Channel migrant crossings resume as 74 arrive in the UK after two-week pause Migrants have reached the United Kingdom after crossing the English Channel for the first time in two weeks, according to reports and official data. On Wednesday, people wearing life jackets and coats were seen disembarking from a Border Force vessel in Ramsgate, Kent, following a period of poor weather that had prevented attempted crossings. A temporary improvement in conditions is believed to have enabled several small boats to set off from northern France. Home Office figures indicate that 74 migrants arrived on Tuesday, marking the first successful crossing since 9 February, when 322 people reached UK shores. In total, 597 people have crossed the Channel so far this month. The latest arrivals come amid continued political and public debate over the handling of small boat crossings and border security. The renewed crossings follow the publication of findings from an independent inquiry into the deadliest Channel incident on record. The investigation examined the capsizing of an overcrowded inflatable boat on the night of 23–24 November 2021, which resulted in the deaths of 27 men, women and children. Four additional people remain missing. Only two survivors were discovered in French waters nearly 12 hours after the first distress calls were made. Led by Sir Ross Cranston and costing more than £7 million, the inquiry concluded that some of the deaths were avoidable. It identified systemic failures, missed opportunities and chronic staff shortages in the UK’s maritime response as contributing factors in the unsuccessful rescue effort. The report stated that small boat crossings 'must end' to prevent further loss of life, underscoring ongoing concerns about safety, coordination and border management in the Channel.

UK Requires British Passport or Certificate of Entitlement for Dual Nationals Under New ETA Rules British dual nationals who do not hold a valid British passport may be denied entry to the United Kingdom starting 25 February 2026, as the government begins enforcing its Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme. Under the new rules, dual nationals will no longer be able to travel to the UK using only a foreign passport. Instead, they must present either a valid British passport or a Certificate of Entitlement, which costs £589. Without one of these documents, airlines, ferry operators, and train companies may refuse boarding. Although British and Irish citizens are exempt from applying for an ETA, transport carriers are now required to verify that passengers have appropriate documentation before departure. Since British citizens are not eligible to apply for an ETA or visa, dual nationals must prove their right to enter the UK through official British documentation. Previously, dual nationals could travel on a foreign passport alone, though they sometimes faced delays while Border Force officers confirmed their citizenship status. The Home Office has stated that it has been advising dual nationals since October 2024 to ensure they have the correct documents. Applying for a British passport costs £94.50, significantly less than the Certificate of Entitlement. Those who already possess a physical certificate will receive a digital version but must create a UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account to link it to their foreign passport. The ETA scheme, which costs £16 and will eventually rise to £20, is part of the government’s plan to create a fully digital and more secure border system. It allows multiple visits of up to six months over a two-year period. The system is similar to the European Union’s planned ETIAS travel authorisation framework.

Tommy Robinson boarded a flight to Tenerife despite being “wanted” for questioning over an alleged assault at St Pancras.

A border loophole meant the alert was issued after online check-in, bypassing security watch lists.

Facts about homelessness in London How many homeless people are there in London? Are these figures rising or falling? Facts about homelessness in London and how you can help.

Keir Starmer - housing Migrants ahead of our own sleeping rough is so wrong. Upwards of 17,000 have now crossed in boats this year - do we give £400M to the French, to hand out life jackets?

More illegal migrants crossed the Channel under Keir Starmer than his Tory predecessors. Labour’s soft stance is failing us. #Migrant #KeirStarmer #UKBorder #Immigration

Did you know you can't print a Eurostar ticket now without pre-registering your passport details so the Home Office can control their f'ing #ukborder?
