British PM Rishi Sunak accused Labour leader Keir Starmer of lacking a strategy to address the migrant crisis, suggesting that illegal migrants in Calais are waiting for a Labour government to ease their entry into the UK. Sunak emphasized that a Labour victory would end current migration controls, including the Rwanda relocation policy. The UK has recorded 12,901 Channel migrants in 2024’s first half, a new high. Sunak argued this demonstrates the need for stringent policies, while Starmer warned the asylum backlog could double if Conservatives remain in power.
