New PM Andy Burnham faces immediate pressure as small boat arrivals surge past his predecessor’s first week — over 880 migrants reached Kent, dwarfing Starmer’s 546 and even Boris Johnson’s 35 in 2019.

Complicating matters, a French beach stabbing may have spurred some migrants to flee to Britain — French authorities investigate, while the UK’s National Crime Agency charges a 19-year-old for allegedly steering a dangerous vessel. Over 77,000 arrivals since Labour’s election, down from last year, but experts watch for a rebound — as the Home Office claims record removals and falling asylum claims.
