PM open to sending migrants to Albania
Sunday Express
|September 15, 2024
SIR Keir Starmer has admitted that he is open to sending migrants to Albania to have their asylum claims processed.

Arrivals in Italy have fallen by 62 per cent after Ms Meloni launched a crackdown on migrants crossing the Mediterranean.
She has struck deals with Libya and Tunisia to stop boats leaving northern Africa and controversially banned charity ships from picking up asylum seekers from more than one boat at a time.
Sir Keir said ahead of the meeting: “We’ll be able to talk about irregular migration, and other things as well.
