People-smuggling arrests by the UK’s organised crime agency have fallen under Labour, despite Sir Keir Starmer’s pledge to “smash the gangs”, as the number of small boat migrants arriving since he took charge soars past 50,000.
The latest National Crime Agency (NCA) data shows 192 people were arrested for organised immigration crime in the year to April – down 16 per cent from 229 under the Tory government the previous year.
