Keir Starmer and several top Labour figures were noticeably absent from a key vote on their flagship immigration plan, and it hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Records show the Prime Minister, along with Chancellor Rachel Reeves, Deputy PM Angela Rayner, and Foreign Secretary David Lammy, all skipped the vote on Labour’s Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill. The plan includes counter-terror-style powers aimed at cracking down on people smugglers and stopping small boats crossing the Channel, reported the Express.
