in other news, sir keir starmer is seeking a deal with the eu's law enforcement agency, europol, foreople across the channel in small boats. the labour leader says traffickers should be treated like terrorists. but the prime minister said a possible deal with brussels could result in the uk accepting thousands of migrants every year. here's our home editor, mark easton. in the last week, almost 1500 migrants arrived in the uk having crossed the channel, more than 23,000 now this year. today labour revealed its plan to stop the boats if they win the next election. the hague in holland was selected as the place for sir keir starmer to launch his policy, a carefully constructed picture opportunity to project the labour leader as a statesman ready, as he puts it, to lead europe's efforts on smashing the smuggling gangs. this is a vile trade and that is why i am here at europol saying, how can we have a better agreement to share intelligence, have joint operations and take these gangs down? europol is an eu policing body which britain left after brexit but labour now wants to negotiate a

arrangement with europol.s will be able to work faster and more closely with europol officers in ourfight against the transnational smuggling gangs that are operating. 0f against the transnational smuggling gangs that are operating. of course, there will be those who voted for brexit who fear this may be a sign that labour is prepared to betray the results of that referendum and is looking to have a much closer relationship with the european all around. equally there will be people in his own party and outside who will be hoping perhaps this is a sign that labour will want to rejoin the eu at some stage, sir keir starmer says it is neither of those. mark easton, for now, thank you. payments made with cash have risen for the first time in a decade in this country. though new figures from the banking trade body uk finance show that we are still most likely to pay for things using a debit card. 0ur cost of living correspondent kevin peachey is with me. so is cash farfrom dead? cashis cash is no longer king, but i

this is a vile trade, and that's why i'm here at europol saying how can we have a better agreement to brexit, but labour now wants to negotiate a new agreement giving british police faster and greater access to europol�*s real—time data bases and intelligence. labour believes that securing britain's borders requires a closer, not more distant, relationship with europe. for instance, a new party pledge to end the use of hotels for asylum—seekers, some reckon, would require a deal with the eu that would mean britain had to accept 100,000 more migrants. i don't think it's credible that he really wants to grip this problem, and his plans today seem to amount to saying that we might one day accept up to 100,000 eu migrants every year. that doesn't seem like a credible plan to me to stop the boats. yeah, but that's nonsense. that is embarrassing nonsense from the government, and they know it. if they hadn't lost control of the borders, some of what they say might have some credibility. but i think if you look at the last few years, almost every decision they've taken on this issue has led t

this is a vile trade and that's why i'm here at europol saying how can we have a better agreement tongs down? europol is an eu policing body which britain left after brexit, but labour now wants to negotiate a new agreement, giving british police faster and greater access to europol�*s real time data bases and intelligence. labour believes that securing britain's borders requires a closer, not more distant relationship with europe, for instance. with europe, for instance, a new party pledge to end the use of hotels for asylum seekers, some reckon would require a deal with the eu that would mean britain had to accept 100,000 more migrants. i don't think it is credible that he really wants to grip this problem and his plans today seem to amount to saying that we might one day accept up to 100,000 eu migrants every year. that does not seem like a credible plan to me to stop the boats. yeah, but that's nonsense. that is embarrassing nonsense from the government and they know it. if they hadn't lost control of the borders, some of what they say might have some credibility. but i think if

this past week have been - this past week have been interesting, he has been in the hague to talk to europolthe channel, he has been to talk to centre—left leaders and now paris. is this trying to shift public opinion about keir starmer to make him look more like a prime minister than the leader of an opposition? i don't think he has tried to come back from these trips with concrete policy proposals. it wouldn't be possible to nail those down in these types of meetings, because as you are saying, protocol dictates that business should be discussed with the government of the day. so it has to be primarily red as pr and that notion of being prime ministerial can matter. if we look at the polls, he is about ten points ahead of rishi sunak in terms of his voters would make the better prime minister. i think he is trying to nail that down, this image of him as a serious state person. qm. nail that down, this image of him as a serious state person.— a serious state person. 0k, thank ou ve a serious state person. 0k, thank you very much — a serious state person. 0k, thank you very much indeed. _ a

he has in fact been trotting around with europol, the european agency for law enforcement , to discussaw enforcement, to discuss his plans to tackle migrants smugglers. but amidst all of this, his proposed new plan for tackling the migrant crisis has emerged. and it includes brilliantly letting in more migrants. the deal will see closer cooperation with the european union , and in exchange european union, and in exchange for a returns policy for those who cross the channel illegally, britain take share of britain would take a share of migrants who enter the european union. estimated this share union. it's estimated this share would be 120,000, more than double those who come over in small boats . he also intends to small boats. he also intends to scrap the rwanda plan. but there are so many problems with his proposal. first and foremost, it's worse than the status quo. it seems sir keir has misunderstood the electorate's concerns about the migrant crisis . it's not so much that crisis. it's not so much that people mind the mode of transport in this case via the channel and more that pe

sir keir starmer travelled to europol in the hague to announce that if he were in office, britain wouldy money to europe and consent to share some of the european union's immigration burden. in return for an agreement that some illegal immigrants could be sent back across the channel. does the policy of either political party convince the public? i'll ask my panel. following the tragic moroccan earthquake and the libyan floods earlier this week, i'll be discussing with dr. sharon dix whether god has a part to play. when we're faced with a natural disaster. pension ers feel threatened, as millions could receive a smaller than expected increase in their state pensions after next year, as both rishi sunak and sir keir starmer refused to guarantee the level of annual increases known as the triple lock. i'll speak to the former chief economist for the department of work and pensions, jonathan portis . turning to jonathan portis. turning to culture, sir nicholas kenyon will be here to give his perspective as
