He said cooperation with Albania had led to a "significant" drop in crossings and stressed the success of their joint migration task force and prisoner return deal. Report by Covellm.

00:00I think his visit to Albania today is simply a performance designed to distract attention from
00:05the fact Keir Starmer has completely lost control of our borders. This year alone, 2025, has been
00:11the worst in history for illegal immigrants crossing the English Channel. Look, the truth
00:16is we already have a returns agreement with Albania, which means the number of Albanians
00:20crossing has gone down by 90 percent. That was under the last Conservative government. We already
00:25have good law enforcement cooperation, so this is pure performance designed to distract attention
00:29from his appalling performance as Prime Minister.
