Overview
- GB News reports 655 arrivals on Monday after 212 on Sunday in four boats, with a further 73 brought in late at night by a Border Force vessel.
- The 2025 year‑to‑date total has reached 28,938, running about 50 percent higher than the same point last year.
- GB News says no migrants have been returned to France under the one‑in, one‑out pilot since its August 5 start, despite 3,502 arrivals during that period.
- Under the pilot, UK authorities can refer new arrivals for return within three days and France can identify an equivalent number for relocation to Britain during a three‑month window, with the trial slated to run for 11 months.
- Photos from beaches near Calais show women and children wading neck‑deep toward a dinghy before officers intervened and led them back to shore after a brief weather break enabled crossings.
