Small boat migrants have successfully crossed the Channel for the first time since Andy Burnham became Prime Minister.

About 100 migrants arrived on Wednesday morning, with more boats understood to be on the way.

Migrants crossing the English Channel plummeted to zero for the week before this, despite the calm weather conditions.

Reform UK’s home affairs spokesman, Zia Yusuf, said: "Migrants have heard the message loud and clear: With Open Borders Burnham in charge, there’s never been a better time to make the crossing.

“Illegal arrivals are set to surpass 13,000 this week, and with Andy Burnham now in No 10 and four more days of flat weather ahead, the terrifying thing is that numbers are going to increase massively.”

Reform UK suggested the number of illegal migrants to have arrived in the UK in small boats this year is expected to pass 13,000 by the weekend.

A better way to phrase it is, “Sink the boats, or stop complaining” since there is no practical, achievable, legal way to undo the harm once they land.

Sink every boat for three days, and picket the Royal Navy with orders to shoot, and it will stop.

Don’t do that, and it will continue until your country is dead.

Enough talk. Choose.

I'm sure everyone in the UK Establishment knows.

Shoot to kill or stop complaining. Those are the choices.

The sun has set on the British empire and now on Britain itself.
