PM pledges rethink on law to stop ‘Farage boats’
Western Mail
|October 02, 2025
KEIR Starmer has vowed to “look at” how UK courts apply human rights law on asylum cases, as he dubbed the small boats he is trying to stop crossing the English Channel “Farage boats”.
-
The Prime Minister said international laws, such as the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), would not be “torn down” by the UK Government, but their legal interpretations would be reviewed in an effort to curb asylum claims. Sir Keir stepped up his attacks on Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, who wants to exit the ECHR and other international treaties.
