Small Boat Crossings in the English Channel Surpass 20,000 Under Labour Government
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.
