Two people have died making the crossing in recent weeks

Around 1,000 migrants crossed the Channel to the UK in small boats on Thursday in what’s thought to be a new record for a single day.

Lifeboat crews and Border Force boats were busy in the Dover Straight throughout the day, intercepting the migrants at sea and bringing them back into the Kent port. Further along the coast, more people were reportedly seen arriving on Hastings beach after being picked up by the RNLI. ‘With its current approach, the Government is wilfully endangering people it should be helping. These are cruel tactics and they should end.’
