The Independent highlights its commitment to providing quality journalism on pressing issues, such as reproductive rights and climate change, without paywalls. Challenging the insurmountable topics of the day, the publication underlines the importance of investigative reporting. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer recently attributed the surge of migrants crossing the English Channel to poor coordination between U.K. police and intelligence services. During an international meeting aimed at enhancing border security, Starmer noted the fragmentation within law enforcement agencies as a significant barrier to effectively combatting people smuggling.
At an international meeting on boosting border security and tackling people-smuggling, Starmer expressed frustration at the difficulty of stopping thousands of people a year risking the dangerous sea crossing from France.
We inherited this total fragmentation between our policing, our Border Force and our intelligence agencies, Starmer said as officials from more than 40 countries met in London.
