Sir Keir Starmer has called for more migrant return deals to be agreed by the government and he criticised the Tories for having "no real plan".
The Labour leader's intervention came just ahead of a speech from Rishi Sunak on the issue.
During a visit to Somerset, Sir Keir said: "A deal with Albania is, of course, progress but we need many more returns agreements.
"Because at the moment the government has baked in a problem, which is because they haven't got returns agreements with other countries, because they're not tackling this upstream with cross-border criminal activity being absolutely dealt with and because they are not processing the claims quickly enough, they are building an ever-growing problem."
