UK to Introduce World-First Sanctions Regime Targeting People Smugglers with Financial Sanctions Under Keir Starmer's Plan
Jan 9, 2025, 12:59 AM

This initiative, spearheaded by Labour leader Keir Starmer, is part of a broader strategy to 'smash the gangs' that facilitate irregular entry of asylum seekers into the country.

This plan represents a world-first approach to tackling the issue of people trafficking in the UK.
