So labour have solved the small boat crossings 06:40 - Mar 4 with 4452 views | onceablue | Unfortunately not there is a surprise!!!!!! Whether you agree with the crossings here is not the issue. 592 people in 11 boats on 2/3/25 I thought Labour had appointed a high level high paid person to sort this. I know if I had been given a project to do at work and after 8 months I was failing dismally I would be asked to step down |  | | |  |

A change in law is the only answer, but it breaks international treaties. Only the Duning-Kruger Reform party have the answer, shame it is illegal and none of their supporters extend far enough the curve to understand this. |  | |  |

Deep rooted problems caused by the sort of people that they almost certainly vote for. [Post edited 4 Mar 7:05]

Do you also think this is something you sort out on 8 months? If it was that simple the Conservatives would have already done it. For what it's worth I don't think Labour are going to get it much further down as the problem isn't something that is very easily solvable. It'd be much simpler just to speed up our side of things. |  |

Is the best chance to solve this closer cooperation with Europe and in particular France? Is the UK increasing its influence in Europe and leading? The answers sequentially are Probably not albeit it’s hard to tell. Yes Yes |  | |  |

Would it also be great if Kier Starmer was honest for a change and admitted it can’t be solved . This won’t happen as unfortunately as no Politician wants to loose face It can’t be solved because there are too many issues going on in the world. If you look at a map detailing current on going conflicts in the world the majority of Asia and Africa are in some form of conflict Over the next 50 years there is going to be a movement of people never seen before. Europe due to its location is going to have to accommodate the majority of these people. The reason for this movement whether to seek refuge or for economic gain is irrelevant. The real question is how we financially pay for an increasing population and all the additional costs that come with that I for one like the idea of knowing where the tax I pay is going. I have always loved the Liberal Democrat’s idea of paying an extra penny in tax for the NHS. Perhaps we could have an extra penny to try and sort the world’s problem |  | |  |

It depends on the definition of ‘solving’ the problem is. In my opinion it’s been managed horrendously for a number of years to the point where it’s appeared to be deliberate on the part of the last government. Coming back to ‘solving’ you might be right and a quick message to those sympathetic with Trump’s position on Putin - it’s only a few years ago he was barrel bombing Syrian civilians and aid convoys driving deliberately weaponising and driving migration to Europe. I don’t think the problem is solvable per se but I do think it can be managed a lot better and I’m more confident in this government than the last one. I’d back you up on the tax albeit I think you’d find it hard in 2025 Britain to sell higher tax to fund foreign aid sadly. |  | |  |

Hang on a second. You're recognising it's a practically impossible challenge, but a minute ago, you were moaning that a single bloke hadn't solved the issue in eight months. Also, you can find out where your taxes are going. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/how-public-spending-was-calculated-in Dealing with this sort of migration is covered under "Overseas aid", which is a fixed percentage of tax we spend each year. The more we spend here, the less we spend abroad. |  |

Now wouldn’t it have been better to have that as the OP? Some good points there. It’s a very difficult issue to solve and probably impossible as long as there’s no clear legal way to enter the country in order to claim asylum. And yes, the expectation is that migration (for asylum purposes) is expected to increase significantly due to climate change impacts and conflict. |  |

No Dan I am bemoaning the fact that Labour stated they would solve the problem and quite clearly knew they couldn’t Of course they didn’t say that because they wouldn’t have got into power I am bemoaning the fact that the Labour are as bigger liars than any other party. They said they wanted to bring honesty and transparency into politics and have done the complete opposite. |  | |  |

That third paragraph is ridiculous given the number and size of the lies told by the Tories. Where are the 25 new hospitals or the 350m a week for our NHS? Where are the Brexit benefits and all the trade deals they were going to sign with the world? Not sure your can take a single issue which they said they would try and solve and that you acknowledge is pretty hard to solve and then batter them with it. Just looks narrative driven. SB |  | |  |

Over the 10 years between mid-2022 and mid-2032, the population of the UK is projected to increase by 4.9 million (7.3%) from an estimated 67.6 million to 72.5 million; this increase is projected to arise from net migration of 4.9 million compared with 6.8 million births and 6.8 million deaths. Don’t think that is .00009% Are you getting your figures from Mr Starmer directly |  | |  |
