Starmer opens the door to Albania immigration scheme to replace Rwanda
The TelegraphItaly has managed to drive down migrant numbers thanks to financial deals with the Tunisian and Libyan governments. Sir Keir added: “Irregular migration will be a feature as it was a feature when I spoke to chancellor Scholz; as it was a feature when I spoke to Emmanuel Macron. Obviously with Macron it was very much about what to do on the northern coast of France.” Sir Keir previously pledged £84 million in foreign aid back in the summer to help stop irregular migration at source because of conflict, climate change and extreme poverty. Migration was the focus of the conference, which was held by Britain at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, with Sir Keir describing the issue of migrants crossing the Mediterranean and the Channel as “a crisis”. The investment over the next three years, includes funding for projects to improve education and employment opportunities along with building resilience to shocks, including conflict, in a bid to encourage people to remain in their homes rather than travelling to Europe.
