Sir Keir Starmer’s failure to stop small boats crossing the Channel and his decision to make Peter Mandelson ambassador to the United States are among the top reasons why Labour faces a historic drubbing in this week’s elections. New polling lays bare the nightmare facing the Labour leader as speculation mounts he will face a leadership challenge if the party suffers a catastrophe in the elections for English councils and the Scottish and Welsh parliaments.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: “The British people are right. More than 70,000 illegal immigrants have crossed the Channel since Keir Starmer entered office – up 45% since the election – and barely any of them have been removed.”
Alp Mehmet of Migration Watch gave a damning assessment of Labour’s efforts to stop the Channel crossings and criticised the party for ditching the scheme to send migrants to Rwanda, saying: “They abandoned the only deterrence they inherited from the Tories and have turned from one futile gimmick to another. Meanwhile, hundreds of millions have gone to the French who have also failed spectacularly to deliver.”
The next most commonly cited “worst” actions of the Labour Government were appointing Mandelson to the UK’s top diplomatic post (24%); “putting up taxes and freezing income tax thresholds” and “allowing arms sales to Israel" (both 23%); and “scrapping the two-child limit on welfare benefits” (17%).
The polling from Lord Ashcroft, a former deputy Tory chairman, found 49% of voters disliked both Labour and Sir Keir, while 44% disliked both the Conservatives and party leader Kemi Badenoch.

It’s deliberate.
Butt, butt, butt.......royal navy and stuff.....
He gave money to France but the boats moved to another country ,LOL
85k illegals a friggn month for months!
Is it any wonder EUwwww citizens have been disarmed!
Same for austrailia and new zealand!
Friggn will all be slaves and the muzziees will have Nukes any damn way!
Both Labour and the Tories will disappear
They will be replaced by fringe green/islamist/marxists, and Restore / Reform
Things may then get spicy
Yep, he didn’t fail, he succeeded as they planned.
It’s deliberate.“
It is. These are the replacement voters. It is a race to get enough of them in the right places to create Labour/Green control.
Calling that a failure is the same as referring to any illegal aliens as migrants — acting as a tool for the WEF.
It is deliberate.
Wanna stop It? Easy peasey. Just seize every boat that makes the crossing. Don’t return to the Froggies, they are complicit simply because they don’t want the trash to stay in France.
Seize the boats. Keep them unless the owner shows up physically in England and presents proof of ownership and of the boat’s theft. Otherwise, pi$$ off.
They will run out of boats.
It’s either deliberate or the epitome of the weakness of western men.
We’re watching a curtain of Darkness fall over the EU. Socialist sepaku.
They don’t have to stop them in the channel, arrest them on the beaches. Declare the illegal invaders and shoot them.
This article couldn’t be more wrong. The boats have been coming for years and no government has tried to stop them - not Labour and not the “Conservatives.” Labour voters don’t want the boats stopped. Its been the policy of Labour for about 25 years to have the boats come to fundamentally transform the UK. Starmer is continuing a policy that every Labour Prime Minister has followed since Blair.
His job was not to stop boats it was to talk about stopping boats. He was passing the time to allow as many boats as possible to cross. He will leave office having been successful in the task that he was assigned by the World Economic Forum. “Westminster or Davis?” “Davos!”
More than 70,000 = at least 100,000
Barely any = none
A mere transitional period. The interregnum before the Islamic regime.
Possibly an Islamic republic of some sort, but more likely an Emirate.
Not a Caliphate. That involves claiming to be a lineal descendant of Muhammad.
In good King Charles' golden days when loyalty no harm meant
A pious man of God was I and so I gained preferment.
There is no god but God quoth I, Muhammad is His prophet.
The infidel sign upon the flag shall soon be taken off it.And this be law, I will maintain ...
Restore UK
Yes the Tories were terrible as well - did nothing to stop the attacks in free speech or the illegal immigration.
Keir Starmer is PM because of the Conservatives failure to stop the boats.
Next batter!
