Laurent Nunez, France's interior minister, has declared French officers are forbidden from entering shallow waters to prevent migrant dinghies from departing, insisting their role is to protect lives rather than endanger them.

Appearing before a parliamentary commission examining UK-French migration treaties, Mr Nunez branded the practice of deflating boats near the shoreline as wholly unacceptable.

He went further by ruling out any scenario in which British vessels could bring migrants back to French beaches, saying such action would constitute a violation of French sovereignty.

The remarks amount to a direct challenge to Reform UK's flagship immigration policy, under which Nigel Farage's party has committed to deploying the Royal Navy to intercept Channel crossings and transport migrants back to France should it come to power.

These declarations arrived during a particularly intense week for Channel crossings, with 1,129 people making the journey over just four days. Wednesday alone saw 781 arrivals, establishing a new single-day record for 2026.

The year's cumulative total of 18,579 migrants represents a decline of more than 40 per cent when measured against the equivalent period in 2025.

Mr Nunez outlined a strict operational doctrine permitting action only within two defined frameworks.

🇬🇧 POLL OF THE DAY: DO YOU TRUST ANDY BURNHAM TO RESPECT THE BREXIT VOTE?

Ten years after the 2016 EU referendum, Brexit remains one of the most debated political decisions in modern British history.

The question becomes especially relevant now that Andy Burnham is Prime Minister, having taken office on 20 July 2026.

Burnham’s position on Europe has a long history. During the 2016 referendum campaign, he publicly argued for Remain, warning about the potential consequences of Brexit.

More recently, in a June 2026 interview, Burnham said he would like the UK to rejoin the EU during his lifetime, while also saying he did not support an immediate second referendum.

Since becoming Prime Minister, his government has also emphasized closer cooperation with European countries. On 20 July, Burnham spoke with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen about building a closer UK-EU relationship and working toward a UK-EU summit.

At the same time, Burnham has said his government is focused on practical domestic priorities and has described its approach as seeking common ground across the UK rather than pursuing further constitutional referendums.

And in his September 2026 UN General Assembly speech, Burnham referred directly to the 10 years since Brexit, saying Britain had experienced the disruption it brought while describing his government's aim of restoring stability and increasing trade with the wider world.

That creates an important question for voters:

🇬🇧 HOW SHOULD THE BREXIT VOTE BE INTERPRETED TODAY?

Does respecting the 2016 referendum mean:

🔵 Maintaining the UK's current position outside the EU?

🟡 Building closer cooperation with Europe without rejoining?

🟢 Eventually seeking another democratic vote on the UK's relationship with the EU?

🔴 Something else entirely?

And perhaps the biggest question:

🗳️ DO YOU TRUST ANDY BURNHAM TO RESPECT THE BREXIT VOTE?

A — YES, I TRUST HIM 🇬🇧
B — NOT SURE 🤔
C — NO, I DON'T TRUST HIM ❌

💬 Tell us WHY in the comments.

Should the government focus on implementing the consequences of the 2016 referendum? Should Britain seek closer economic and political cooperation with the EU while remaining outside it? Or should any fundamental change to the UK's relationship with Europe require another public vote?

Whatever your position, the 2016 referendum result, subsequent government policies, and Burnham's current statements are all part of the factual record that voters can consider.

🇬🇧 BREXIT. SOVEREIGNTY. DEMOCRACY. EUROPE.

The true scale of crime reports linked to the Wethersfield migrant camp can now be revealed by GB News.

RAF Wethersfield, a former military airfield in Ess*x, is currently home to around 800 predominantly male asylum seekers.

GB News analysis of Ess*x Police's public crime data has unearthed around 170 reported offences mapped to the former RAF airfield between June 2023 and July this year.

Crimes reported at the site include violence, gang feuds, s*x crimes, arson and drug offences.

By far the most common category of crime reported were violence and s*xual offences, with 97 incidents reported.

A further 25 crimes involving criminal damage and arson were reported to police, alongside 11 drug offences, 10 public order offences, eight reports of anti-social behaviour and a string of thefts and burglaries.

