A total of 29,884 asylum seekers arrived on British shores between Labour’s General Election victory last summer and March 29 this year, new data has revealed Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has been lambasted for his efforts to tackle Britain’s growing migrant crisis, as new figures have shown that the Labour leader hold the “worst record of any Prime Minister” on small boat crossings.
Small boat migrant crossings have surged to record levels under Starmer’s Government, with more than 6,600 migrants detected in the Channel during the first three months of 2025. Despite Labour’s efforts to “smash the gangs”, Starmer recently admitted at an international summit that Britain had been a “soft touch” on illegal migration for too long.
