More than 600 migrants have crossed the English Channel in a new daily record for 2023, days after Rishi Sunak claimed his plan to stop the boats was working.Figures released by the Home Office show that 616 people arrived in 12 boats on Sunday, bringing the total so far this year to around 8,400.At the same point last year, the total had just passed 10,000, and last Monday the prime minister hailed the reduction as proof that our approach is working.
