Sir Keir Starmer told MPs he has prosecuted more people smugglers than the prime minister has had helicopter rides, adding “and that is a lot”. The heated exchange took place during a discussion on the deportation of dangerous criminals during Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday (20 March). Mr Sunak told MPS: “If it was up to him [Starmer] those criminals would still be out on our streets, and the truth is, if he wasn’t the Labour leader he would still want to be their lawyer.” Sir Keir responded: “I’ve prosecuted more people smugglers than he’s had helicopter rides and that’s a lot.”
