🚨BREAKING: More than 250 illegal migrants have crossed the English Channel today

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.

"That Charlie Simpson kid has posted another exclusive on the party, Mr Farage."

I’m going to take a few days away from everything as I’m feeling very unwell at the moment. I’ll be back on Wednesday.

@RachelHale9920 Yes.

@CharlieSimpsonA Andrew Rosindell denied it too, the day before defecting if I remember rightly!

It’s only right that I report on your denial, as I do with all stories. But for the record, I stand by my sources, and you are in talks about defecting. Have a good weekend, Katie.

@gary_hedley1 @CheckCharlieB No I don’t work for GB NEWS. 🤣

Katie Lam is now in advanced talks with Reform UK about defecting, sources close to both her and Reform have told me this morning.

Restore Britain has now reached 113,000 members, meaning it has overtaken the Conservatives in membership numbers. I’ve had this verified by two Tory sources, who confirm that Conservative Party membership currently stands at just 113,000.

Katie Lam's aide has said the following to me: "Any rumour that Katie has been in talks with Reform about joining them is categorically untrue. Katie is not going anywhere and fully backs Kemi who is doing a great job both as Leader and of demolishing this disastrous Labour government."

@RestoreBritain_ 1,000 more and you’ll overtake the Conservative Party. I’ve had it verified by two sources at party HQ that their membership currently stands at 113,000.

112,000 Restore Britain members from social media. Wait until our ground game gets properly firing.

🚨NEW: Sammy Woodhouse, a survivor of child sexual exploitation, will continue working with MP Rupert Lowe for a further 12 months to help expose the ongoing issue of the rape and torture of children in the United Kingdom

EXCLUSIVE: The Department for Education has held emergency meetings this week with school leaders regarding the so-called "school wars." Across the United Kingdom, "school wars" have been occurring, with students in some cases bringing knives into schools and rioting during lessons. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has issued emergency guidance to all schools, urging them to search pupils where they deem it necessary. There is serious concern that students could be gravely harmed and in some cases killed. Today in Ashfield, police were called to a school after a riot broke out and a student allegedly ran around brandishing a knife. "School wars" have been taking place for years, originating in London, but this is now being described as an escalating crisis.

A friend of mine who works at Conservative Party HQ tells me that the party’s current membership stands at 113,000. In July 2025 the figure was 123,000, meaning a drop of 10,000 members in under a year.
