Prime Minister Andy Burnham said he would be 'relentless' in addressing the issue of small boat crossings, following a visit to Border Force in Dover. 'Rather than play politics with the issue, we will just deal with it head on, grip it,' he said.
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham struck a firm tone on immigration Monday, vowing a 'relentless' approach to small boat crossings after a visit to Border Force in Dover. The statement is his first major policy pronouncement on the issue since taking office in July. As The Zioneer has reported, Burnham's early tenure has focused on foreign policy, including authorizing continued US use of British bases for operations against Iran, and constitutional reform. The small boats crisis, a persistent challenge for previous governments, now tests his domestic agenda.
