'[..] Keir Starmer has suggested that the #UK should look to European – specifically Italian – approaches towards tackling the source of migration flows. However, while #Italy can claim to have reduced overall sea crossings to its territory, its engagement in #Libya offers a cautionary tale.'

A political, as well as a criminal justice based approach, is required for an effective UK policy.
