Almost 700 migrants cross Channel in 48 hours as 'summer of chaos' warning issued

Almost 700 small boat migrants have arrived in Britain in the past two days amid warnings of a "summer of chaos". Some 287 people made the dangerous journey across the Channel in four boats on Saturday as people smugglers took advantage of the heatwave, while a further 394 came in six boats on Friday.

And more made the crossing today with migrants pictured making gestures after boarding a dinghy in Dunkirk, France. The Tories warned that Sir Keir Starmer's government has "no border control" following the latest arrivals.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: “Seven hundred illegal immigrants crossed the channel on Friday and Saturday, with more flooding in on Sunday.

"This spell of good weather has exposed the fact that Shabana Mahmood and Labour have no border control.

"They are more interested in their leadership squabbles than keeping out illegal immigrants. We face a tidal wave of illegal immigrants this summer as a result.

“Labour has returned only 7% of small boat illegal immigrants because they refuse to leave the ECHR. With 93% allowed to stay, no wonder they keep coming.

“Only through the Conservative Party’s BORDERS plan can end the crossings. We will ban asylum claims for illegal immigrants, leave the ECHR, and stop the courts intervening to allow illegal immigrants to stay.

I’m impressed they returned 7%! Where to? France or ‘home?’

Always look on the bright side of life.

Those clowns had 14 years, and Boris accelerated the invasion.

Isn’t one side of the Channel in France?

So, France lets them cross. Don’t let them in.

Our PDJT can show them how to shut the channel down.
