I'm surprised nosenout hasn't congratulated them on becoming accomplished sailors.
I think there is a chance Starmer's 1 in 1 out might have a small impact. But it has a lot of lifting to do to make up for the cancelling the only deterrent that was having an impact.
I know a lot of ex-RNLI people who now volunteer for independent life-boat services due to the "work" the RNLI do in the channel. They pretend its a tiny amount of their operations, but when you look closely at the data something like 20-25p in every £1 goes on taxiing illegals and there have been vessels left to seek help from freighters due to RNLI boats tasked on Uber duty.
