The Liberal Democrats are pushing the UK to join the EU’s new Migration and Asylum Pact to crack down on small boat crossings, arguing it would shut down criminal gangs by forcing asylum seekers back to their first EU entry point. Labour counters with its own successes—stopping 47,000 crossings and removing 70,000 people—and highlights a 43% drop in arrivals this year. The EU pact, nearly a decade in development, requires member states to either accept migrants or pay, and while the UK would need to take some asylum seekers, Lib Dems say numbers would be low and pre-screened—with potential savings for taxpayers.
