Starmer’s border policy will cost more migrant lives
RAVISHAAN RAHEL MUTHIAH condemns Labour’s £75m border security plan as deaths in Channel reach record highs, arguing that instead, Britain should reopen safe, legal routes for migrants

KEIR STARMER’S record on migration is already worse than the last government. The number of tragedies in the Channel in 2024 will dwarf last year and the previous two years put together.
So far this year, 61 people have died crossing the Channel, almost three times the number in 2023, making 2024 the worst year for Channel deaths in the last decade, with 15 people dying in the last month alone.
But this is not about numbers. The blood, dreams and futures of people seeking a better life lie lifeless in our seas.
