Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has announced an additional £75 million to strengthen efforts against people-smuggling gangs, bringing total funding for the UK’s Border Security Command to £150 million. Speaking at the Interpol general assembly in Glasgow, he emphasized the urgent need for a comprehensive approach to border security, likening the issue to international crime. Starmer plans to enhance collaboration between policing and intelligence agencies, creating over 400 new roles within the National Crime Agency and boosting technological capabilities to tackle trafficking networks. His strategy aims to provide both immediate security and long-term solutions.
