The British government has taken strong steps to address the issue of boat migrants arriving from France, including recruiting 100 new officers to the National Crime Agency and increasing detention capacity and sanctions for employers. These measures come after the Labour party's victory in the July 4 election, where stopping small boat arrivals was a key issue. This is in contrast to the previous Conservative government's controversial plan to deport illegal migrants to Rwanda, which was scrapped by new Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
In the midst of a closely watched British general election, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of the Conservative Party conceded to Labour Party's Keir Starmer on Friday. In a moving acceptance speech, Sunak recognized the "sobering verdict" delivered by the British people and expressed his gratitude to his constituents. Meanwhile, Starmer declared victory and promised change for the future of the United Kingdom.
