The government has stated that its plan to address the migrant crisis in the English Channel and disrupt human trafficking operations is beginning to show effectiveness. The administration's approach aims to curb the increasing number of small boat crossings.

Despite the government's claims, the effectiveness and public perception of the strategy are subjects of ongoing discussion. A recent poll, "The Morning Poll: Has Andy Burnham got a grip on the small boats migrant crisis?", has invited public engagement on the matter. The results of this poll are expected to be released shortly, offering insight into public sentiment regarding the government's handling of the crisis and the performance of Andy Burnham in addressing it.
