Rishi Sunak is under intense pressure to do more to tackle the small boats crisis following the “appalling and preventable” tragedy which saw the deaths of six people when a vessel sank off the coast of France.
Fresh calls for action come as it emerged that another 509 people crossed the English Channel in 10 small boats on Saturday, despite the perilous crossing, bringing the total for the year so far to 16,679.
Senior Conservatives joined Labour in attacking “dysfunctional” Home Office for failing to tackle the “out of control” asylum system – but some Tory MPs appeared to blame the French for Saturday’s tragic deaths.
Tim Loughton, a senior figure on the home affairs select committee, more needed to be done by both the Home Office and the French authorities.
“Without the French actually intercepting and detaining those boats, then we have a problem stopping that,” he told Times Radio. He suggested if the French intervened “it would stop this whole vile trade absolutely overnight”, adding: “What will it take for the French to agree to do that?”

Fewer Africans in Europe isn’t a tragedy, it’s a good start.
Send them back, all of them.
Western civilization being invaded and destoyed is not newsworthy. The deaths of the invaders, however, is.
They should send in the RAF to bomb those boats.
The Camp of the Saints.
Sink the boats, or turn over the kingdom.
There’s no in between.
Sink the boats.
Labour *wants* the invasion to continue. That’s literally boatloads of new Labour voters getting lost at sea.
Where’s the beef?
Perhaps they could follow Texas’ lead and put razor wired buoys and small mines in the Channel or send the Royal Navy out to turn them around or sink the invading crafts. And if Brussels or the commie UN bitches, send out the Royal Air Force and shut those leftard bureaucrats up for good.
It’s worth noting that the current UK government is “conservative”. Labor will probably win the next election, which must be held by January 2025 at the latest.
So if you think illegal immigration is bad now, just wait until Labor takes over.
The French are taunting them.
And Tories want the cheap labor.
It’s just like here. The names are different.
Have them sink closer to their departure point.
WOW! A whole article and comments and not one mention of “migrants.” We’re getting netter!
Lefties will scream and shriek that it's racist. But it isn't racist if it's true, is it?
Enoch Powell was right.
Scott Adams is right.
Sink the damn boats; alert the sharks.
Precisely.
You nailed it.
Torpedo practice is what is needed. Just off the coastline of Africa.
