UK: Prime Minister Andy Burnham has pledged his government will be “relentless” in tackling the number of people arriving in the UK on small boats. He said progress had been made and the government was “changing the whole approach”, with the number of enforcement officers targeting people-smuggling gangs doubled on both sides of the Channel. The Home Office said the number of National Crime Agency officers tackling smuggling gangs had risen to almost 800, from 376 at the start of 2025. Burnham said the number of French officers had also doubled. Join EJN: https://wa.me/447443160130?text=Hi!%20I%20would%20like%20to%20subscribe%20to%20the%20EJN.%20My%20name%20is:%20
