(BBC) More than 2,000 migrants crossed the English Channel over the weekend.
The Ministry of Defence said 1,160 people arrived in Kent on Sunday in 25 boats. On Saturday 960 people arrived.
The latest crossings mean the total number of migrants for 2022 is already approaching the tally for the whole of last year. This year’s tally now stands at 27,415.
The Dover MP, Natalie Elphicke, says tackling the issue must be a top priority for the new prime minister.
A group of young boys were among those seen arriving on a boat in Dover on Monday morning.
