Keir Starmer has expressed a willingness to consider offshoring asylum seekers to Albania, similar to Italy's controversial agreement. This comes as he prepares to visit Rome for discussions with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Human rights organizations have criticized Italy's arrangement with Albania, likening it to the contentious Rwanda scheme, which has faced significant backlash. Despite these concerns, Starmer's openness to adopting a similar approach has raised eyebrows, particularly among advocates for asylum seekers' rights. As the political landscape around immigration continues to evolve, Starmer's potential endorsement of such measures reflects ongoing debates about how best to manage asylum processes in the UK.
