The Conservative Party criticized Sir Keir Starmer's new measures to combat small boat gangs, claiming they will be ineffective without a deterrent to prevent migrants from crossing the Channel. They warned that ignoring this need could lead to more fatalities.
Starmer plans to announce a £150 million initiative to enhance border security and expedite prosecutions for people smugglers. However, the Tories argue that without addressing the root causes of migration, the situation will persist.
