British opposition leader Nigel Farage is warning of a “national emergency” as hundreds more illegal migrants invade the country’s shores.
Over the weekend, authorities intercepted seven small vessels carrying a total of 435 migrants who had crossed the English Channel from France, arriving at Dover on Saturday.
The latest crossings push this year’s total to more than 25,000 people, a record-breaking figure for the period, driven largely by organized human trafficking operations.

On Sunday, Nigel Farage released video footage appearing to show one of the migrant boats making its way across the Channel, carrying young men of military age.
“Illegal migrants can be heard shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ as they invade our country,” Farage wrote.
“These men will now be free to roam our streets thanks to Keir Starmer,” he continued.
“This is a national security emergency.”

Farage’s warning comes as polls increasingly show him as the frontrunner to become Britain’s next Prime Minister, with his Reform party leading most polls.
A poll of around 10,000 people released last month found that Reform would win 290 seats, putting them just short of an overall majority.

In this scenario, Farage would be forced to make a coalition agreement with another party, most likely the Conservatives.
Back in April, Farage promised to appoint a “Minister for Deportations” if his party prevails at the next general election.
“We will appoint – we will demand this Government does the same – that there is a minister for deportations,” Farage said at the time.
“It will be part of the Home Office, but it will be a separate department within it,” he continued.
“What I’m calling for isn’t actually anything particularly radical. It’s actually just common sense.”
