asylum seekers to be 'moved from hotels to military barracks' under new starmer plan

Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister Darren Jones earlier denied that the Government was in crisis and insisted Sir Keir now has the ‘strongest team’ in place around the Cabinet table following Ms Rayner’s departure.

He rejected the idea Ms Cooper had been moved out of the Home Office because she was failing to control immigration,adding she would be ‘brilliant’ in her new role as the UK’s top diplomat.

Announcing the deportation scheme with France,Keir Starmer said it was ‘the product of months of grown-up diplomacy’ to ‘strike at the heart of these vile gangs’ business model’.

Meanwhile,Reform has been taking inspiration from Donald Trump’s Alligator Alcatraz.

Speaking on Sky News,Zia Yusuf said: ‘President Trump stood up 3,000 detention beds in eight days. That was this year in the state of Florida – using steel modular structures.’

When presenter Trevor Phillips asked: ‘Shipping containers?”,Mr Yusuf replied: “They’re not shipping containers,they’re purpose-built modular steel structures.”
