Sir Keir Starmer must recall Parliament to discuss the Channel migrant “emergency” after the number of arrivals surged past 25,000 in record time, critics declared. Some 898 asylum seekers were intercepted on 13 boats on Wednesday – an average of 70 people per dinghy.
It takes the total so far this year to 25,436 in 432 boats – the first time the milestone has been reached in July. And the Daily Express can reveal frustration is beginning to boil over among seafarers navigating the Channel. An exasperated P&O Ferries captain asked a French navy vessel: “Is that the same dinghy we reported when it was on the beach in Calais about two hours ago?”
It came after the ship was asked to alter its course as the French vessel shadowed a migrant dinghy across the Channel.
The French captain responded: “Yes, it may be the same, yes.”
Ministers were on Thursday warned “our border crisis is worse than ever” and “this is now a national emergency”.
Border Force were overwhelmed by smugglers launching waves of dinghies destined for the UK on Wednesday. Lifeboat crews were scrambled to intercept some of those crossing amid “chaotic” scenes in the Dover Strait.
Former minister Esther McVey told the Daily Express: “The British public’s high levels of tolerance have been pushed to breaking point and they see a political class who seem unaware of the anger and fear there is in the local community.
“This is a national emergency and MPs should be seeking urgent solutions and action rather than taking a summer vacation – leaving the people we represent in the lurch.
“The public will not take much more of this and MPs need to be recalled to Parliament to sort out this mess once and for all.”

Nope - too busy destroying individual liberties and free speech and imprisoning citizens who try to stand up to the governments oppression.
The revolution is gathering pace
I wonder if the former minister has been arrested for hate speech yet.
Most are Albanians (heavy into drug distribution) and various Muslims. Afghans love the UK.
“70 people per dinghy”
Yar, taint no dinghy mate.
They can stop it if they want to.
Britain is only an island - too many “migrants” and it will flip over like Guam did.
THE LEFT , INCLUDING THOSE IN BRITAIN, DESTROY EVERYTHING THEY TOUCH,
EVERYTHING !!!!
Those are rookie numbers.
Sink the boats.
The truth is that all the main political parties are for illegals to continue in the UK. Though some occasionally talk against it, they do nothing. The Tories were in power for many years and it just got worse and worse. Keir Starmer got elected because they were going to change it.
Instead, they got even worse. Right now, there is no President Trump of the UK pounding on this issue and little likelihood that it will change, even if a new election is held.
Right now, the powers to be in the UK are determined to destroy the country and most likely will succeed.
Millions of native Britons will end up fleeing the UK. Mostly to Australia. Some to Canada and Dubai.
They are too liberal for us so we shouldn't accept them in the U.S. except for Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage.
The Labour government has just lowered the voting age to 16 as well. They are determined to keep power.
I don't see them losing in the next election.
So much for “... we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches,...”
Even Nigel Farage isn’t speaking up like he should and the reason is he is not going to do anything about it either.
He may be "controlled opposition".
Tommy Robinson is not because they are constantly trying to arrest him so they can put him in prison.
