Sunak's Plan to Stop Small Migrant Boats Working, Says UK PM

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has claimed that his plan to stop migrants arriving in small boats has reduced crossings by 20%, hoping to ease criticism from his party and the public over immigration policy. Sunak has been criticised for not moving quickly enough, with people protesting about the housing of hundreds of migrants in hotels after record numbers arrived in Britain last year. The opposition Labour Party said Sunak had failed to clear the backlog of tens of thousands of asylum claims and that 7,600 people had crossed the English Channel so far this year.
