Labour have second highest all-time yearly number of small boat migrants. Nothing to be proud about. So much for "Smash the gangs".Continuing fixing the mess Tory MPs (now Reform) caused and only ever talked about fixing.

Depends on the boat speed and size obviously.Which month would any sane seafarer cross the channel in
So who presided over the highest number?Labour have second highest all-time yearly number of small boat migrants. Nothing to be proud about. So much for "Smash the gangs".
Conservatives. 2022 when they tightened up inspections and brought in £10k per person fines for those arriving by lorry.So who presided over the highest number?

Since we are cherry picking months - December-2024 under Labour was the worse month on recordConservatives. 2022 when they tightened up inspections and brought in £10k per person fines for those arriving by lorry.
But for a week or two of bad weather, Labour would have taken the top spot last year. Everyone knows that. Not everyone wants to hear or admit that.
I should have added … in an open overcrowded inflatableDepends on the boat speed and size obviously.
But with sea temperatures close to 10 degrees or less, wind speed above 10 kts and heavy rain. its not ideal.
Anything other than a southerly is not great, if you are going North. Easterlies and westerlies will aid a sailing boat, but give you choppy water with wind over tide if you time it wrong
while Jan-25 had a some days with very strong winds, Jan-26 had twice as many days with heavy rain and strong winds

This is so funny and to see mini troll support this with his endorsed like too.. lolContinuing fixing the mess Tory MPs (now Reform) caused and only ever talked about fixing.
