PM’s bad bet
WHAT are the odds on Keir Starmer’s returns deal with France actually working?
Vanishingly small.
At current rates, just six per cent of the 44,000 illegal migrants who have crossed since Labour took power — about 50 a week — would be sent back.
In gambling terms, anyone lumping £3,000 on being smuggled to Britain would have a near 20-1 ON chance of success.
