Let's assume Sir Keir Starmer wants to win the next election. Let's also assume he has no desire to be replaced as Prime Minister in the next year or so by Wes Streeting or Angela Rayner or anybody else.
+
He's a political leader, after all, and political leaders enjoy power - Starmer more than many, I would believe. I also suggest that he's at least averagely intelligent, and need to have the ability to weigh up the [possibilities](https://www.morrobaydreamcottage.com) of any policy being successful.
+
After the battles, compromises and embarrassments associated with accomplishing high office, Starmer has no intent of throwing it all away. Why, then, does he reveal every indication of doing so?
+
On the single problem that might matter most to a majority of voters, he is speeding towards particular disaster, while denying himself any prospect of an escape path. I mean the boats stumbling upon the Channel.
+
Numbers of migrants doing the 21-mile journey are up by 42 percent on the very same duration in 2015. An analysis by The Times, using similar modelling as Border Force, predicts that 50,000 individuals will cross the Channel in little boats in 2025. That would be an annual record - and a stonking ordeal for [Sir Keir](https://myassetpoint.com).
+
Peering into his mind, I reckon there are two primary possible descriptions for his behaviour. One is that he is deluding himself. He actually believes numbers will come down once the measures he has taken start to work.
+
If Starmer still thinks that his policies - throwing hundreds of millions at the French authorities, enhancing intelligence and utilizing boosted police powers - will minimize the numbers, that really is the victory of hope over experience. The other possibility is that he is already starting poorly to realise that his stratagems will not bear much, if any, fruit. So he and the Government have decided to pull the wool over our eyes. A deadly technique.
+
There have actually been 2 such examples in current days. Having said in an online post on Monday that he felt 'angry' about the numbers crossing the Channel (how does he think the rest people feel !?) the PM made a slippery claim.
+
Sir Keir Starmer now has nothing formidable in his locker, Stephen Glover writes
+
Only 2,240 small-boat migrants were sent home in the 12 months to March, 3 percent less than in the previous year
+
He boasted that 'almost 30,000 people' had been gotten rid of from the UK by this Government. Sounds excellent. But in fact this figure refers to all types of migrants who have no right to be in our country. Only 2,240 small-boat migrants were sent out home in the 12 months to March, 3 per cent less than in the previous year.
+
A lie? Good God no! We should not implicate Labour prime ministers, far less Sir Keir Starmer KCB, PC, KC, MP, of informing purposeful fibs. Shall we choose an analytical sleight of hand?
+
The other instance of the Government not being entirely straight was the Home Office's claim previously this week that there have been more migrants this year since of balmy weather [condition](http://tv.houseslands.com). These are called 'red days', when the sea is calm.
+
But an analysis by my associate David Barrett in the other day's Mail reveals that in temperate May last year there were 21 'red days' but just 2,765 arrivals, about 1,000 fewer than last month. In mild June 2024 there were 20 'red days', though only 3,007 migrants were tape-recorded crossing the Channel.
+
The most likely description is that last May and June the Government's plan to send prohibited migrants to Rwanda had lastly cleared relentless judicial blockage. Some, a minimum of, were hindered from the Channel for worry of being loaded off to the central African country.
+
The Rwanda scheme was far from ideal - it was pricey, and responsible to legal challenge since the nation has an authoritarian government - but at least it had some possibility of deterring migrants. The inbound Labour Government got rid of its only possible means of curbing the boats.
+
Helpful for [Tory leader](https://trinidadrealestate.co.tt) Kemi Badenoch, who in a speech tomorrow will undertake to reanimate a plan strikingly similar to the Rwandan one.
+
Starmer now has absolutely nothing formidable in his locker. Literally nothing. He can provide more millions to the French government however it will not make much, if any, difference. French cops will still loll around on beaches, thinking about the sand castles they made as children, as they view migrant boats setting off for Dover.
+
The reality is that the French will never ever strain themselves due to the fact that every migrant who leaves their shores is one less migrant for them to stress over. It is naive to picture that they are ever going to be zealous on our behalf.
+
STEPHEN GLOVER: Keir Starmer is a soft guy who can not [understand](https://asbrealty.com.au) the true evil Britain is dealing with
+
Nor will Sir Keir's concept of enhancing intelligence and law enforcement be definitive. When it comes to Labour's reported [objective](https://www.rentiranapartment.com) to play with Article 8 of the Human Rights Act so regarding preclude bogus asylum claims, that is welcome, however even if it becomes law it is not likely to have much impact on general numbers.
+
Are the PM and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper starting to worry as they understand they don't have a single policy likely to satisfy their promise of ['smashing](https://jsons.ae) the gangs'? If they aren't desperate, they jolly well need to be.
+
Three weeks earlier, Sir Keir was embarrassed after he had actually applauded talks over Rwanda-style 'return hubs' only minutes before his Albanian counterpart, standing a couple of feet away, ruled out any cooperation.
+
Maybe the Government will persuade the Kosovans or the North Macedonians to establish some sort of plan. But if it does, it will take months, if not years, and individuals will wonder why Sir Keir cancelled an arrangement that he is at least partly attempting to restore.
+
I have actually no specific dream to throw Starmer a lifeline however, as I have actually suggested before, there's one possible path out of the hole he has actually dug for himself - though it would take huge decision and courage for him to take it.
+
There are lots of uninhabited British islands off our coast and more afield. Pick among them. Create a camp comparable to those on the Isle of Man that housed alien internees throughout the War. [Build numerous](https://propcart.co.ke) huts - rather than putting up less durable tents, as ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe has proposed.
+
Recruit physicians and officials to assess claims faster than happens at present - and after that return most migrants to where they came from. The cost of establishing such a camp would be a portion of the ₤ 4.3 billion invested in 2015 on housing migrants and [asylum seekers](https://acerealty.com.my).
+
Can anybody tell me why not? Few migrants would fancy kicking their heels for months in a camp, nevertheless humane, so it would be a wonderful deterrent. Cross the Channel, and you will be our visitor - on a possibly windy island rather than in a four-star hotel.
+
Granted, in order to stave off vexatious legal [difficulties](https://tsiligirisrealestate.gr) we 'd most likely have to derogate from the European Court of Human Rights, which would be an action too far for our careful Prime Minister.
+
But he does not have a much better idea. In truth, he hasn't got any concepts at all that are accountable to stem the growing numbers of individuals streaming across the English Channel.
+
Things can just become worse - and as they do Labour will sink ever lower in public esteem. Does Sir Keir Starmer really want to be the signatory of his own political death warrant?
