More small boat migrants come to Britain under Starmer than any other PM: Report

  • More small-boat migrants have arrived under Sir Keir Starmer than any other Prime Minister since the crisis began, with a total of 65,922 illegal Channel crossings recorded.
  • A total of 1,114 dinghies have crossed the Channel under Labour, averaging 59 illegal migrants per boat, while vessels now carry nearly twice as many people as under Boris Johnson.
  • Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp warned that numbers will keep climbing unless Britain exits the European Court of Human Rights, saying, 'Keir Starmer has thrown open the border and rolled out the welcome mat for illegal immigrants.'
  • A Home Office spokesperson stated that they have stopped 40,000 crossing attempts and removed or deported almost 60,000 people who were in the UK illegally.
