Govt announces plans to sanction smuggling gangs

Foreign Secretary David Lammy announces new sanctions to target the finances of people smuggling gangs.

The planned measures are intended to disrupt the flow of money and make it harder for ringleaders to profit from the deadly trade.

Lammy says, "together we can strengthen borders, smash the gangs and get those with no right to be here to return to their countries".

Govt backs Heathrow expansion to boost economic growth

The Government will back a third runway at Heathrow Airport as it looks to go “further and faster” on growth, the chancellor has announced. In a speech in Oxfordshire on growth, Rachel Reeves said the west London airport’s expansion is “badly needed” because “for decades its growth has been constrained”. Reeves stated that a third runway could increase potential GDP by 0.43% by 2050 and create more than 100,000 jobs. Heathrow’s plan to build a third runway received parliamentary approval in June 2018, but has been delayed by legal challenges and the coronavirus pandemic. Report by Faragt.
