Critics and political opponents argue that the government’s response has been insufficient, pointing to the continued arrival of hundreds of migrants since the new administration took power. Skeptics, including members of the Reform UK party, contend that the current measures fail to provide a sufficient deterrent, leading to calls for more aggressive actions such as the interception and return of vessels. These voices maintain that until the government demonstrates total control over the border, the public will remain unconvinced by claims of progress.
