Sunak claims that the Labor Party will make the United Kingdom the “world capital of irregular migration”

The head of Government admits that he came to office “because of a mistake”

June 25 () –

The British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, stated this Monday that the Labor Party will make the United Kingdom the “world capital of irregular migration”, while the Conservative Party highlights its plans to reduce the arrival of migrants to the country.

Sunak has intensified his attacks on the proposals of his main rival, Labor’s Keir Starmer, to curb migration, which he believes would allow thousands more people to enter the United Kingdom each year. Given this, the opposition has responded by accusing him of “desperately inventing measures” about his policies.

“Migration is too high and we Conservatives have a clear plan to reduce it. Labor would destroy our model from day one by scrapping the Rwanda plan, even though countries across Europe are using it to cope with their own pressures.” migration,” he declared.

He has also criticized that “Labor’s only alternative is an amnesty for irregular migration and a charity agreement with the European Union that would lead the United Kingdom to receive even more irregular migrants from the continent, the opposite of what (London) needs.” “, according to the ‘Independent’ newspaper.

“So this is the clear choice in the election, the Conservatives, who have shown that we will take the bold steps necessary to break the gang model and stop the boats, and the Labor people, who would make us the world capital of illegal migration and they would return us to square one,” he argued.

While Sunak has used the occasion to reiterate his promises to stop migration through the deal to send migrants to Rwanda, Labor has pledged to scrap the multi-billion-dollar plan and use the money to pay for a new border security command.

“We will create a new Border Security Command with new counter-terrorism powers and hundreds of additional police and cross-border investigators to crack down on smuggling gangs. We will end the Tories’ asylum hotel amnesty, clearing the backlog with a new Return Unit and Execution to return those who have no right to be here,” he said.

The electoral campaign ahead of the July 4 elections is marked by the immigration issue, although the number of migrants who have arrived in the United Kingdom through the English Channel has reached a new record during the first six months of the year , registering more than 12,900 arrivals.

On the other hand, Sunak has admitted that he “got this job as a result of a mistake”, presumably referring to the tenure of his predecessor Liz Truss. Likewise, she pointed out that she perceives “a lot of people’s frustrations” and added that “the key to these elections is the future.”

The United Kingdom will hold general elections on July 4, under a call announced on May 22 by Sunak. Until then, the ‘premier’ had limited himself to publicly ensuring that the vote would take place in the second half of the year. Labor, favorites in these elections, have called for purging responsibilities and its leader, Keir Starmer, has stated that Saunder “should be suspended” as a candidate.
