More than 1,000 migrants are thought to have crossed the English Channel on Saturday.

The figure is the biggest daily total since May, in which more than 1,195 migrants arrived in the UK in a single day.

Saturday's arrivals takes the total number of Channel arrivals so far this year to more than 30,000.

It also comes after it was revealed that Keir Starmer plans to close down migrant hotels and house residents in former military barracks.

Currently, two former military bases - MDP Wethersfield in Essex and Napier Barracks in Folkestone - are being used to house asylum seekers.