Ess*x Police's interactive map feature shows there were six crimes reported in July alone - drug offences, a burglary and a violent and s*xual offence.

One whistleblower has lifted the lid on the day-to-day realities of working inside the Home Office site.

They told the People's Channel: "There are groups in there who just don't get on and you can get trouble.

🇬🇧 POLL OF THE DAY: HAS LABOUR LOST CONTROL OF BRITAIN’S BORDERS? 🇬🇧
The issue of Britain’s borders remains one of the most closely watched political debates in the country. Small-boat crossings, asylum claims, returns and border enforcement continue to generate strong opinions across the UK.
The latest official figures provide a more detailed picture. In the year ending June 2026, 33,374 people were detected arriving in the UK by small boat, down 23% from the previous year. Small boats accounted for 88% of detected arrivals through illegal entry routes during that period. GOV.UK
At the same time, the Home Office reports that 80,286 returns were recorded between July 2024 and July 2026, including enforced and voluntary returns. Of these, 24,471 were asylum-related returns and 6,103 involved people who had arrived by small boat. GOV.UK
More recent provisional data also shows that 304 people arrived by small boat on 21–22 September 2026, across six boats. GOV.UK
So the debate is not simply about one number. It is about whether current policies are delivering the level of border control, enforcement and immigration management that voters expect.
Supporters of the government's approach can point to the fall in annual small-boat arrivals and increased returns. Critics may argue that tens of thousands of crossings remain too high and that the government should go further.
🇬🇧 NOW WE WANT YOUR VIEW.
🔥 HAS LABOUR LOST CONTROL OF BRITAIN'S BORDERS?
🟢 YES — More needs to be done
🟡 NOT SURE — The situation is complicated
🔴 NO — The government's measures are making progress
👇 VOTE NOW AND TELL US WHY.
Should the government focus more heavily on preventing Channel crossings? Should returns be accelerated? Should Britain increase cooperation with France and other countries? Or do the latest figures show that existing measures are beginning to have an effect?
💬 Whatever your position, explain it in the comments.
🇬🇧 Britain's borders. Britain's future. Your opinion matters.

Nigel Farage has accused Labour of "losing control" after a senior minister admitted not every boat could be stopped.

Education Secretary Lucy Powell said "[You] can’t stop everything all of the time", the day after 21 people were detained when a boat evaded Border Force to reach the beach of Samphire Hoe in Dover.

She told GB News: "Small boat crossings remain a challenge, but we have seen a significant fall this year in the number of people coming across on small boats thanks to the range of measures that this government has brought into effect.

"It does require a huge range of measures to do that, from dealing with things at source, from tackling people coming here in the first place, from the pull factors, from having strong border security, from having the tough powers that we need to detain to deport people.

"All of these things which this government has done over the last two years, are starting to bear fruit, with significant falls in the number of small boat crossings and a significant fall in the number of asylum hotels and accommodation around the country as well.

"But more needs to be done and we'll continue to do it."

Reacting to the news, the Reform UK leader said: "Multiple boats even arrived undetected. It's insane! Labour have totally lost control of our borders.

"Reform will put the Royal Navy in the Channel and return every illegal to France."

Big leadership is measured over time — through steady decisions, calm under pressure, and a commitment to serving the whole country. Many supporters see Keir Starmer as a symbol of stability and a fresh direction for the UK, valuing his focus on public services, working families, and restoring trust in politics.

From debates in Parliament to conversations with communities across the nation, his leadership style is often described as serious, disciplined, and grounded in real-world concerns rather than political drama. Supporters believe that approach is exactly what modern Britain needs: less noise, more action, and a government that concentrates on practical results that improve everyday life.

For those who back him, it’s about more than party politics — it’s about hope for stronger institutions, a fairer economy, and leadership that aims to unite rather than divide. Whether discussing the NHS, the cost of living, education, or Britain’s place on the world stage, they see a focus on long-term stability over short-term headlines.

