UK Migrant Crossings Hit New Milestone

About this episode

Small boat crossings into Britain reach new high under Labour government, with 69,155 migrants arriving since July 2024 election. Border Security Command head Martin Hewitt steps down after failed efforts to tackle Channel surges. Public frustration grows over one-in-one-out deal with France, which has returned only 377 migrants while nearly as many have come the other way. New funding deal with France being negotiated, tying British money to actual results in stopping smuggler boats. UK has spent over £770 million on French security since 2018, but past spending raised concerns.
