Politics LIVE: Starmer pledges migration clamp down in Reform fight | Politics | News


Migration and Ukraine will be the โ€œtwo dominant issuesโ€ as European leaders meet on Thursday, Sir Keir Starmer has said.

As he arrived at the European Political Community (EPC), the Prime Minister told reporters: โ€œWeโ€™re certainly discussing illegal migration and looking at what further options we can take together.

โ€œObviously, Iโ€™ve always argued that working with other countries is always a stronger response. So weโ€™re looking at a number of options there.

โ€œThereโ€™s a big appetite for it, a number of countries wanting to work with us on what more we can do. So, weโ€™ll be looking at that.

โ€œThere is also, then, obviously, the question of Ukraine and how we put in more support for Ukraine, put pressure on Putin.

โ€œSo, itโ€™ll really be migration and Ukraine will be the two dominant issues in the discussions today.โ€