Great prime ministers are ultimately judged by the difference they make in people’s lives. Admirers believe this leadership represents a step toward a more secure, more respectful, and more forward-looking United Kingdom — a country confident in its future and committed to opportunity for everyone 🇬🇧

🇬🇧 WE MUST PROTECT OUR PM — DO YOU AGREE?
The role of a Prime Minister comes with enormous responsibility, pressure, scrutiny and public criticism. But where should the line be drawn between legitimate political accountability and personal attacks?
Every government decision can—and should—be questioned. Citizens have every right to disagree, challenge policies, demand answers and hold political leaders accountable. At the same time, political debate can remain focused on ideas, decisions, policies and the future of the country, rather than personal hostility.
The question is simple:
👉 Should the Prime Minister receive greater protection from personal attacks and threats while continuing to face full democratic scrutiny?
Or should public figures in the highest political offices simply accept the same level of criticism that comes with being responsible for major national decisions?
🇬🇧 Your voice matters.
💬 Do you agree that we should protect our PM?
👍 YES — Protect the office and the person
🤔 MAYBE — Accountability must come first
👎 NO — Politicians should face open criticism

Three men have been arrested on suspicion of gang-raping a woman aboard a migrant boat attempting to break into Europe last week.

The suspects - alleged 21, 25 and 30 - were taken into custody by Spanish police after a woman reported the attack after reaching the shores of Lanzarote.

The ordeal is said to have occurred on September 16 during a chaotic voyage which left over a dozen people dead.

After the woman reported the r**e, a man who travelled on the vessel came forward to officers, saying he also witnessed the alleged attack take place.

The suspected gang r**e came on the same day that 65 migrants had to be rescued from a rubber dinghy while making the crossing into Europe.

Three bodies were recovered from the water during the rescue operation, with the vessel's passengers believed to have been sub-Saharan Africans who had departed from northern Morocco.

After reaching Lanzarote, the rescued migrants claimed that a further 10 people may have drowned during the journey.

Shabana Mahmood has told Border Security Command to launch a review after a series of undetected illegal Channel crossings.

The Home Secretary, said "even one” uncontrolled landing is "one too many". at Samphire Hoe, between Dover and Folkestone, on Tuesday, and near Folkestone on Monday.

She added it was "not acceptable" small boats were crossing without being detected.

GB News initially understood a third undetected crossing took place at around 9pm last night, however this has now been denied by the Home Office.

In total, 21 people were detained on Tuesday after the arrival at Samphire Hoe, with five detained on Monday. The Home Secretary described the situation as "not acceptable".

Thousands of migrants crossing the Channel are usually brought to shore by Border Security Command or RNLI boats.

Before Monday, no small boat arrivals to the UK coast without an es**rt had been officially recorded since September 6 2025. Uncontrolled landings are so rare that last year’s incident was the only other one recorded since the Home Office began keeping data in 2023.

Reform UK would win fewer seats than both Labour and the Conservatives if a general election were held today, a bombshell mega poll has revealed.

A new large-scale seat-by-seat YouGov poll projects a hung parliament, with Labour emerging as the largest party on 241 seats, followed by the Conservatives on 130 and Reform on 123.

The Conservatives would improve on their 2024 result, while Reform’s projected total represents a huge fall from YouGov’s previous MRP last September, when Farage’s party was forecast to win 311 seats.

The poll suggests Reform’s support has been hit by the emergence of Restore Britain, the rival right-wing party led by former Reform MP Rupert Lowe, as well as splits in the right-of-centre vote.

Robert Jenrick and Suella Braverman, who left the Conservatives to join Reform, would both lose their seats back to their former party under the projection.

Even if Reform and the Conservatives agreed an electoral pact, the poll suggests they would still fall short of the seats needed to form a majority government.

Labour would also struggle to govern alone, with the party projected to lose 162 of the 403 seats it currently holds and requiring support from other parties to command a majority.

The Liberal Democrats are projected to win 71 seats, while the SNP would surge to 40 and Plaid Cymru to 15, with the Greens taking nine.

YouGov’s Patrick English said Britain’s fragmented political landscape was hitting the right harder, with competing parties splitting the vote in marginal constituencies and allowing Labour to retain seats it might otherwise lose.

The poll, based on 14,000 respondents surveyed between August 23 and September 18, provides a snapshot of the current political landscape rather than a forecast of the eventual election result.
