The Prime Minister is facing unrest from Labour MPs who are worried that the failure to prevent illegal crossings of the English Channel in small boats is proving a political boost for Reform UK.

Sources close to him said that he would push ministers to achieve that goal more quickly than previously pledged, although he is not planning to set a new, more ambitious formal target.
One option being worked on to speed up the end of migrant hotel accommodation is housing asylum seekers in military sites instead.
Labour backbenchers told The i Paper that both the policy and the presentation around migration need to be improved to avoid handing a gift to Reform, which has risen in the polls amid public anger on the issue.

“Thanks to our deal with France, people crossing in small boats can now be detained and removed to France and I expect the first returns to take place imminently. Protecting the UK border is my priority as Home Secretary and I will explore all options to restore order to our immigration system.”
