Philp dismisses new migration powers as 'laughable'
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp has dismissed the government's proposed powers to address illegal immigration as "laughable", claiming they will have no impact.

"I would like to see the police concentrating on actual criminality rather than policing thought and the police should only pay attention to things that are not criminal if there is a real and imminent danger and escalation of behaviour," he said.
