41,000 people arrive in UK by boat in 2025

New figures show more than 41 thousand migrants arrived in the UK last year after crossing the English Channel.

That’s an increase of 13% on the figure for 2024 – though its 9% below the all time high reported in 2022. It’s believed at least 17 people died while attempting the crossing, though there’s no official record of fatalities.
