In a move to address the ongoing small boats crisis and reform the immigration system, the Labour Party has pledged to establish temporary “Nightingale courts” aimed at expediting asylum decisions. This announcement comes as Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer continues to advocate for a comprehensive solution to the issue while navigating criticism from various quarters.

Sir Keir’s recent visit to The Hague in the Netherlands served as a platform to promote his party’s approach to the small boats crisis, emphasising the need to “take control” of the situation.
