Watch as Sir Keir Starmer takes a swipe at Nigel Farage whilst announcing a migrant deal with France.
Speaking with Emmanuel Macron in a joint address on Thursday (10 July), the British prime minister said dealing with migration requires a “serious, pragmatic response, not the performative politics of the easy answers”.

Starmer needs data of non valid asylum claimers being actually returned, or Reform will gain many seats at the next election
Good. He needs to stand up to Farage and his nonsense.
Based on the illegal migration figures from last year, 1 in every 17 migrants would be returned to France as a result of this agreement.
This is a totally ineffectual deal and will be red meat for Reform, yet again mainstream parties are all talk and no results. They’re also too incompetent to solve this issue, but it’s no mystery why Farage is popular.
More empty rhetoric, just like the election buildup. Let’s hear what the plans are to deal with it genius, before criticising Farage’s ‘easy answers’.
Does anyone actually things would change if the worst happens and Reform get in? If it’s anything like Brexit then the amount of immigration will likely double again and of course reform will lay the blame on Labour for reasons.
Let’s see how it works out. Doubt it will but lets see.
Nigel doesn’t have anything other than barking loud.
‘It’s a problem across all Europe’
Poland appears to be doing all right with their 0 toelrence. He needs to grow a pair, or reform will win the next election.
a 1 in 1 out really isnt the win he thinks it is
Canny move, Sir Kier, pretending to be the Social Democrats. Hopefully the Social Democrats won’t mind. 😅
There is not a single migrant that is crossing the channel in a small boat that is a genuine asylum seeker, given they are coming through multiple safe countries to get here. They should all be returned to france.
Well said
Because he knows he’s the most inept PM the UK has ever had and he’s running scared
Imagine destroying a continent on purpose and then talking about it as if it has nothing to do with you and your friends.
He really is a twat
Something, eventually, has to give. This country can’t afford to house, feed and medicate all of these people arriving here, None of them stopped by any of the countries they’ve already travelled through, because those countries aren’t daft enough to take everyone themselves, when they can usher them all along to the soft touch uk. We have at the very least got to stop and at least formulate a plan. Same goes for foreign aid. This country is borrowing fuck tons of cash to give away to other countries like India. India have their own fucking space program, and we’re giving them money. Fair enough, spread the wealth, but can we at least get our own shit together before getting further and further into debt to give other to countries?
When did this sub reddit get so full of idiot reform voters?
I honesty am scared that idiocracy will be real. I dont want MAGA in this country.
Nob
i swear Keir Starmer is a russian agent.
Guy is talking about results that will never come
People will just come here the same and be a burden for the taxpayer to bare
He’s a fraud. Talks the talk but is a serial non deliverer and he is Farage’s best advertisement.
Rightly so, Farage says he’ll stop the boats but doesn’t say how
Unfortunately many right wingers want quick and easy solutions for everything. It’s very easy to break stuff but much harder to rebuild but will they learn?
In other news the sky is blue
The bell end had literally signed a deal that changes the amount of illegal immigrants coming in by 0.
50 in a week he’s deporting, taking 50 as a trade whilst thousands still come over in boats. It’s a fucking joke.
Some people actually think that Farage isn’t racist. Depressing.
Good.
I’m not actually that bowled over by the France deal, but it’s a start. It is something concrete. And every concrete result like this, Starmer needs to bash it over Farage’s head publicly relentlessly.
Obviously Farage is in government. He can’t enact policy to address it.
But that’s the classic advantage of being an opposition party. You don’t have to do the hard work. You don’t have to worry about the reality. You can just bash the government for its lack of progress and know your supporters will not be thinking about it any more deeply.
So let Starmer mock Farage for spouting shallow rhetoric while he’s busting a gut and making actual progress on it. Turnabout’s fair play!
Every time I see him talk it’s bare faced lies and nonsense spin. I despise this man so much. He represents the final nail in the coffin for the UK.
Double speak.
Said a load of nothing…
“Don’t listen to the obvious answers, keep me on the pay roll”
A bloated system.
