Sir Keir Starmer faces mounting pressure over the small boats crisis after protests continued outside asylum hotels and a poll suggested voters thought he was failing to grip the problem.
The Prime Minister and his government have set out measures to speed up the asylum appeals system to aid the removal of people with no right to be in the UK.
But Labour former home secretary Lord Blunkett said the Government had so far failed to offer a “comprehensive answer or an understandable narrative” on tackling the crisis.
So far this year a record 28,076 people have crossed the English Channel in small boats, 46% more than in the same period in 2024.
Protests at sites housing asylum seekers continued over the weekend and the Government is braced for further legal fights over the use of hotels.
Lord Blunkett, who has suggested temporarily suspending elements of the European Convention on Human Rights and the UN Refugee Convention to deal with the problem, said Sir Keir had to be “radical” in his approach.
A YouGov poll for The Times found that 71% per cent of voters believe the Prime Minister is handling the asylum hotel issue badly, including 56% of Labour supporters.
The survey of 2,153 people carried out on August 20-21 found 37% of voters viewed immigration and asylum as the most important issue facing the country, ahead of 25% who said the economy and 7% who said the health service.

Relevant. It makes sense on what's happening in the UK. But you can say the same thing about this country as well.
What democrats want violent rapists and killers removed ?
This chaos and crisis after crisis is intentional.
Western nations are being pulled up by the roots by the Marxists WEF Davos worshipers. They are all of one mind and free speech must be shutdown to keep the public from connecting the dots.
The USA has been surrounded. Macron, Starmer, Carney were all put into place to push back against the USA resisting their globalist plans.
Outside invaders are given more advantages and rights than citizens and to overwhelm the system to cause it to breakdown to “build back better.” USAID was flooding dollars to these NGOs enabling these lawless efforts.
28,000? Sheesh that is one day in America in 2024.
