The English Channel has seen a huge surge in small boat arrivals on Saturday, after bad weather prevented Channel migrant crossings for almost a week.

GB News can reveal that around 600 Channel migrants made it to UK waters in 12 small boats.

Several Border Force vessels and the Dover lifeboat have attended multiple small boat sightings since the early hours.

Criminal people smuggling gangs took advantage of a short improvement in the weather and a very high tide, to push the boats off from a huge stretch of beach.
