(Picture: PA)More than 12,300 migrants have risked their lives to reach Britain in small boats crossing the Channel so far this year – at least double the number in the same period of 2021.
A total of 153 people on four boats were intercepted by the UK authorities on Monday, according to figures released by the Ministry of Defence.
