  • Starmer vows to 'take back control of borders' as he unveils tighter immigration rules - Starmer announces every area of UK's immigration system will be tightened

In a significant policy announcement, UK Labour Party leader Keir Starmer has pledged to "take back control of our borders" by introducing stricter immigration rules, aiming to address public concerns over immigration and asylum policies. During a speech in Dover, Starmer criticized the current government's handling of the issue, particularly the controversial Rwanda deportation plan, which he promised to scrap if Labour comes to power. He proposed the establishment of a new "Border Security Command" to enhance the coordination between various agencies and combat people smuggling more effectively. Starmer's plan also includes hiring additional asylum caseworkers to clear the backlog of asylum claims and implementing fast-track returns agreements with the EU, marking a significant shift in Labour's approach to immigration and border control.
