The death of a baby when a boat sank on Thursday night was the 53rd fatality in 2024 - compared with just 12 last year. Numbers have risen more than fourfold in the last year.
Sir Keir Starmer was last night accused of ‘costing lives’ by scrapping the Rwanda scheme after it was revealed that the number of migrants dying in the Channel has increased more than fourfold over the past year.
The Prime Minister was accused of 'costing lives' by removing the Rwanda Scheme following the increase of migrants dying in the Channel‘He’s playing politics with people’s lives. You need a deterrent to stop people making the journey in the first place. The Refugee Council has forecast that 62,800 people, including Channel migrants, will be granted refugee status out of nearly 119,000 individual asylum seekers whose claims Labour inherited from the Tories.
He added: ‘The group of migrants of 68 people included 52 men, 12 women and four children. Among them, the lifeless body of a four-month-old baby was found. They were mainly of Iranian, Iraqi, Albanian and Eritrean nationality.’ On his first full day as Prime Minister, Sir Keir said he would end the ‘gimmick’ of deporting migrants arriving in the UK illegally. He has used powers within the Tories’ Illegal Migration Act to lift the ban on migrants claiming asylum and to scrap the duty on Home Secretary Yvette Cooper to remove them to a third country.
