Since the Labour Party led by Sir Keir Starmer took office, over 20,000 migrants have crossed the English Channel in small boats. This number reflects a significant increase in October compared to last year, although it remains below 2022’s record levels. The government faces challenges in addressing irregular migration, a crucial issue for public perception. With 122 arrivals reported on a recent Sunday, the total crossings since July 5 have reached 20,110, highlighting the ongoing migration crisis.
