Announcing the move in the House of Commons today, she said: ‘The need for reform is obvious and urgent.’
She added: ‘They will not stop coming here until the world knows that if you enter Britain illegally you will be detained and swiftly removed.’ Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper suggested there was little difference between the bill introduced today and last year’s bill from Priti Patel which ‘did not work’.The number of small boats arriving on the shores of the UK has increased significantly in recent years It is expected to take several months for the law to come into effect even if the process goes smoothly, though the government says it will apply retrospectively once it does.
The topic of tackling small boats and the effects of the new legislation are likely to be top of the agenda at a meeting between Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the French president Emmanuel Macron on Friday. Last year, a total of 45,756 migrants reached Britain via the English Channel, according to Home Office statistics, up from just 280 in 2018.There were 74,751 asylum applications in 2022, the highest annual number since 84,132 were recorded in 2002.
Heartbreaking news. These desperate people need support not vilification.
Hopefully this will stop the boats and the deaths and drownings from trying to cross the channel. Human lives are important.
😂😂😂 oh I’m sure they’ll all just stop now😂😂😂
Until tomorrow ..... rinse, repeat.
Watch not what they say but what they do actions speak louder than words and until this actually happens its just more not air
