Davies: MPs not foreign judges should decide who comes to UK

Tories say migration deals ‘won’t work’ as deterrent

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp has argued that migration deals similar to those in Italy will not be effective as a deterrent. His comments follow official figures showing that over 800 migrants crossed the English Channel in the past week. Philp acknowledged that prevention deals could be a “constructive step,” but insisted they would not succeed without a proper deterrent, while defending the previous government's Rwanda deportation plan.
