Keir Starmer said the UK is in talks to send failed asylum seekers to "return hubs" in other countries.
During a major press conference in Albania, the Prime Minister announced plans to step up efforts to break the crime web fuelling illegal migration across the Western Balkans.
He confirmed discussions were ongoing about sending people who have been through the UK asylum system to be processed elsewhere. It could mean asylum seekers are deported to have their claims processed if their bid to stay in the UK is unsuccessful.
The Prime Minister said the talks were happening with "a number of countries about return hubs". The Prime Minister would not say which countries the UK was in talks with, but added: "At the appropriate time, I'll be able to give you further details in relation to it."
Mr Starmer added to GB News: "What now we want to do and are having discussions of, talks of, is return hubs which is where someone has been through the system in the UK, they need to be returned and we have to make sure they're returned effectively and we'll do that, if we can, through return hubs.
"So that's what the talks are about. I would say in this area no single measure is going to be the measure that is, if you like, a silver bullet.
"By putting it all together - arrests, seizures, agreements with other countries, returning people who shouldn't be here, and return hubs, if we can through these talks to add to our armoury, will allow us to bear down on this vile trade and to make sure that we stop those people crossing the Channel."

It’s all talk until they actually start sending people home in mass. Western Balkans could be Muslims or Ukranians.
He’s full of crap.
Just send them home.
Harsh political reality is catching up with him.
Its bull-pucky, very much like the Democrats would do here.
The illegals keep coming. They are released into society with EBT and Food stamps cards. They have a court hearing scheduled for years in the future. They don't show up. Nothing is done to find them.
Meanwhile Starmer is talking about, possibly thinking about, maybe sending those unsuccessful applicants out of the country.
It means nothing - pure spin to gain some media headline everage on Reform UK
Starmer is just trying to placate Labour and Conservative voters. So they wont end up voting Reform. Right now, Reform needs the support from the Tories. They don’t have that yet.
“Remain in Mexico” by a different name.
Or just sink a few rafts on the Channel, and the problem ends on its own.
There is going to be a huge hue and cry about this plan.
Starmer will be called all manner of nasty, ugly names.
Of course,”racist” will be one of those names.
Usually, he folds like a card table at first whisper of Liberal opposition. We will see if he’s built up the gumption to ignore the hysterics and just keep on driving forward.
Assuming this actually happens, where should he send them?
France is out, they would be on a boat back to UK the same day.
Who would take them?
Martha’s Vineyard.
Same here.
Did the British version of the Supreme court stop him from deporting the illegals?...
