The cabinet official is expected to deliver the warning at a summit with Balkan interior ministers in London on Wednesday, which will be focused on curbing migrant flows to the UK.
According to the excerpts of her planned speech, which has already been published by several UK outlets, Mahmood will point out:
"The public rightly expect that their government will be able to determine who enters their country and who must leave. Today, in this country, that is not the case. The failure to bring order to our borders is eroding trust not just in us as political leaders... but in the credibility of the state itself."Still, Mahmood stresses that the only way to rectify the issue is international cooperation, not "turn[ing] inwards," with one way being the creation of "return hubs" for migrants.
On Tuesday, she announced that the government would raise the English-language requirement for migrants from a General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) to A-level proficiency.
Comment: Good one. They will be leaving in droves, warning their friends...
The UK has for years been reeling under the migration crisis, with government data showing 49,000 irregular arrivals in the year ending June 2025, up 27% from the similar period the previous year. Small-boat crossings accounted for 88% of these, up 38% year on year.
Amid what many see as the Labour government's failure to resolve the crisis, large demonstrations were held across Britain last month as part of "Operation Raise the Colours," with protesters waving St. George's and Union Jack flags.
Meanwhile, support for the anti-immigration and EU-skeptical Reform party, led by MP Nigel Farage, has risen to 35%, with Labour and the Conservatives trailing behind at 20% and 17% respectively, according to a poll conducted by the BMG research company which was released last month.
Comment: Incompetence in solving a critical public issue is a boon to competing political parties. Farage will surely use it.

Fuck off Shazaam or whatever your fucking name is.
It seems an island border should be rudimentary to police.
Is this where narcolepsy comes from? Is it an epidemic there?
Im confused.
These small boats that come to Blighty should stay in Blighty once they are here, but instead they are returned to pick up more Soros sponsored passengers.
Our present representatives have abandoned the wishes of the people of Blighty, as they did during the 'covid' years. Our sorry lot of present politicians in Blighty are either stupid, corrupt, or complicit, maybe all three. The people meanwhile are getting fed up with being pushed around by successive NWO lackies who have been placed into positions of power.
It is a long article but search for the section 'Orbital Authority Over Refugees'. In summary, the refugees/migrants/(people escaping "climate change") are to be ultimately a slave workforce(along with regular people including SOTT commentors) in new technocrat City-States run by Oligarchs the world over. I was amazed to see how many already exist designed by tech bros and other upper crusty billionaires etc. ( https://www.forbes.com/real-time-billionaires/#7290f493d788) the world over: [Link]
