Keir Starmer Faces Another Labour Revolt over Migrant Deal with France
- Labour Leader Keir Starmer faces rebellion from backbenchers over a proposed "one in, one out" migrant deal with France, which involves sending migrants back to France in exchange for accepting asylum seekers from there.
- More than 44,000 migrants have crossed into the UK via small boats since the last General Election, a 40% increase compared to Rishi Sunak's time in office.
- Clive Lewis, a Labour MP, emphasizes the need for "safe routes" to effectively address the migrant crisis, suggesting the current approach lacks a humane policy.
- Rebellion against Starmer's migrant deal may mirror recent unrest over disability benefit reforms, as many Labour MPs question the government's direction on immigration.
