Children among migrants arriving in Kent after being rescued from English Channel
Tuesday, 26 March 2024 Children were among the people brought ashore in Dover, Kent, after crossing the English Channel - less than a week since the highest number of migrant arrivals was recorded for 2024.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp has dismissed the government's proposed powers to address illegal immigration as "laughable", claiming they will have no impact. He emphasised the importance of a strong deterrent, such as the Conservatives' Rwanda plan, in preventing small boat crossings in the English Channel.

Home Office minister Seema Malhotra says it will take time to tackle illegal immigration as figures show a 25 per cent increase in English Channel crossings during 2024, compared to the previous year.
