UK: Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has ordered an urgent review after two migrant boats reached beaches in Kent without being intercepted by Border Force. Twenty-one people were detained after a boat landed at Samphire Hoe, near Dover, on Tuesday, while five were detained after another boat reached Folkestone on Monday. They are the first undetected landing in more than a year. Mahmood described the incidents as “not acceptable”, saying: “Our improved monitoring has led to uncontrolled crossings becoming incredibly rare. But even one is one too many.” Join EJN:
