<br>Let's assume Sir Keir Starmer wishes to win the next election. Let's likewise assume he has no desire to be [replaced](https://magnoliasresidence.com) as Prime Minister in the next year or so by Wes Streeting or Angela Rayner or anyone else.<br>[thehill.com](https://thehill.com/homenews/nexstar_media_wire/5358034-proposed-sale-of-millions-of-acres-of-public-land-under-gop-budget-bill-prompts-backlash/)

<br>He's a political leader, after all, and politicians relish power - Starmer more than a lot of, I would think. I also suggest that he's at least averagely intelligent, and ought to be able to weigh up the chances of any policy prospering.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>After the battles, compromises and humiliations included in attaining high office, Starmer has no intent of throwing it all away. Why, then, does he reveal every indication of doing so?<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>On the single concern that might matter most to a bulk of citizens, he is hurtling towards particular catastrophe, while denying himself any possibility of an escape route. I indicate the boats encountering the Channel.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Numbers of migrants doing the 21-mile journey are up by 42 percent on the exact same duration in 2015. An analysis by The Times, utilizing similar modelling as Border Force, anticipates that 50,000 individuals will cross the Channel in small boats in 2025. That would be an annual record - and a stonking ordeal for Sir Keir.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Peering into his mind, I reckon there are two primary possible descriptions for his behaviour. One is that he is misguiding himself. He really believes numbers will come down as soon as the measures he has taken start to work.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>If Starmer still thinks that his policies - throwing numerous millions at the French authorities, enhancing intelligence and utilizing enhanced police powers - will decrease the numbers, that really is the [victory](https://sinva.vn) of hope over [experience](https://rsw-haus.de). The other possibility is that he is currently beginning poorly to realise that his stratagems will not bear much, if any, fruit. So he and the Government have actually chosen to pull the wool over our eyes. A fatal approach.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>There have actually been two such examples in recent days. Having said in an online post on Monday that he felt 'upset' about the numbers crossing the Channel (how does he think the rest of us feel !?) the PM made a slippery claim.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Sir Keir Starmer now has absolutely nothing powerful in his locker, Stephen Glover composes<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Only 2,240 small-boat migrants were sent out home in the 12 months to March, 3 per cent fewer than in the previous year<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>He boasted that 'practically 30,000 [people'](https://deshvdesh.com) had been gotten rid of from the UK by this Government. Sounds excellent. But in truth this figure describes all kinds of [migrants](https://cyppro.com) who have no right to be in our country. Only 2,240 small-boat migrants were sent out home in the 12 months to March, 3 per cent less than in the previous year.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>A lie? Good God no! We should not implicate Labour prime ministers, far less Sir Keir Starmer KCB, PC, KC, MP, of telling purposeful fibs. Shall we opt for an analytical deception?<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>The other circumstances of the Government not being completely directly was the Home Office's claim earlier today that there have actually been more migrants this year because of [balmy weather](https://premiergroup-eg.com). These are called 'red days', when the sea is calm.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>But an analysis by my associate David Barrett in the other day's Mail reveals that in temperate May in 2015 there were 21 'red days' but only 2,765 arrivals, about 1,000 less than last month. In gentle June 2024 there were 20 'red days', though only 3,007 migrants were taped crossing the Channel.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>The most likely description is that last May and June the Government's plan to send out unlawful migrants to Rwanda had actually lastly cleared persistent judicial obstruction. Some, a minimum of, were prevented from crossing the Channel for worry of being packed off to the central African nation.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>The Rwanda plan was far from perfect - it was costly, and accountable to legal difficulty since the nation has an authoritarian federal government - but a minimum of it had some prospect of discouraging migrants. The inbound Labour Government got rid of its only possible ways of suppressing the boats.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Great for Tory leader Kemi Badenoch, who in a speech tomorrow will carry out to resurrect a plan strikingly similar to the Rwandan one.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Starmer now has nothing formidable in his locker. Literally absolutely nothing. He can offer further millions to the French government but it won't make much, if any, distinction. French authorities will still loll around on beaches, thinking of the [sand castles](https://lc-realestatemz.com) they made as children, as they view migrant boats setting off for Dover.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>The fact is that the French will never strain themselves due to the fact that every migrant who leaves their coasts is one less migrant for them to fret about. It is ignorant to envision that they are ever going to be zealous on our behalf.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>STEPHEN GLOVER: Keir Starmer is a soft man who can not understand the true evil Britain is dealing with<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Nor will Sir Keir's idea of improving intelligence and police be definitive. As for Labour's reported objective to play with Article 8 of the Human Rights Act so regarding preclude bogus asylum claims, that is welcome, however even if it becomes law it is not likely to have much result on total numbers.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Are the PM and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper beginning to stress as they realise they do not have a single policy likely to fulfil their pledge of 'smashing the gangs'? If they aren't desperate, they jolly well should be.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Three weeks earlier, Sir Keir was humiliated after he had applauded talks over Rwanda-style 'return hubs' only minutes before his Albanian equivalent, standing a couple of feet away, dismissed any cooperation.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Maybe the Government will convince the Kosovans or the North Macedonians to establish some sort of plan. But if it does, it will take months, if not years, and people will question why Sir Keir cancelled an arrangement that he is at least partially trying to [restore](https://salonrenter.com).<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>I have actually no particular wish to throw Starmer a lifeline but, as I've [suggested](https://lourealtygrp.com) before, there's one possible course out of the hole he has dug for himself - though it would take enormous determination and guts for him to take it.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>There are lots of unoccupied British islands off our coast and more afield. Pick one of them. Create a camp similar to those on the Isle of Man that housed alien internees during the War. of huts - instead of putting up less sturdy tents, as ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe has proposed.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Recruit doctors and officials to examine claims faster than takes place at present - and after that return most migrants to where they came from. The expense of setting up such a camp would be a fraction of the ₤ 4.3 billion invested in 2015 on housing migrants and asylum applicants.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Can anybody tell me why not? Few migrants would fancy kicking their heels for months in a camp, nevertheless humane, so it would be a wonderful deterrent. Cross the Channel, and you will be our guest - on a potentially windy island instead of in a four-star hotel.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Granted, in order to stave off [vexatious legal](https://www.machinelinker.com) challenges we 'd most likely need to derogate from the European Court of Human Rights, which would be a step too far for our mindful Prime Minister.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>But he does not have a much better idea. In reality, he hasn't got any concepts at all that are liable to stem the growing varieties of individuals streaming throughout the English Channel.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Things can just worsen - and as they do Labour will sink ever lower in public esteem. Does Sir Keir Starmer actually desire to be the signatory of his own political death warrant?<br>
