The number of people waiting for hospital treatment has jumped by around 400,000 since the Prime Minister promised to bring figures down in January
Lee Anderson, the deputy chairman of the Conservative party, said on Tuesday that Channel crossings were “out of control” and it was clear ministers “have failed on this”.
More than 15,000 people have crossed the Channel via small boat this year, though the figure is 19 per cent lower than the number of arrivals in the equivalent period in 2022. Critics have also suggested that the Prime Minister’s pledge to “grow the economy” is incompatible with his promise to shrink inflation, amid warnings that repeated interest rate hikes could plunge the UK into a recession.
The National Institute of Economic and Social Research , a leading think tank, said on Wednesday it meant there was a 60 per cent risk of the Government going to the polls during a recession.
