Read the original article on express.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The Express reports a small boat with 21 people landing near Dover, attributes the Home Office's account of the interception and reports plainly that crossings in 2026 are well below last year's. Its statistics passage is garbled: it calls this year's total the lowest since 2022 while printing a 2022 figure far higher than its own 2026 total.
