There's a solution to the migrant crisis that Keir Starmer is not willing to do and that's to deport, says Patrick Christys

The Ministry of Justice has announced that the fees paid to lawyers to represent migrants fighting to stay in Britain will go up by 30 per cent.

This will cost the taxpayer £61million, up from £47million.

They say they need to do this to help clear the 90,000-strong backlog of asylum claims. Anyone want to guess how many of those 90,000 will be deported?

The only reason they're in this mess is because they scrapped the Tory policy that nobody who arrived in Britain illegally could claim asylum.

And today, utter humiliation for the Prime Minister. Yvette Cooper said the French were going to stop the boats in the water.

Then we got the news that Sir Keir Starmer was planning on announcing a 'one-in, one-out' migrant deal with France when President Emmanuel Macron arrives in the UK tomorrow.

Starmer rolled out the red carpet. We've got British and French flags lining the Mall up to Buckingham Palace. The Prime Minister's been all over Macron when they've met up.

Sir Keir Starmer let the French plunder British fishing waters for 12 more years, and didn't say anything when, just a few days later, the French impounded a British fishing vessel they claim was fishing illegally.

This 'one-in, one-out' deal is big. It's the thing that'll help Sir Keir Starmer finally smash the gangs.

And then today, EU nations are blocking it! Italy, Spain, Greece, Malta and Cyprus have expressed “serious concerns” over the migrant deal!

So they'll try to block it, Emmanuel Macron will side with the EU and poof, there goes another attempt by Sir Keir Starmer to stop the invasion of Britain in the Channel.

There is a solution, Sir Keir, but one that you're unwilling to do. Deport, deport, deport.
