The United Kingdom government has stated that its strategy to address the migrant crisis in the English Channel, which includes efforts to "smash the gangs," is beginning to show positive outcomes. This assertion comes as part of a public poll initiated by The Morning Poll to gauge public sentiment on the effectiveness of the government's approach and Mayor Andy Burnham's management of the situation.
The government's plan aims to disrupt organized crime networks involved in facilitating illegal crossings of the Channel. Officials believe these measures are starting to work. The Morning Poll is soliciting public opinion through a survey, with results intended for publication in the upcoming Morning Mail newsletter. The poll specifically asks whether the public believes Andy Burnham has control over the small boats migrant crisis.
