Channel migrants reaching Britain under Labour top 69,000 as 1,000 arrive in just one week

The number of small boat migrants to have reached Britain since Labour came to power has topped 69,000 after nearly 1,000 arrived in less than a week.

Home Office figures showed 272 migrants came across the Channel yesterday.

It meant 984 reached British soil over six days.

The latest arrivals also pushed the tally under Labour, since the general election in July 2024, to 69,155.

It comes after the head of the UK's Border Security Command quit after failing to stem the surge in crossings.

Martin Hewitt will leave the post of border security commander in a few days’ time after 18 months in the job, it was confirmed last week.

Sir Keir Starmer appointed former senior police officer Mr Hewitt shortly after becoming Prime Minister, tasking him with curbing the number of small boats crossing the Channel.

But last year saw second-highest annual total of people crossing the Channel, with 41,472 arrivals.

Labour’s ‘one in, one out’ deal with the French has also failed to have an impact on the Channel crisis.

According to latest figures, only 377 migrants have been sent back to France under the agreement but 380 have come into Britain under the reciprocal terms of the deal.

They aren’t migrants. They are freeloading scumbags looking for a free ride. We’ve got about 50 million of those worthless knuckledraggers here. All they do for a living is vote for Nazi DemonRATS to win FREE STUFF!!!

Just as in the USA, all of the illegal alien invaders are purposed to dilute the loyalty to the country of the people at large. They will out breed the native population on approximately a 5 to 1 basis factor and in 20 years or so they will vote their own demographic in to Government positions and take control of the country without firing a shot.

They can’t claim they’re refugees when they’re coming from France.
