds from the UK taxpayer to do so. They are also failing to intercept any boats at sea and return them as the Belgians do.”
GB News Security Editor Mark White revealed that lifeboats were queuing up to arrive at Dover harbour on Saturday.
White reported on GB News, “Very rarely do we ever get this high. We can top a thousand in the hot days of summer, I’m talking August, September time.
“To get this number is significant, but to get it so early in the year is phenomenal.
“In images shot from a coastline community resort between Dunkirk and Calais, you see lots and lots of migrants wading out into the shallow English Channel to get onto taxi boats.
“These boats were launched further up the coast from rivers which come and collect others.
“We see police standing around doing absolutely nothing which is infuriating Government ministers in this country.”
On Saturday a shocking 1,194 migrants arrived in the UK on 18 boats which comes as French police are not using their so-called new powers that allows them to stop the boats leaving.
It is quite clear the useless French police cannot be bothers to act on their new powers.
White added, “The French have passed a new law allowing their maritime rigid inflatable boats to intervene when these boats are in shallow waters to push them back.
“They haven’t enacted that policy yet. The British will be pushing the French as a matter of urgency to do what they said they would do when they passed this legislation to start pushing boats back onto the beach.
“If they do that, it will lead to scenes of real anger and disorder as we have seen when the police have tried to puncture boats at various points, when police have been badly beaten up by migrants.
“You can push them back onto the beach, but if you don’t have a plan to process them and effectively get them out of your country, all you’re doing is disrupting them and they will probably succeed on another day.”
Philp told GB News, “Over a thousand illegal immigrants in a single day, boats flooding the Channel, Border Force stretched beyond breaking point, and even fishing vessels drafted in because our maritime rescue services are overwhelmed. A nation reduced to chaos on the high seas while Keir Starmer hides behind platitudes and process.
“Labour has completely lost control of our borders. Their pledge to smash gangs in tatters. They scrapped the Rwanda deterrent before it even began and now the boats won’t stop coming.
“So far, this is already the worst year on record. Labour have failed on every front, and Britain is paying the price. This is a day of shame for Labour.”
The Home Office came out with their usual line, they said, “We all want to end dangerous small boat crossings, which threaten lives and undermine our border security.
“The people-smuggling gangs do not care if the vulnerable people they exploit live or die, as long as they pay and we will stop at nothing to dismantle their business models and bring them to justice.
“That is why this government has put together a serious plan to take down these networks at every stage.
“Through international intelligence sharing under our Border Security Command, enhanced enforcement operations in Northern France and tougher legislation in the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill, we are strengthening international partnerships and boosting our ability to identify, disrupt, and dismantle criminal gangs whilst strengthening the security of our borders.”
