A total of 781 migrants crossed the English Channel on Wednesday, the highest number recorded on a single day so far this year. Sky News reported the figure on Wednesday, citing ongoing crossings by small boats from France to the UK. The Channel migration issue continues to be one of the most politically charged topics in Britain, with numbers closely watched by campaigners and critics of government policy alike.
