It’s been claimed a number of times, including by former home secretary Priti Patel, that 60% of small boat arrivals over the summer were from Albania. But we can’t verify this claim as the Home Office hasn't published the data to back it up

, which claimed that “between half and 60 per cent of the Channel migrants arriving in small boats are now Albanian“, and backed up the figure by adding: “An estimated 700—or 60 per cent—of the daily record of 1,295 migrants who reached the UK on Monday were from the Balkan state.

This is more in line with the Telegraph’s original reporting, but potentially different to Ms Patel’s claim in Parliament that 60% of small boat arrivals “over the summer” were Albanian. It did tell us that the next quarter’s data on small boat crossings, which will cover some of the summer, is due to be published on 24 November.

Considering she did bugger all about it who cares? An illegal immigrant is an illegal immigrant. Very different to a genuine refugee.

Another lie

The Home Office has now released data showing 42% arriving between May and September were Albanian. There’s still no published data showing 60% of arrivals over the summer were Albanian, though in some weeks, more than half of arrivals in small boats were Albanian. [2/2]

Nice try at deboooonkig. Have another soy latte with 35mg of oestrogen in it and try again.

Surely as it is reported many of the arrivals don’t have paperwork how do we know where they come from? Are we taking their word for it? In which case the full facts will never be known.

Is there any boats for sale?

Labour claims about a £500 rise in mortgage payments lack important context - Full FactAt PMQs Sir Keir Starmer claimed that mortgage payments are 'skyrocketing by £500 per month' as a result of the government’s 'borrowing spree'. This figure reflects the impact of interest rate rises since August 2020, not just since the mini-Budget. My interest rates went up from 2020 when I bought by house to 2022 when I remortgaged. The increase was £34 per month. Thes latest increases are for some in the region of £750 extra. So technically still correct More lies eh TomDorr_87 ..
