Embattled UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is channelling his inner Donald Trump as he tries to stop the relentless flow of small boats carrying immigrants across the English Channel from sinking his Labour government.
A package of harsh measures to be officially unveiled on Monday would make Starmer the human rights lawyer blanch. But Starmer the prime minister has little choice but to get tough if he is to stop the votes flowing to the insurgent Nigel Farage.
The new measures are modelled on those adopted by Denmark’s centre-left government, which has managed to cut the flow of irregular immigrants to a 40-year-old low.
But they also are similar to some of the sticks that successive Australian governments have held to “stop the boats” since John Howard’s time as prime minister.
And in a Trumpian flourish, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has threatened to impose visa bans on people from Angola, Namibia and the Democratic Republic of Congo if their governments refuse to take back illegal migrants. Australia passed a similar law last year to ban visa applications from designated countries that do not accept involuntarily returns but has not yet used it.
The left in Britain will hate the changes. But the hard-nosed approach from the Danes offers a pathway for progressives to be credible on border protection, much as Anthony Albanese did by retaining many of the Coalition’s measures against illegal arrivals after the influx during the mandates of Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd.
Mahmood, the daughter of legal migrants from Pakistan, has vowed to end the “golden ticket” for those who arrive illegally or overstay their visas. She will also later this week outline changes to legal migration that may affect Australians wanting to settle in the UK.

Step 1 — Pretend to get tough on immigration to stop Farage.
Step 2 — Stop Farage.
Step 3 — Open the floodgates to bring in more immigrants.
Trump is serious about stopping illegal immigration.
Starmer is pretending to be serious about stopping illegal immigration.
Bit of a difference there, eh?
It’s A Trap
Spot on. I would add exploit the alliance with “news” outlets to sell the lie that you intend to abandon the open border policy to step one. England is doomed. Farage is much, much closer to W Bush than he is to Trump so even if got in it would be a case of way too little and way too late.
Charlie Brown and Lucy football gag
Stop the boats, permanently, and sink Starmer, to the bottom of the Channel. Unless they steal elections in Britain as bad as they do in the US, I can’t believe what’s left of the native British population can’t wake up enough to stop the full scale sell out of their nation and destruction of their culture and institutions. Are they really that stupid? Really?
This is really easy. Just immediately and summarily deport anyone in the country illegally. No hearing, not appeal.
TOO LITTLE
TOO LATE
Or, give them Chunnel tickets, and send them to Paris.
Or, start killing the Muslim Gang leaders that provide the boats and transport the immigrants across the English Channel.
Socialized style giveaways have attracted undesirables. Whoda thought?
Agreed. I don't think Farage is tough enough but not sure who is nowadays !
