Summary
Over 100 migrants reached Dover yesterday, capitalizing on record-breaking May heat and calm seas—part of a week where nearly 1,000 crossed in 13 boats. Border Force stepped in to process arrivals as the Home Office pushes ahead with an AI facial recognition system to spot adults falsely claiming child status, a move sparking human rights concerns but defended as vital to protect genuine child refugees. Meanwhile, a new poll shows 70% of voters oppose Labour’s plan to move English language tests online, fearing reduced security. Three migrants were charged this weekend for endangering lives during crossings, while three others are already jailed for illegal entry—some arriving Friday and Saturday—with court dates set for later this month and next.
