News summary

A significant surge in small boat crossings has been reported, with nearly 600 migrants arriving in the UK on a single day, marking the highest daily total for 2025. This increase brought the total number of crossings this year to 2,716, which is 20% higher than the same period last year, although it remains 8% lower than in 2023. The Home Office has announced plans to enhance efforts against people-smuggling gangs and implement stricter laws to prevent dangerous crossings. In response to the rising numbers, the UK government has ramped up cooperation with French authorities, although concerns persist over the effectiveness of current measures, as only a small fraction of arrivals have been deported. Reports indicate that five individuals required medical assistance during the latest crossings, underscoring the perilous nature of the journey. The situation reflects ongoing challenges in managing asylum claims, with a notable rise in applications but a decrease in the approval rate.
