Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp criticized Labour for their handling of the situation, declaring it a "day of shame" for the party as boat crossings increase.
Philp emphasized the failure of the Labour government by stating, "They cancelled the Rwanda deterrent before it even started...illegal immigrants would not bother attempting to cross."
A Downing Street spokesperson defended the government, stating, "We put in place a serious, credible plan to bring order to the asylum system by smashing the smuggling gangs."
