"The home secretary is set to outline reforms to the immigration system after the government endured a summer dominated by criticism over the small boats crisis and asylum hotels. Yvette Cooper will give a statement to MPs on Monday as they return to Westminster for the first time since July. She will say the government's overhaul of the broken asylum system will contribute to ending the use of asylum hotels, an issue which has led to widespread protests over the summer. And she will claim that the government's promise to smash the gangs behind English Channel crossings is showing results in stopping people arriving in the first place. August saw the lowest number of arrivals from channel crossings since 2021, but the 29,003 people who have crossed over the whole of 2025 so far represents the highest tally on record for this point of the year."
