Migrant crisis: GB News reveals the REAL reasons small boat arrivals have fallen and it’s nothing to do with Labour

“Yet there is still a long way to go. Arrivals from countries which refuse to take returns, gaming of the ECHR to prevent deportation on increasingly ridiculous grounds and the lack of a credible third country option for removals still mean large numbers arriving.”

Labour’s total small boats tally is now 88,243 since the 2024 General Election, which would almost be able to fill Wembley Stadium.

A GB News analysis also revealed 44,359 migrants crossed the Channel in Labour’s first 12 months in office, a 40 per cent rise on the 31,578 recorded in the Conservatives’ final year.

Meanwhile, Mr Burnham’s daily average now sits at 96.2 migrant arrivals a day, putting him narrowly behind Sir Keir on 103.5.

The Prime Minister fares worse than all of his Tory predecessors, excluding Liz Truss, with Boris Johnson’s average sitting at 57.7 and Rishi Sunak’s hitting 81.9.
