Keir Starmer accused of failing in his mission to 'smash the gangs'.

Keir Starmer was last night accused of failing in his mission to ‘smash the gangs’.

Figures show that just a tiny fraction of migrants crossing the Channel are being brought to justice.

Since Labour’s leader became Prime Minister last July, only 446 people have been charged with any immigration offence, figures published by Parliament have revealed.

Over the same period, a record 43,309 migrants have reached Britain after crossing the Channel in more than 700 dinghies.

This comes despite Sir Keir vowing to tackle the illegal migration crisis by scrapping Rwanda deportations and focusing on tougher law enforcement instead.
