PM brands Channel crossings ‘Farage boats’ because Brexit has hampered returns – UK politics live | Politics

Starmer: Leaving the EU prevented their efforts to return immigrants
Good morning. Keir Starmer After the conference speech, he recorded about 10 broadcast interviews yesterday afternoon, all of them will be published this morning. They’re playing now. As you expected, many repetitions – many questions and answers are the same – but there are still many new lines.
One of the courageous answers came while talking to Christopher Hope, the political editor of GB News, reform UK’s favorite TV channel. Hope asked if the government could stop small boats, and Starmer said that the return agreement with France would make a difference. But then he continued to claim that they were “Farage boats in many ways, because after Brexit, the Dublin Convention returns the agreement that is no longer implemented.
Here is Starmer’s answer exactly.
The return agreement with France is important because we must determine that if you come with the boat, you will return to France.
I accept numbers [returned so far under the agreement] low. We had to prove the concept and prove that this could work. Now we did this. But now we have to speed up.
Nigel Farage and others gently stated that we had a return agreement with every country in the EU before leaving the EU. And he said he wouldn’t make any difference if we left. He was wrong about it. These are Farage boats in many ways that come across the channel.
Starmer does not seem to have used this line in other interviews, and it is not clear whether it is in the beginning for a constant government to re -brand them as “Farage boats, or whether Starmer is trying to get hope, and asking questions reflecting the views of the Farage -loving audience.
Ed DaveyLib Dem Lümer, the party conference speech also made a similar discussion. John RentoulIndependent commentator, who is in general, sympathetic to labor, He said this morning Davey and Starmer were wrong to claim that being out of Dublin convention made a lot of difference in small boat arrival numbers.
Ed Davey’s false analysis was surprised by PM: boats have nothing to do with Brexit; & Dublin Convention never worked
But in fact, the dublin convention is probably no key problem. Peter Walsh is a senior researcher Migration observationAn immigration thought tank has recently argued that Brexit has worsened the small boat problem, because Britain can now access an EU fingerprint database, which means that asylum seekers can come to England knowing that they will not automatically be discarded because they apply in another European country. He said:
The Brexit effect also has increased evidence [in explaining why migrants want to leave France and come to the UK]. Now we are talking to asylum seekers and often demanded asylum in the EU country, sometimes they were rejected, but Britain is no longer a part of the EU and no longer have a party to the EU’s fingerprint database for asylum seekers, if they can reach England and have another chance in Europe.
There are much more lines in Starmer interviews. I will send them in a short time.
Here is the agenda of the day.
09.30: The conference begins and the main speakers Environmental Secretary Emma Reynolds, Energy Secretary Ed Miliband at 10.30, Ed Miliband, Shabana Mahmood, Shabana Mahmood, who closed the conference as the President of the National Executive Committee at 11.15 at 11.15.
11.30: Training Secretary Bridget Phillipson and former Commons leader Lucy Powell are joining the leadership assistant.

KEY EVENTS
Starmer says that Farage and supporters do not think they are racist – 43% of the polls voters
Keir Starmer Nigel Farage said reform British leader or supporters do not think they were racist.
At this point, most of the interviews published this morning explained that what he called racist was a reform of the reform announced last week, which was said to have left the country in England.
During this party conference, Starmer’s most important interpretation of the most important interpretation of the BBC on Sunday, Laura Kuensberg asked him if the reform of British policy was racist and that Starmer said. This interview showed that Labour’s reform, which has a leadership of about 10 points in surveys, was a transformation on how to fight England. Most of Starmer’s speech yesterday was dedicated to revealing this argument. However, the fact that the workers’ figures many times the potentially racist of Farage has sometimes made them ask with embarrassing consequences.
In an interview with Sky News, Beth Rigby He asked Starmer if he thought Farage was racist. Starmer reply:
No, I think reform voters are racist.
They’re worried about things like our borders. They were disappointed about the tempo of change.
So I don’t claim that they are racist for a moment. I was talking about a particular policy, and those who did not have the right to be here, on the other hand, a distinction between reaching and deporting the immigrants who have reached the immigrants working in our hospitals and schools for years, and I was a really important distinction in my mind. This would break our country for me.
In other interviews, reform asked the UK called people who voted and called, Starmer said, “Not the slightest”.
In the interview, Robert PestonITV News, the political editor, pointed out that Starmer British supporters did not step with a large number of voters if they do not think of racist reform. Referred to some Polling by Yougov For the Peston program that shows this.
Peston asked Starmer that he could call a policy racist, but not the people who support it. Starmer gave a version of his response to Sky:
I’m not calling reform voters racist. Most of them are simply anxious and angry because they want to see the change and are worried that we secure our boundaries like me. This is not racist.
