The development will come as a blow to Rishi Sunak as MPs prepare to come back to Westminster following the summer recess.
As Westminster slowly grinds back into gear, and a new term creeps into view, few would wish to be Rishi Sunak right now.
The trajectory of Channel crossings in 2023 so far is not as sharp as last year , but much higher than it was in 2021. Conservative MPs have even suggested to us an election should be called early in May to avoid another summer of Channel crossings. Whenever the next general election may be, both parties are getting on an election footing.
The average number of migrants crossing the Channel per boat also hit a new monthly high in August, when some 5,369 people made the journey in 102 boats, an average of around 53 migrants per vessel.However, compared with this time last year, data compiled by Sky News shows the number of arrivals is down by around 17%.
