‘Smash the gangs won’t work’: Home Office officials doubt Labour small boats plan

Home Office officials do not believe Labour’s plan to “smash the gangs” will work as a way of bringing down illegal migration to the UK, i can reveal.

They say that civil servants in the department have been “underwhelmed” by the approach that was being outlined again this week by Sir Keir Starmer and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper.

The insiders say “nobody” understands how the much-vaunted Border Security Command – that the Government says will take the lead on combatting people smugglers running small boats – will operate.

i has been told that there is “cynicism” within the department about whether the command will be any more successful than previous units operated under the Conservatives.
