More than 750 migrants cross Channel in 2026 daily record: UK government

LONDON: Britain’s government said Thursday that 752 migrants were detected arriving in small boats across the Channel the previous day, a daily record for this year. The figure, released by the interior ministry, broke a previous 2026 record set in June of 710 arrivals in a single day. The issue of tens of thousands of irregular migrants arriving in small boats each year has vexed successive British governments and fueled support for the hard-right Reform UK party led by Nigel Farage.
