Sam StevensonPolitics Live News EditorGood morning and welcome to The i Paper‘s live blog.
Ministers are reportedly ready to send more than 100 small boats arrivals back across the Channel, as Reform UK sets out its plans to grasp the migrant crisis.
Sir Keir Starmer will implement his one in, one out migrant deal with France within weeks, according to The Times, amid mounting criticism of his approach to small boat crossings.
The newspaper reported that a group of 100-plus migrants currently in detention, including some arrested over the weekend, could be among the first to be sent back to France under the scheme.
Nigel Farage meanwhile hit out at the Prime Minister’s plans, as he prepares to unveil on Tuesday Reform UK’s bid to tackle illegal migration with an overhaul of human rights law and mass deportations.
A record 28,288 people have crossed the English Channel in small boats this year so far, after 212 people did so on Sunday in four boats, making the total 46 per cent more than by the same date in 2024.
Further boats were seen embarking on the dangerous journey on Monday, though the official number of those who made the crossing has not yet been published.
Starmer is facing growing pressure from senior Labour figures and his own supporters, who feel the Government’s attempts to tackle the migrant crisis have so far failed.
