UK PM Burnham Vows to Be 'Relentless' on Channel Migrant Crossings As the UK government struggles to contain the flow of migrants crossing the English Channel, Prime Minister Andy Burnham has pledged to take a tougher stance on the issue.
His vow to be "relentless" in tackling the problem comes as the country records its highest daily arrival figure of 2026, with over 1,000 migrants making the perilous journey across the Channel.
While this represents a 50% decrease compared to the same period last year, it's clear that the issue is far from being brought under control.
