A huge surge in migrant crossings has taken place over the first two days of the bank holiday weekend, with at least 227 making it to the UK. While the nation celebrated VE Day, a record 145 migrants were brought to Dover after making the perilous journey across the English Channel, the Home Office finally confirmed on Saturday evening. Pictures taken at the busy trade port on Saturday showed people wearing face masks being processed by Border Force officials. The 145 migrants dealt with by Border Force on Friday were found aboard eight inflatable boats between 2am and 9am. I strongly welcome this action and her commitment to end small boats crossings.
