The increase in small boats? Don’t be silly, even you are not daft enough to disagree with the evidence. Numbers went through the roof.
What's happened to the small boats?

It’s like arguing with a 7 year old.Scraping the barrel for an out again.
He's trying to divert, rather than admit he was wrong.
And that bregshit remains a turd.

If this news piece is to be believed, Brexit was partly to blame for lack of action:
Smuggling gangs have long used garages or warehouses to store equipment in western Germany before transporting it to northern France. Until recently, however, key anti-smuggling laws in Germany only applied to nations within the EU's zone of free movement, not to third countries, which included the UK after Brexit.

No, it's cause and effect.
Of course, the few remaining Brexers try to deny the damage they have caused, and which they are now moaning about.
What does that prove? Correlation is not causation.
There was absolutely no link, other than that Boris & Co thought there would be a shortage of workers as a result of Brexit so stupidly panicked and threw the borders open to anyone. There was no need, or at best it was a massive over-reaction.
There's a graph somewhere that shows the similar rise in cases of breast cancer and the number of street lights installed, they correlate perfectly. Obviously there's absolutely no link between the two, but it's a good example of how halfwits can be fooled by a graph.
The only possible link I can think of between Brexit and the small boats is that it's known that the people smugglers previously made use of the trucks going from France to the UK. Increased checks on imports and exports since Brexit may make it more likely for them to be found, so they've turned to the boats instead.
It's perfectly possible that the only change is that illegal immigration was always going on but has become much more visible as a result of Brexit.
There are still other invisible routes too, e.g. EU to Ireland, catch a bus to Northern Ireland then get the ferry to GB. Usually no passport or ID needed at any point. Join the vast UK black market for work, much more easily and safely and this won't feature in any statistics.

Trouble not your furrowed brow, and Google has the answers you (do not) seek.
Already posted them too, to save you the trouble of finding them yourself.
They'll not be to your liking or prejudices though........

Only ones moaning are the ones that wanted to remain. Fact.
So you and your fellow RWR's don't mind the Farage small boat migrants coming over now? Refreshing to know we won't hear anymore endless whingeing about dark skinned foreigners, coming to our shores.

France are still in the EU and they are invaded every single day with illegal immigrants. In or out of EU makes little difference in this matter.

Trying to divert.
Nobody with any credibility is saying Brexit was the cause of the small boat crises.
Look at
the comparison with other countries.
when the vote was, when we left
the rise last year, the fall just after Brexit.
The recent rapid rise.
You’ve asked an AI to present some news articles, you’ve done Nosenout levels of due diligence on the results and made an argument that is nonsense.
Apart from that .. good effort.
