Sir Keir meets with Macron to discuss his controversial plan to stop refugees crossing the Channel
Community (EPC) Summit at Mimi Castle in Bulboaca near Chisinau, Moldova, June 1, 2023

SIR KEIR STARMER crossed the Channel today as part of his controversial plan to stop refugees going in the opposite direction.

The Labour leader dashed to Paris for talks with French President Emmanuel Macron focused on stopping “small boats” migrants as well as preparing the ground for Brexit backsliding if he secures office.

Sir Keir has proposed to stop the small boats by treating their organisers as “terrorists” and slammed any dissenting opinion as “un-British.”
