sep 15, 2023 - Starmer to stall Immigration Policy

Description:

Keir Starmer has arrived in Canada to set out his doctrine for tackling international threats at a gathering of world leaders, the latest step in the Labour leader’s move to flesh out policy in politically turbulent areas such as immigration.

Amid continued efforts by Starmer and his team to push back against the “nonsense” that closer cooperation with the EU would involve the UK having to accept 100,000 asylum-seekers a year, the Labour leader was in Montreal for the Global Progress Action Summit of centre-left politicians.

After expected talks with Justin Trudeau, the Canadian prime minister, among others, Starmerwill travel to Paris next week to meet the French president, Emmanuel Macron, with refugees and small boats likely to be on the agenda.
