Andy Burnham and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood were slammed for losing control of the UK’s borders after 1,000 illegal migrants arrived in just three days. Home Office figures show 150 small boat migrants arrived in Monday September 21; 154 arrived on Tuesday September 22, and 781 on Wednesday September 23. It means 1,085 came in a three-day period.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: “It does show that Shabana Mahmood has no control of our borders, with these boats making it all the way across undetected. There may be others, as you rightly say. Now, last week was a shocking week ... we had a boat crossing from Normandy crossing towards the Isle of Wight, the longest ever crossing, and in just three days last week – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday – over 1,000 illegal immigrants entered the country.”
Speaking to GB News, he claimed France was doing nothing to stop small boats despite payments of £1 billion from the UK government.
“The French Interior Minister Monsieur Nuñez admitted a couple of days ago that the French gendarmes that we pay for have orders to stand around doing nothing and not intervening. I personally witnessed that just a few weeks ago on the beaches. They’re doing nothing to stop these boats.”
Mr Philp highlighted Conservative plans to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
“There is only one solution to this, which is to do what the Australians did about 13 years ago: leave the ECHR and deport all of these illegal immigrants within a week of arrival, and then the crossings will pretty quickly stop.”
In an interview to coincide with Labour’s annual conference, taking place this week in Liverpool, Prime Minister Andy Burnham said Brexit had made stopping small boats harder.

Looks to me like he’s in perfect control.
So the little prick has the nerve to blame Brexit. Shameless absolutely shameless.
Yes.
His excuses are Brexit and France.
I would prefer the solution to the Venezuelan boat jockeys.....
The French don't want them and send them to the U.K. Seems like the U.K. needs to deploy gunboats and divert the invaders back towards France. But that would be logical, and the U.K. authorities are nuts.
Losing control assumes that the the PM has any desire to to assert control in the first place
He is making a token lip service at stopping the invasion but takes to meaningful efforts to stop it
As we here in the USA learned when Trump took office, it’s really easy to enforce borders if you really want to do so
A couple weeks of Brits intercepting these “ small boats” and dropping them off on French beaches and the invasion will be over
The invasion is being executed using inflatable and semi rigid inflatable boats which is trivial for British MI5 to figure out who is buying and financing the invasion and to intervene at the source
Bottom line , the UK political class is enabling the invasion because they want to
Sink one or two boats in the Channel let the occupants drown and it would stop.
The goal is to replace the Natives so the replacements will vote for the Labour Party forever.
“ The goal is to replace the Natives so the replacements will vote for the Labour Party forever.”
That doesn’t really explain why the record was set by Boris Johnson’s government with a huge conservative majority.
This idea that there are two parties in opposition over illegal immigration. It’s just not true.
dont they have a military that shoots when invaded??
UK Conservative party the ultimate “me too” party in regard to labor/socialist/Fabian goals. When Thatcher died so died the last UK Conservative.
Boris Johnson is a CINO (Conservative in Name Only).
So their party fell apart.
Now they're either Reform or Restore.
When the French sent boat loads of illegals the Brits killed them later when the Germans flew them in the Brits killed them too.
But now the Brits are trying to stop illegals with free stuff.
Give the Muzzies a break ... they are just trying to support the newest member of the Worldwide Caliphate ... England
Everything is going according to plan.
RE: arrival of too many small boats.
“We’re gonna need a bigger boat.”
Never attribute to incompetence what can be better explained by policy
Shabana Mahmood losing control of the UK’s borders.
Needs to seek large amount of Pit Bulls for lease save ammo money.
The signature feature of the Left is that they are so hungry for power that they are willing to destroy their country and ruin the quality of lives for its people (including themselves) so they can retain power and rule over the ashes of the county they intentionality burnt to the ground
