    Cliff Notes

    • Sir Keir Starmer will address a summit in London focused on illegal migration, urging nations to collaborate against people-smuggling networks akin to international cooperation on terrorism.
    • The UK government plans to invest £33 million to disrupt people-smuggling operations and enhance legal actions against perpetrators, highlighting the severe implications of this global issue.
    • Home Secretary Yvette Cooper emphasised the critical need for unified international efforts to confront criminal gangs that facilitate illegal immigration, citing their extensive networks across various countries.

    Illegal migration ‘pits nations against one another’, Sir Keir Starmer to tell summit | UK News

    .

    Sir Keir Starmer is set to address a summit today aimed at cracking down illegal migration.

    The UK prime minister is expected to say countries must not be pitted against each other over the “vile trade” of people smuggling.

    Representatives of 40 countries will gather in London for the two-day summit, where Sir Keir is expected to call for nations to work together to stop people smuggling gangs in the same way they co-operate on terrorism.

    Ministers will announce that some £33m will be spent to disrupt people-smuggling networks and boost prosecutions, the Times newspaper reports.

    Sir Keir will also call for unity among the nations at the summit, which will include France and the US.

    “This vile trade exploits the cracks between our institutions, pits nations against one another and profits from our inability at the political level to come together,” he will say.

    Trevor Phillips questioned the home secretary on illegal immigration.

    The Home Office says the summit will deliver “concrete outcomes” for nations in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and North America.

    More on Migrant Crossings

    Ahead of the summit, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper told Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips that the government was looking at other countries where it could process asylum seekers.

    Ms Cooper said the summit was necessary because illegal immigration is a “global problem”.

    “The criminal gang networks that end up with people arriving in the UK, stretch back through northern France, through Germany, across Europe, to places like the hills of Kurdistan or the money markets in Kabul,” she added.

    February: Labour ‘deports 19,000 migrants’

    Senior Conservative shadow minister Alex Burghart said on Sunday that the Labour government should not have scrapped the Rwanda deportation plan when it came to power.

    Mr Burghart said the programme, which was aimed at deterring people from making the journey across the English Channel in small boats, had been “ready to go” but that there was now “no deterrent” in place.

    A record number of people – around 6,000 – have arrived in the UK after crossing the Channel in the first quarter of the year.

    The number is higher than the 5,435 people who arrived in the county in the first three months of 2024.
