'Migrant hub' plan will send alarm bells clanging for many Labour MPs - as Tories smell blood
Saturday, 22 March 2025 The very idea that the government is brainstorming proposals to deport failed asylum seekers to third countries, with its echoes of the controversial Rwanda plan, will send alarm bells clanging for many Labour MPs.
Shadow Scotland Secretary Andrew Bowie says he has “little to no confidence” Labour’s plans to tackle small boat crossings will work. Speaking after Yvette Cooper announced the first migrant returns to France will begin this month, he said the Government has “so far seen no dent” in crossings and must show real results before the next election.

Andrew Bowie has branded Sir Keir Starmer’s reshuffle “the shuffling of deck chairs on this Titanic of a government”.

Bowie said Labour is “failing on all fronts”. Report by Covellm. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn
