'PM can’t even be bothered to vote for his own border Bill'
Scottish Daily Express
|May 16, 2025
THE Prime Minister failed to vote for his own plan to end the Channel migrant crisis, the Daily Express can reveal.
Sir Keir Starmer, Chancellor Rachel Reeves, Deputy PM Angela Rayner and Foreign Secretary David Lammy were all absent from a crunch vote to introduce counterterrorism-style powers to hunt people smugglers and stop small boat crossings.
Voting records reveal almost one in four Labour MPs dodged the vote for the Government's Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill.
Some 94 Labour politicians did not vote for the Government plans, including Sir Keir, Ms Rayner, Mr Lammy and 12 other members of the Cabinet.
