Priti Patel's pledge to crack down on migrants is left in tatters as it emerges 336 people have already crossed Channel into Britain this month Priti Patel's pledge to crack down on migrants crossing the Channel in small boats is in tatters after a record number reached Britain this monthMiss Patel insists that tackling the crisis is a 'top priority' but MPs and ex-border chiefs warned last night she has failed to 'get a grip'.
Since the start of the year, 802 migrants have arrived on the beaches of Kent and Sussex in flimsy vessels. Another 246 reached the UK in December, including 60 on Christmas Day.
But in October, when Mrs Patel launched the crackdown with her French counterpart, just 58 made it to Britain.
