EXCLUSIVE: Home Office fears new record for Channel crossings this summer amid intelligence on 200+ planned trips. The Home Office is increasingly concerned that this summer could see a new high in illegal small-boat crossings of the English Channel, with internal estimates pointing to between 15,000 and 18,000 arrivals if favourable weather conditions persist. A senior Home Office source has told me that the department is bracing for a significant surge as warmer weather arrives, potentially driving crossings to levels not seen in recent years. The source warned: "The department is concerned that this summer we could see crossings of up to 18,000. Intelligence suggests there are around 200 planned trips in the pipeline." This comes despite a recent lull in activity. Official Home Office data shows no small-boat arrivals over the past seven days in mid-March a relatively quiet period following a spell of daily crossings earlier this month. However, government intelligence indicates that smugglers are preparing for an uptick, with more than 200 potential crossings being monitored as hot weather is expected to create calmer conditions ideal for the journeys. The figures would represent a substantial increase on recent seasonal patterns and could push annual totals higher still, following 2025’s total of over 41,000 arrivals the second-highest year on record. The Home Office has not responded to a request for comment on this story.






I’m proud of our tolerant and diverse country. I’m proud that in Trafalgar Square we celebrate all faiths. That’s British values. The comments from Nick Timothy are shameful. Kemi Badenoch should do the right thing and sack him.
