'Weak' Keir Starmer savaged over 'latest wheeze' as 'migrants laughing in his face'
Express Newspapers ^ | Sun, Jul 13, 2025 | Lotti OBrien

Keir Starmer has been branded "weak" after migrants in Calais said they would not stop coming to the UK despite a new asylum deal between France and the UK. The pilot initiative was designed to reduce the number of small boat crossings by returning illegal arrivals to France in exchange for legally processed asylum seekers with family ties in the UK.

But within hours of the announcement, the Express witnessed hundreds of migrants gathering in northern France, preparing to make the journey. Some were already attempting to board inflatable dinghies, while others had managed to launch boats that ultimately reached British soil. Despite the promise of a tougher stance, migrants waiting in Calais mocked the idea that the new policy would discourage them. “We will try anyway,” several men told the Express, laughing off questions about whether the new deal had changed their minds.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp slammed Sir Keir over the deal, which was announced last Thursday. He said: "With 94% of illegal immigrants allowed to stay in the UK under Keir Starmer’s weak deal, it’s no wonder migrants themselves say it will make no difference. This latest wheeze won’t work - just like Starmer’s previous ‘smash the gangs’ gimmick didn’t work.

"Illegal immigrant crossings of the channel are up over 40% since the election, and 2025 so far has been the worst in history. Starmer is a weak prime minister who has lost control of our borders, and now illegal immigrants are openly laughing in his face."

Although French gendarmes were seen intervening in some crossings over the weekend, their presence remains inconsistent across the northern coastline. On Sunday morning, officers disrupted one crossing attempt by slashing a dinghy near Sangatte beach, just south of Calais. Officers waded towards the boat, carrying more than 40 migrants,

He needs to ask President Trump to send some motivated Americans over to Britain to advise on border policy and preparation.

Q. What did the Tories do to stop illegal immigration?
A. Nothing significant.

Q. What is Labour doing to stop illegal immigration?
A. Nothing significant.

Q. Would Reform do any better?
A. Oh, yes. But the British Deep State will never let them take power.

☹️

Britain already surrendered to the muslims. The muslims will not let them un-surrender.

Translation.... UK getting kicked in the ass for not deporting everyone that came illegally in the past. "Socialism, build it and the dead beats, malcontents, and radicals will come"

I am so sick of Britain and their weird British news and news of British parents mistreating their children. I wish there was a way for my feed not to show me any British news. Don’t get me wrong, I despise the American parents who mistreat their children too.

Better Britain than Poland, who never had any colonies and never committed atrocities like the Brits did in Amritsar. Poland needs to send all the refugees being dumped on them by the Krauts to the UK.
