The number of illegal migrants who have broken into Britain via small boat under Labour’s watch now outnumber the entire British Army’s 83,000 soldiers. GB News has the story.
On Wednesday, 781 migrants arrived in the UK after crossing the Channel – the worst day recorded since Andy Burnham replaced Sir Keir Starmer as Prime Minister.
The crossings took the number of small boat arrivals since Labour stormed to victory in the 2024 General Election to 83,279.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp has now raised the alarm after the figure surpassed the British Army’s 83,000 soldiers.
The Conservative frontbencher said: “Labour has let an entire army-sized population cross the Channel illegally.”
Under the Tories, around 128,000 migrants arrived in Britain via small boat. …
Labour has overseen the arrival of six-and-a-half divisions’ worth of “fighting-age men,” according to former Royal Navy officer Chris Parry.
“That’s more divisions than were in the Allied assault wave on D-Day,” he said, branding their arrivals “amphibious operations against our coast”.
While Philp added: “More people have arrived in small boats than we have soldiers defending Britain. That is completely bonkers. The Conservative plan is to end hotels and benefits for illegal immigrants and instead deport them.”
Nigel Farage has described the alarming number of small boat migrants who successfully broke into Britain this week as “a national emergency”.
Writing in the Mail, the Reform UK leader said: “It is utterly insane. And if it wasn’t clear before, the events of the past few days have proved beyond any reasonable doubt that both Border Force and the Home Office have completely lost control.”
He continued: “Years ago, I warned the small boats crisis would define this era of British politics. Predictably, the chin-stroking commentariat declared I was exaggerating. Well, look where we are now.
“On a political level, the cost to this country of this weekly invasion has been devastating. Public trust in politicians is at an all-time low, and why wouldn’t it be?
“Ordinary Britons rightly ask if successive governments cannot stop people from arriving illegally in broad daylight, let alone under cover of darkness without detection, then what exactly is the point of having a border?”
His party has pledged to launch the “largest military operation since World War Two” and deploy the Royal Navy to the Channel to end the crisis.

Send in the British Navy? Which vessels might that be?
Is there any evidence of the ‘enrichment’ being given military training? Would presumably be hard to hide considering the numbers involved. Doubt if we’ll hear about it on the BBC though.
The British admin must be proud of their accomplishment to accommodate this many illegal migrants. Does anyone know their goal? As in the total they will accommodate? Does anyone know why they are doing this?
They haven’t “broken into Britain.”
The Government has ferried them in as fast as it possibly can and is then giving them accommodation and “free everything” paid for by British taxpayers.
It looks like an organised operation, orchestrated by the French and British Establishments, to import hundreds of thousands of dangerous men from violent 3rd world societies and then spread them around the country …. in order to “fairly share” the consequences and raise the level of fear in the native population.
I don’t believe any of it is “a mistake,” or the consequence of incompetence. I believe it is deliberate. They are deliberately creating the conditions for civil war and are deliberately deconstructing this nation.
And the number who arrived under the Tories also exceeded the number of people in the British Army. So what is the point of the headline? We know the political class don’t like us and the feeling is mutual.
I’m waiting for the government to announce conscription for the invaders so they can make themselves useful.
The thought had crossed my mind too. Would they be any good, though, if sent to Yemen to fight the Houthis?
Well, they certainly wouldn’t be useful to native Britons,, but perhaps that is the point that you are making.
Since all requirements for an auto coup or self coup are being met, the authorities will need an army of enforcers with no loyalty to British citizens. How much more obvious does this need to become?
That and the millions of “legal” muslim and 3rd world migrants 1st, 2nd and 3rd gen who will undoubtedly stand against us when the balance tips in their favour.
TL;DR – we’re screwed. They’re going to hunt us down and exterminate us.
At the same time:
“Long-term legal immigration to the UK was provisionally estimated at 780,000 for the year ending December 2024, and declined to 627,000 for non-EU+ nationals in the year ending December 2025”.
And yet, never mentioned in “patriotic” TV, podcasts… like the Mike Graham show, Talk and GBNews.
Enough to make one think of deliberate Misdirection, used in magic and conjuring “to frame the audience’s attention toward one place (the effect) so they completely miss the secret action happening elsewhere (the cause)”.
Conjuring tricks right, left and centre. That’s how it’s done.
Bit rich coming from the tories, authors of the boris wave. They have no shame.
Yes the boats problem is of course a headache, but more so is the massive amount of mostly fraudulent “legal” immigration. Ten times as much.
Thete’s probably 10 million people in the country who could be and therefore should be deported.
The Tories can pipe down for a start as they have been pro immigration in their actions since further back than I remember.
Yes, their hypocrisy is off the scale.
