Rishi insists he’s leaving ‘no stone unturned to stop boats’ ahead of speech as he faces pressure over illegal migration | The Sun

RISHI Sunak today vowed to leave "no stone unturned" in the battle to finally end illegal migration.

The PM will make a major speech in Dover this morning, where he'll update the public on his mission to stop the boats.


Ahead of the event, Mr Sunak pledged: "Illegal migration is fundamentally unfair.

"That's why I’m leaving no stone unturned to stop the boats.

"This morning, I’ll update you on the progress we're making from Dover."

The PM is under huge pressure to put an end to the thousands of dinghies that land on Britain's shores, packed full with illegal migrants.

In the first four months of the year 5,000 migrants arrived in Kent by boat.

The numbers are an improvement on the 6,300 people who arrived in the same period last year.

But the stats have heaped further demand on the PM to finally end the illegal migration farce.

During a visit to Somerset, Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer described the PM's pledge to tackle small boat crossings as being "like Groundhog Day".

He said: "I think everybody wants to make sure that we stop the boats, we don't want people making that dangerous journey.

"All we've really had from the Government though is the announcement of a policy that doesn't work and then the reannouncement of the same policy, essentially."

This year Mr Sunak announced the flagship Illegal Migration Bill as a key mechanism to stop the boats.

The Bill will see only under-18s and the genuinely sick will be allowed to apply for asylum in the UK.

While they wait, holiday parks, student digs, military accommodation and even cruise ships will be used to house migrants instead of expensive four and five-star hotels.

A giant migrant barge – the Bibby Stockholm – has already arrived in Britain and is currently being prepared to onboard hundreds on new residents.

All other arrivals will be deported home or to a safe third-country like Rwanda.
