  1. This is utter rubbish, they can get this stuff from anywhere, they will find other supply chains because the profits are so large, this is absolute rubbish, get the people who are running it, the means of doing it are irrelevant.

  2. What nonsense! The boats could be stopped today: the border patrol checks every illegal immigrant for a passport. If they do not have a valid passport the illegal should be returned to France. It could be implemented immediately. Somebody tell Lammy the traffickers will disappear and pop up in another guise in 24 hours. He knows it, Labour knows it, the World knows it. Lammy is just spouting a false narrative. Labour has no intention of stopping the boats.

  3. This is incredibly sensible and innovative legislation. They're following the money, changing the economic incentives so that smuggling is more difficult and most importantly less profitable.

  4. Is he for Real? This is not a corporate company that he is dealing with that has assets that are easily accessible, they are criminal gangs. Does he also think that he has the right to raid house in France and Europe?
    I think he has lost the plot and if this is the best that Labour can do then we are all doomed.
