Germany to close loophole that let human smugglers stash boats there, UK says
Germany will close a legal loophole that enabled human traffickers to store the small boats they use to cross the English Channel as part of a broader German-British deal to tackle people-smuggling, the British interior ministry said. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, elected to office in July, has prioritised cracking down on illegal migration by combatting gangs of people smugglers. In September he reached a deal with his Italian counterpart, Giorgia Meloni, to share intelligence and work more closely together to "smash" the gangs, while his government has more recently reached a security pact with Iraq to target such gangs and strengthen border co-operation.

Britain's finance ministry said it would ask government departments to cut waste, including spending that does not align with policy priorities, as Prime Minister Keir Starmer seeks to overhaul how the public sector works. The Treasury said in a statement that every pound the government spends would be subjected to a line-by-line review to ensure it was being spent on delivering the agenda that Starmer set out last week, and giving value for money. The last time government departments were asked to undertake a so-called 'zero-based review' of public spending was 17 years ago, it said.
