SIR Keir Starmer is one boat away from claiming Britain’s worst-ever small boats record.

New figures show 65,703 migrants have arrived on his watch in just 19 months.

That puts him within touching distance of Boris Johnson’s 65,811 tally, which took the ex-PM three years to reach.

Crossings in 2025 alone hit 41,474, with another 23,242 pouring in as Labour took power.

Monday’s crossing saw 56 migrants reach Britain – the first arrival since January 19, when 275 made the journey.

Only 933 crossed last month, the lowest January figure in five years, but Storm Chandra and brutal winter seas are believed to be the main reason numbers briefly dipped.

The Tories slammed Sir Keir for having “no control of our borders”, with Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp saying: “He cancelled the Rwanda deportation plan just before it was due to start and the number of illegal immigrants crossing the channel has surged since.

That’s an important point. The Tories are supposed to be conservative. But they really are just a light version of Labour.

Reform does seem to be different. But the next UK election probably won’t be until August of 2029. Entire countries have been destroyed in less time.

Britain voted for Brexit so they wouldn’t have to put up with this crap.

Then they voted for Leftist idiots to rule them.

They expected Leftist to be honest with them.

Fools.

The Tories are nicer. And more laid back. I think that's about it.

Other than that, they're the same.
