Daily Dazzling Dawn understand, two more deportation flights have broken previous records since the election, expelling hundreds of illegal immigrants.With the arrest of the so-called "Engine King," Keir Starmer celebrated a significant win in his campaign against filthy people smuggling organizations. Smugglers are believed to have received hundreds of boat motors from a Turkish guy who was arrested in Amsterdam on Wednesday. He has reportedly been extradited to Belgium to face charges.The arrest is an important blow against the gangs and their supply chains, and is being seen as a “proof of concept” for the effort to target major figures across Europe suspected of being behind the trade.

Labour can now boast to have organised the three biggest returns flights in UK history - with 629 people removed on these flights alone.And it’s understood more flights are planned before the end of the year - to new countries the UK hasn’t previously charted flights to.

Altogether, more than 25 bespoke returns flights have taken place since July 5th, returning individuals to a range of countries including Albania, Poland, Romania and Vietnam, plus the first ever charter to Timor-Leste, and the biggest ever returns flight to Nigeria and Ghana.A Labour source described the state of Britain’s asylum and immigration system as an “utter disaster” when Keir Starmer took office.

“We were told it was going to be the worst year ever for small boat arrivals, and that we’d have to spend billions more to cope with the asylum backlog, including opening more than a hundred new hotels,” they said.

“All while they’d poured £700 million down the drain on a Rwanda scheme that didn’t stop a single boat or deport a single asylum seeker.”

The Home Office was warned in July that total arrivals across the channel would probably rise above 50,000 for the first time in 2024. Meanwhile the asylum backlog shot up in the final months of the Tory government.

In May and June, fewer than 100 asylum decisions were taken each day, despite migrants arriving in record numbers.
