Petition Action

Declare a national emergency on border security to stop small boat crossings

Petition Details

The UK is a small island nation facing threats amid escalating wars and global tensions. Sky News warns the UK is vulnerable to missile & drone attacks. Yet small boat arrivals continue without verified identity, creating serious security risks. Emergency action is needed to secure our borders NOW.

Additional Information

The UK is a small island nation and must be able to control who enters its borders. Ongoing small boat crossings raise concerns about border security and place pressure on public services and border systems. Recent reports have also highlighted wider national security risks. Stronger border control measures are needed to ensure proper identity checks, protect national security, and restore public confidence in the system. Effective border control is essential for public and national safety.
