Mr Philp said: “The people-smuggling conveyor belt is now a round trip, paid for by British taxpayers.

"We were in the middle of the Channel, just on the UK side of the border, witnessing the French handing over two boatloads of illegal migrants, Border Force picking them out, providing a taxi service back to the UK.

"With a weak Government in the UK, the French are essentially assisting and facilitating illegal migration so it’s no wonder we’ve got the worst ever numbers.”
Latest Home Office figures show 25,436 people have arrived by small boat so far this year - a record for this point in the year since data began in 2018.
This is up 48% on the same point last year (17,170), and is 70% higher than in 2023 (14,994).
