Labour faced fury and ridicule as they bragged about the France returns deal being an “immediate deterrent” as hundreds of migrants crossed the Channel.
Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy defended Sir Keir Starmer’s “one-in-one-out” deal with Emmanuel Macron despite only three people being deported in the scheme’s first five days.
Up to 1,000 migrants are feared to have crossed in small boats on Friday, leaving Labour’s claims of ‘smashing the gangs’ in tatters.
This would take the total number of arrivals this year to more than 32,000 – including around 10,000 since the one-in-one-out agreement was struck at the Anglo-French summit in July.
This number is expected to rise further as French navy vessels are currently tracking asylum seekers.
Border Force boats have been "running all day" and the lifeboat has also been deployed amid chaotic scenes in the Channel.
Migrants were plunged into the water as the boats disintegrated as they approached rescue vessels. The Daily Express understands two rescue operations were carried out today.
Lifeboat crews even had to intercept a dinghy and prevent it from being hit by a ferry.
Dinghies have been drifting into the ferry routes, witnesses said.
