Rishi Sunak has urged people to “have confidence” in his plan to stop small boats crossing the Channel despite the number of arrivals this year climbing toward 20,000.

The prime minister said the number of migrant arrivals was lower than at this point last year, showing his plan to “stop the boats” was “working”.
