The government is expected to confirm later that 20,000 people have crossed the English Channel in small boats since Labour entered office, indicating a significant challenge.
Labour's first five months in office have seen a total of 20,290 crossings, highlighting a political challenge regarding immigration and border control.
While current crossings are lower than the peak in 2022, the uptick this year emphasizes the ongoing struggle of the Starmer government against smuggling gangs.
Labour's abandonment of the previous government's Rwanda deportation plan points to a shift in approach to reducing crossings, as they seek to combat smuggling networks.
