Migrant crossings have hit another record high with at least 1,000 men, women and children spotted making the journey to the UK today – as Boris Johnson urges France to stop the crossings.
The astonishing new figure, based on witness sightings collated by Sky News, is thought to be the highest daily figure and well over the previous record of 828 on August 21.
The Prime Minister now says Home Secretary Priti Patel is ‘working around the clock to ensure France impedes the passage of illegal migrants across the Channel.
He was answering a question by Conservative MP Jacob Young, who argued Britain’s ability to provide Afghans a safe passage to the UK is strained by ‘the continuing uncontrolled illegal migration on the English Channel’.
