Labour Party has announced plans to launch a Border Security Command within the first 100 days if elected. Yvette Cooper, Shadow Home Secretary, emphasized that the new command would address criminal smuggler gangs undermining UK border security. Cooper also highlighted the shoplifting epidemic, likening it to a 'supermarket sweep.' Additionally, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer pledged a 100-day 'sprint review' of national security threats, drawing from Tony Blair's post-9/11 counter-terrorism strategy. This review aims to identify major threats facing Britain by involving MI5, the police, and the civil service. Shadow Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson reiterated that a Labour government would do everything within its power to keep the country safe. Starmer is set to deliver his first major campaign speech focusing on security.
