A lack of resources and poor communication with the French contributed to worst Channel migrant boat disaster
Wednesday, 8 November 2023 An official report into the deaths of at least 27 migrants using a "wholly unsuitable" boat in the English Channel has said the response team in Dover was "insufficient" to react, "foreseeable" problems were not recognised and French and British teams failed to share information properly.
Sir Keir Starmer has discussed plans to grow the economy, help university students and stop small boats crossing the English Channel, with supermarket workers in Wiltshire. Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves joined the Labour leader on the visit, and said, "I know the numbers for inflation came down today, but those higher prices seem to be locked in, and we need to bring some stability back to the economy".
