A single people-smuggling network has transported more migrants from the UK to France than Sir Keir Starmer ever has.
Ringleader Madjid Belabes, 53, worked with a group of Algerian drivers to move migrants out of Britain hidden in the backs of lorries.
They are believed to have moved around 243 people across the Channel in under a year – nearly 100 more than the 153 sent back to France under Labour’s “one-in, one-out” agreement.
The group carried out 26 smuggling trips between December 2022 and September 2023.
All of them had originally entered the UK legally on visitor visas.
Talk’s Ian Collins is joined by former head of Border Force, Tony Smith, to discuss.
