The migrant mega dinghy is a national humiliation

He has found a solution to the small-boats crisis… In the early hours of Monday morning, a 49-foot dinghy carrying 230 illegal immigrants arrived on British shores from France.
Admittedly, this is a drop in the ocean to the nearly £3 billion the government is already spending each year housing illegal immigrants across Britain.
One year on from Keir Starmer’s vaunted ‘one-in, one-out’ deal with French president Emmanuel Macron, just four per cent of illegal immigrants have been returned.
This isn’t simply a national humiliation – a dereliction of the government’s fundamental duty to protect our nation’s borders.
Already, more than 3,000 illegal immigrants have crossed the Channel since he was handed the top job, a position he has held for less than a month.
