The Home Office have released its latest figures on small boat crossings, and it shows that more than a thousand people have made the journey this week.

On Saturday, 803 migrants crossed the Channel on 13 small boats, making it the highest number for a daily crossing since 8 October.

Yesterday's arrivals pushed the week's total to 1,374 people on 23 boats, and the total for the year so far to 41,455 people in 671 boats, per Sky News.
