The prime minister has been accused of coming up with a "knock off" version of the last government's notorious Rwanda scheme.

Police in Britain early Tuesday arrested a 21-year-old man accused of setting fires to three north London residences this month, including a home owned by Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

When Prime Minister Keir Starmer met his long-serving Albanian counterpart Edi Rama today, there was plenty of substance to discuss. Tackling illegal migration was on the agenda, as was the big European Political Community summit taking place in the capital Tirana tomorrow.

Once content to hum along to the liberal chorus of inclusivity and open borders, Labour under Starmer has flipped the record. If the party’s earlier stance on immigration echoed the hopeful tones of Led Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song—a rallying cry for arrival and adventure—Starmer has turned down the volume and remixed the track.

Overseas 'return hubs' will be used to house the migrants once they have exhausted all avenues of appeal in the UK.

Sir Keir Starmer and European leaders will talk about how to ramp up pressure on Russia on Friday, as the Prime Minister said Vladimir Putin must “pay the price for avoiding peace” in Ukraine.
