Number of migra crossing the Channe has doubled under Labour government

Some 32,900 asylum seekers have arrived in small boats this year, prompting fears the annual total could hit 40,000.

A staggering 19,326 landed since Sir Keir Starmer became Prime Minister in July - an average of 150 a day. This compares to an average of 74 per day in the 184 days before the General Election.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: "Labour is failing abysmally to combat the channel crossings.

"They scrapped the Rwanda deterrent before it had even started.

"As a result, since the election crossings are up compared to the four months before and up 15% compared to the to the same period last year.

"We have seen the deterrent effect of a removals plan work i Australia around 10 years ago.

"Even the EU is now looking at offshore processing. Labour needs to urgently reinstate the Rwanda scheme before this gets even worse.

"Starmer is personally responsible for this catastrophe he is the one who cancelled Rwanda."

Analysis by the Express also shows 272 boats crossed the Channel, carrying 13,574 people between January 1 and July 4.

This means an average of 49 migrants were crammed onto each vessel. Since the General Election, this has increased to 55 people per boat under Labour.

Some 209 asylum seekers crossed the Channel on Sunday, taking the yearly total to 32,900. This followed 572 arriving in nine boats on Saturday.
