Channel crossings to hit 50,000 since Labour came to power

Since the arrival of labor last summer, the number of immigrants who will pass the British channel on small boats is expected to reach 50,000.

Home office data show that 49,797 people have been on a journey from Sunday and that the total of Monday’s total will be published later.

Government Minister Baroness Smith told the BBC that it was a “unacceptable number of people”, but he pointed out that “one in one” returned.

However, the conservative party said that the migratory transition totals showed that the Labor Party “delivered our borders”.

The latest figures come as the ministers continue to deal with how they will fall into human smuggling gangs-Sir Keir is an important commitment of Sir Keir Starmer.

“We understand how much this is about people.”

Authorized, immigrant transition figures, human illegal gangs in recent years showed that “people take an absolute base in tragic smuggling”, but the government “made progress in cope with it, he added.

“One, One Out” pilot will see that Britain has returned some immigrants to France in exchange for the same number of asylum seekers believed to have legitimate claims.

Last week, a government source told a few dozen immigrants to the BBC He was detained within the scope of England’s new agreement with France Until now, it has not provided a certain number.

The first returns are expected to take place within weeks – but the first numbers are expected to be small.

The figures published on Tuesday are expected to confirm that the number of small boat transitions reached 50,000 on Monday (August 11th) from the date of labor to power on July 5 last year.

This was more than 13,000 higher than the same period of the previous year – between July 5, 2023 and 11 August 2024, small boats had 36,346 immigration transition.

Government sources stressed that this did not pass the channel of 50,000 people for the first time in a 403 -day period.

Between October 8, 2021 and 14 November 2022, under the previous conservative government, the small boat arrived by 53,587.

Government sources say that at the beginning of this year, there was an unusual day with calm and warm weather, which has contributed to a large number of transitions.

However, Tories accused the Labor of controlling the “worst illegal migration crisis in our history”.

“This is a ferry service financed by the taxpayer for human trafficking trade. Every illegal immigrant should be removed immediately in arrival,” Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said. He said.

Reform Reform British leader Nigel Farage said: “As I guessed five years ago, the occupation will be great unless the illegal immigrants deport.

The Ministry of Interior said he wanted to end the dangerous small boat transitions and brought together a “serious plan” to overthrow networks.

However, considering the promise of disintegration of 50,000 kilometers of stone, small boat passages, deeply uncomfortable for the government.

The channel was between January and August 2025 compared to the same period last year.

Government sources argue that there is no silver bullets to reduce numbers, but insist on a number of practical changes, such as handling illegal work and deporting foreign criminals faster.

Baroness Smith said the border security, shelter and immigration bill through parliament would give ministers more power to “challenge gangs”.

Among the other measures announced, up to five years imprisonment for criminals Advertisement of illegal channel transitions onlineand increasing funding More National Crime Agency officials.

Tories’s suggestion that only very few people would be deported under the “one, an exit” pilot plan, Baroness Smith said that the previous conservative government’s plan to deport the Rwanda to deport the Rwanda was “£ 700 million and never designed for six people a week.”

The latest moves come after a series Protests and counter demonstrations other than Hotels of England It is used to host asylum seekers.

Enver Solomon, CEO of the Refugee Council Aid Aid, said, “People do not pass the channel unless they are more scary than the next thing.” He said.

The facade workers of philanthropy, small boats traveling men, women and children, “the war does not leave any other place to return to the places that escape from the places that flee,” he said.

“In order to stop smugglers for good, the government should expand safe and legal ways, such as allowing family members to be with their loved ones already settled in England.” He said.

“Without these measures, desperate people will continue to make dangerous journeys, and crime gangs will probably adapt their approach.”
