GB News: ‘Stop pussyfooting around!’ Mark White tears into Labour for ‘irregular migration’ rebrand
UK asylum claims reached a record 108,138 in 2024, an 18% increase from 2023, driven by a rise in small boat arrivals across the English Channel. Despite government efforts to curb migration, the trend continues upward, with Afghans making up the largest group among these arrivals.
The Home Office reported over 35,000 small boat migrants last year, although this figure is 20% lower than the peak in 2022. Critics have pointed out the government's rebranding of "illegal migration" to "irregular migration," arguing it obscures the reality of the situation.
