600 Migrants Cross English Channel, Surpassing 40K Mark
Update: 2025-12-14
Description
Yesterday, a significant surge in migrant crossings occurred in the English Channel, with at least six hundred individuals successfully reaching the UK. This influx challenges recent claims of effective management by the Labour party. Improved weather conditions allowed smugglers to launch multiple inflatable boats from France, carrying hundreds of migrants. This was the first wave of crossings in twenty-eight days, and if the trend continues, the total number of small boat crossings this year could exceed forty thousand. The surge triggered an indigo alert, deploying multiple Border Force vessels. Despite a recent lull in crossings, officials and local fishermen attribute this to weather conditions, not policy changes.
