More than 25,000 migrants have arrived in the UK after crossing the Channel so far this year, with nearly 900 more brought ashore yesterday.
Record numbers of people, most of them men, have made the journey in small boats so far this year - with the Government's failure to tackle the crisis sparking widespread public anger.
Some 898 migrants made the journey in 13 boats yesterday, bringing the total number of arrivals for 2025 so far to 25,436, Home Office figures show.
Pictures showed multiple boats with people wearing lifejackets on board arriving in Dover yesterday afternoon.
Today is the earliest point in a calendar year at which the 25,000 mark has been passed since data on Channel crossings was first reported in 2018.
