Starmer seeks to build foreign-based migrant ‘return hubs’
A group of people believed to be migrants are lead through the Border Force compound in Dover, Kent, following small boat crossings in the Channel, May 12, 2025

SIR KEIR STARMER ramped up his anti-migrant campaign today with a pledge to set up “return hubs” for asylum-seekers in third countries.

Speaking on a trip to Albania, he announced that Labour will start looking at sending failed asylum-seekers for processing in third countries prior to deportation.

This forms part of his effort to crack down on small boats crossing the Channel in order to secure the support of Reform-inclined voters.
