Sky News political correspondent Rob Powell has asked Nigel Farage if the Reform leader is being straight with the British public when he claims the small boat situation is getting worse.
While a record number of people crossed in a single boat last night – 230 – the overall number of crossings is down about 10,000 on this time last year.
"I’ve always thought the boats would get bigger," Farage claims.
He adds: "Yes, the overall numbers this year are down, but they’re still horrendous."
