How many migrants crossed the Channel yesterday? Dozens more make small boat journey as 2025 total passes 40k

Dozens more migrants have crossed the Channel in small boats as the total number of people making the dangerous journey this year passes 40,100.

There were 74 arrivals in one boat recorded by the Home Office on Tuesday, December 16. It means that in 2025 so far 40,155 people have made the perilous crossing.

The last time more than 40,000 migrants crossed the Channel was in 2022 when 45,755 were recorded arriving in the UK.

The total for 2023 was 29,347, while 36,816 crossed last year.

It comes after 732 people came to Britain in 11 small boats on Saturday with a further 52 landing in the UK on Sunday.

The weekend arrivals put an end to 28 days without crossings as bad weather prevented boats setting off from France.

That period without migrant boats was the longest uninterrupted run since 2018.

Home Office efforts to tackle small boat crossings have been ramped up in recent months.

Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy met ministers from other European nations earlier this month to discuss reforms to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) that would make it easier to deport illegal migrants.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood in November announced a raft of immigration changes, which included making refugee status in the UK temporary and subject to review every 30 months.

Sink the boats or burn them upon arrival.

Send invaders home.

The Liberals are delivering the kill shot to England and it is sad to watch.

The fact that they are still allowing this after the disaster it created proves this is being done on purpose.

We bailed out England twice.

We are not going to do it for the third time.

Like the rats here, Labour is in a race to get enough replacement voters in the country to stay in power. Thousands of raped British girls and a country sent into economic ruin be damned.

They continue to use the term, small boats, but a vessel that can carry 100 passengers is not small.
