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.
He emphasised the importance of a strong deterrent, such as the Conservatives' Rwanda plan, in preventing small boat crossings in the English Channel.

Senior Tory MP Sir David Davis has said that "new medical evidence" analysed by a medical expert panel could provide a "completely alternative explanation" for the death of seven babies. This comes as retired medic Dr Shoo Lee, who co-authored a 1989 academic paper on air embolism in babies – which featured prominently in Lucy Letby’s 10-month trial, chaired a panel of 14 experts who compiled an “impartial evidence-based report”, which casts doubt on some of the medical evidence used in the trial.
