    Increasingly clear — as some of us suggested at the time — that Keir Starmer’s ‘smash the people-smugglers’ was just a convenient sound bite to get him through last summer’s election campaign.
    More than 25,000 migrants have attempted to cross the Channel to the UK in small boats this year, reaching that totemic figure in record time.
    On Wednesday, 898 migrants were detected crossing the Channel. It means 25,436 arrivals have been recorded since January 1, the earliest in the year that the 25,000 figure has been surpassed.
    There have been 50 per cent more crossings so far this year, compared with the same period last year.
    Instead of being smashed the people smugglers would appear to be having a smashing time.
