Tom Keatinge comments on the introduction of irregular migration sanctions

'The introduction of sanctions on those profiting from irregular migration reflects the continued innovation of sanctions use by the Labour government.'

'Targeting fixers and infrastructure suppliers aims to make them untouchable in the irregular migration business and represents a new front in the UK’s efforts to control a business model that brings profit to the enablers and misery to those caught up in this crime.'

'However, I would caution against overpromising. History suggests that such assertions hold governments hostage to fortune.'
