What are you talking about? Did Starmer and co. not say they're going to smash the gangs? I have every confidence in them.Meanwhile nearly 5800 people came via small boats this year. The highest number on record. Higher than 2024, 2023 and @Notch7 ’s favourite year 2022.
The latest figure for 22 March compared to 4,306 by the same date in 2024, and 3,683 in 2023. While in 2022, 3,836 had crossed.
1,452 in the last week!
