In another bumpy start to 2026 for Starmer, the first flight of the year to deport illegal migrants under the ‘one in, one out’ scheme has been cancelled. Detainees who were meant to be deported this morning were told they had their tickets cancelled. One of whom told The Guardian:
“I came on a boat with 80 people onboard. Ten of us were detained and 70 were taken to hotels because their asylum claims will be processed here. That’s not fair. I was delighted when our tickets were cancelled but the guards would not tell us the reason. When I asked a guard he said: ‘We can’t tell you why.’”
‘Turning the corner’…
Speaking about the Metropolitan Police, Nigel Farage told a press conference in London:
“Giuliani didn’t abolish the NYPD. He changed the leadership. He put those into positions of authority that shared his vision of the broken windows theory of dealing with crime from the bottom up. That’s what you have to do. So, I would suggest that rather than scrapping it, we need to find the right people in the right position.”
