UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, has announced stricter measures against illegal migration, warning that anyone living or working unlawfully in the country will face arrest, detention, and deportation.
In a Facebook post, Starmer reaffirmed his government’s zero-tolerance approach to irregular migration and unlawful employment, stating: “Illegal entry means detention. Illegal work means arrest. Foreign national offenders will be deported.”
The Labour leader also restated on X (formerly Twitter) that migrants crossing the English Channel illegally would not be allowed to remain in the UK. “We will not reward illegal entry. If you cross the Channel unlawfully, you will be detained and sent back,” he wrote.
Official figures from the Home Office show that more than 29,000 migrants have crossed the Channel in small boats so far in 2025, a record number and nearly 50% higher than the same period last year.
The surge has sparked protests in several towns and cities, including London, Skegness, and Gloucester, where asylum seekers are being accommodated in hotels. At least five protesters were arrested in west London over the weekend.
