As Channel crossings rose above 1,000 since Sir Keir Starmer took power, shadow home secretary James Cleverly said: "It's like Christmas has come early for the people smugglers. And the record numbers coming over prove it.
"And they will keep getting worse because Starmer has no desire and no plan to stop the boats."
It comes after Border Force officers picked up 427 people in seven boats on Monday - the highest number in a single day since the General Election.
A total of 1,185 migrants have already arrived since Sir Keir won the keys to No 10 this month.
And Home Secretary Yvette Cooper suggested the numbers would only get worse as she warned of a "difficult summer ahead".
