Labour party is planning to release a strategy next week aimed at reducing both legal and illegal migration into the UK. This comes after more than 20,000 people have crossed the English Channel in small boats under Labour's leadership since the election win in July.
Labour is set to publish its plan to tackle migration next week - as the number of people who have crossed the Channel under Sir Keir Starmer is understood to have hit a new milestone. In the early hours of this morning, Sky News understands two small boats were picked up in the Channel with dozens of migrants on board, taking the number of crossings since July to more than 20,000. These are the first crossings since 16 November.
The latest figures, in the year to June 2024, found net migration had fallen by 20% from the previous year to an estimated 728,000. Mr McFadden said: 'Numerical targets on migration have not had a happy history in recent years. 'You might remember David Cameron saying that he wanted to reduce it to the tens of thousands.' He added: 'Fear not, the document that we're going to publish will talk about migration, both legal and illegal.
