Keir Starmer’s promise to ‘smash the gangs’ of people smugglers has made no notable dent on the small-boats emergency. Meanwhile, deportations of illegal migrants – including those who have committed serious crimes – are routinely blocked in the courts. Here, Tony Smith – former head of the UK Border Force, now managing director at Fortinus Global – explains how Britain lost control of its borders. Human-rights law and international conventions, Tony argues, have been weaponised by an activist judiciary. The result is an asylum policy that no one voted for and that benefits criminals over the genuinely deserving.

Gawain Towler, Tom Slater and Fraser Myers discuss the local elections, Tony Blair’s turn against Net Zero and the censorious panic over Kneecap.

Graham Linehan, Tom Slater and Fraser Myers discuss Keir Starmer’s slipperiness on the trans issue, non-crime hate incidents and St George Was Turkish Day.
