Starmer tries to tackle the biggest single issue in the UK.
With his failing government under threat from his own party, and with opinion polls putting Labour in fourth place, behind Reform, Tories and Greens, Prime Minister Keir Starmer knew he had to do something about rampant illegal migration.
So, now, Britain has announced an overhaul in its approach to human rights laws.
The goal is to make it easier to deport illegal migrants in a revision of asylum policy to be set out tomorrow (17).

Reuters reported:
“Interior minister Shabana Mahmood will outline changes to how the European Convention on Human Rights will be interpreted by courts, the government said.
‘These reforms will block endless appeals, stop last minute claims and scale up removals of those with no right to be here’, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said in a statement.
In what the government claims to be the most sweeping asylum policy overhaul of modern times, Mahmood will also announce plans to make refugee status temporary and to quadruple the length of time refugees will have to wait for permanent settlement in Britain.”
The Home Secretary sounds like a Reform supporter.
It’s a shame that the Human Rights Act, ECHR and her own backbenchers mean that this will never happen. https://t.co/gbRMpzJXL8

Mahmood also announced that countries refusing to take back illegal migrants from Britain will face visa bans.
The Telegraph reported:
“States that will not accept the deportation of failed asylum seekers or foreign criminals are to face a ‘sliding scale’ of penalties, from the removal of fast-track visa services to bans on entry documents for everyone from tourists to senior politicians.
On Monday, the Home Secretary will announce plans to block people from travelling to the UK from Angola, Namibia and the Democratic Republic of Congo unless there is a rapid improvement in the number of returned migrants they accept.”
