Fury as only 3% of small boat migrants have been deported since 2018
ONLY three per cent of small boat migrants have been deported since 2018, figures show.
More than 8,000 extra arrivals are in hotels since last year’s election and asylum claims have hit a high.

Ministers have been urged to find a way to stop the waves of Channel migrants costing taxpayers billions of pounds.
Statistics show just 4,995 of the 147,849 small boat arrivals since 2018 have been kicked out.
The rooms occupied figure rose from 29,585 to 38,079 in the second half of 2024 — at a cost of about £4.5million a day.
By December, 112,187 asylum seekers were taking government accommodation and subsistence.
Asylum claims rose 18 per cent in 2024 to 108,000. The previous high, in 2002, was 103,000.
And 162,000 migrants were granted settled status last year.
Tory Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: “With no deterrent, and an obsession with rewarding criminal migrants with British passports, today’s figures are no surprise.
“Despite promising to end hotel usage for asylum seekers, the numbers are up again and they are costing Britons dear . . . waves of illegals crossing the Channel.”
Border Minister Dame Angela Eagle said Labour inherited a “broken asylum system”, adding that 19,000 illegal immigrants had been removed since July.

‘Can’t get one from grocery store’ – Boehly explains unique transfer strategy to angry Chelsea fans after £1.2bn spend
CHELSEA co-owner Todd Boehly has opened up about the club’s controversial transfer strategy – after spending over £1.2billion since 2022.
The American was targeted by fan protests ahead of the Blues’ 4-0 win over Southampton earlier this week.



Boehly came out in defence of his leadership during an appearance at the FT Business of Football Summit on Thursday.
The LA Dodgers owner directly addressed the protests, claiming: “Criticism is just par for the course.
“The sooner you learn you won’t keep all the people happy all the time that brings freedom.”
Boehly’s reign has seen immense spending, with £1.15billion spent on over 40 players.
Chelsea have also dished out contracts of up to TEN years to numerous stars, including Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia and Cole Palmer.
Defending the strategy, Boehly insisted: “Strikers are hard to find. You can’t get one from the grocery store.
“It’s an amazing skillset and you have to have a fantastic mentality.
“The most misunderstood thing is that we’re thinking about it measured in years, not months.

“You have to think both short and long-term. We’re focused on a combination of both and seeking the best possible way to execute that. It’s a balancing act to figure that out.
“You have to have a plan and exercise it, accept that things are not linear and that the thing that matters is that the trend is in the right direction.”
Boehly admits his first foray into English football has come with a “learning curve”.
Chelsea have finished 12th and 6th in the Premier League over the past two seasons, failing to lift a trophy.
They looked set to mount a title challenge before Christmas, only for their form to fall off in the past two months.
He continued: “We’ve been here for less than three years and that’s been a whirling dervish of activity. Nothing is a straight line, ever and sport is so humbling.
“If you look at contracts in football, a seven-year contract is really a five-year contract.
“The reality that 95 per cent of the time by then you have to make a decision or you’ll shoot yourself in the foot.
Chelsea ratings vs Southampton as Cole Palmer STILL can't score or assist... and gets a horror grade

CHELSEA reverted to winning ways as they smashed Southampton 4-0 at Stamford Bridge.
Goals from Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto, Levi Colwill and Marc Cucurella set the Blues on their way to victory.
But there was STILL no joy in front of goal for Cole Palmer.
So, who was Chelsea’s best player on the night? And who had a game to forget despite the result?

“At that point, you either agree an extension with the player or that greener pastures are out there for both sides.
“If you deny that you are kidding yourself.
“We felt the longer contracts meant we could amortise but it was also about how we put together a team with the ability to stay together.
“Teams that are dynasties over the years had superstar captains that were able to lead. But how do you find those superstar captains?
“And in football, the market is obviously across multiple countries – so you’re thinking France, Germany, Brazil, Latin America – basically everywhere around the world.”
