Starmer issues warning after record number of small boat channel crossings in one day
Sir Keir Starmer has reiterated that''nobody should be crossing the channel', a day after a record number of migrants made the journey.
Taking questions after he announced the Strategic Defence Review in Glasgow, the prime minister was grilled by GB News' Katherine Foster on his 'failure' to keep the British public 'safe in the English channel'.
He said that 'nobody should be making that journey' and that the UK is working closely with France and other nations to 'take further action' to prevent illegal crossings.
On Sunday (1 June), more than 1,100 migrants arrived in the UK, the highest number recorded on a single day so far in 2025.

The Guardian view on Israel's choice for Gaza's people: risk their lives for supplies, or starve
A full, independent investigation into the killings of Palestinians attempting to collect food for their family, and accountability for their deaths, is essential. But no investigation is needed to establish that Israel is ultimately responsible, by starving people and then implementing a food-collection scheme that cannot solve the humanitarian crisis, and which is known to be dangerous. The US, which promoted that scheme, is complicit. Health officials in Gaza say that at least 27 people were killed by Israeli fire as they awaited food on Tuesday – the third such incident in three days. (The Israeli military said troops fired at people 'moving towards [them] … in a way that posed a threat'.) Officials previously said that Israeli forces killed more than 30 Palestinians on Sunday, and another three the following day; the military said they did not shoot civilians, but fired 'warning shots'. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) – the American private organisation running the scheme – suspended operations on Wednesday for 'update, organisation and efficiency improvement work'. No update can fix this: the food scheme itself is the problem. The UN and aid agencies feared that it breached international law and refused to work with the GHF; the founding director resigned, saying that GHF would not be able to deliver aid while adhering to humanitarian principles. Senior Israeli military officials reportedly raised concerns. Many people cannot reach the sites. Those who do face a greater risk of having meagre supplies snatched by other desperate people. Essential non-food goods such as medications are not included. The risk of shootings was clear: armed American contractors run the three sites and Israeli troops control the surrounding areas. Palestinians are forced to choose – risk their lives or watch their children starve. After 11 weeks of total siege, followed by a trickle of supplies, Gaza is the hungriest place on Earth, says the UN. It was never plausible that this scheme could feed it. It is a fig leaf for Israel's continued starvation of civilians, and helps displace them to an ever smaller area. The far-right minister Bezalel Smotrich has said that Gaza will be 'entirely destroyed' so that its population will 'leave in great numbers to third countries'. In short, ethnic cleansing. The use of food as a weapon comes in addition to strikes on schools being used as shelters, the destruction of hospitals and the killing of tens of thousands of civilians. Israel's war crimes have caused public support to plummet in western Europe and fall markedly in the US. Yet politicians are lagging. Sir Keir Starmer calls the situation 'intolerable', but until the UK acts decisively it is, in reality, tolerating it. The UK, France and Canada warned of 'concrete measures' and must follow through. The US could stop this conflict tomorrow, but the European Union, Israel's biggest trading partner, also has real power. It is now reviewing its trade agreement with Israel; it should suspend it. Improving aid is a necessary but not sufficient demand. The need is created by the war. The real solution is still a ceasefire and release of the hostages seized by Hamas on 7 October 2023. As Mirjana Spoljaric, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, has warned, international law itself is being hollowed out – with profound implications for conflicts to come. As long as Israel enjoys impunity, more Palestinians die and human lives everywhere are cheapened. It must be held accountable.

England exodus exposes lack of Plan B, writes TARA ANSON-WALSH, as Sarina Wiegman faces mounting crisis ahead of Euros title defence
Three Lionesses have withdrawn their names from this summer's Euros hat, leaving Sarina Wiegman facing a mounting crisis. Less than 24 hours after Fran Kirby announced her retirement from international football following England 's 2-1 defeat to Spain, centre-back Millie Bright has also made herself unavailable for selection. Bright – who captained England during the 2023 World Cup campaign – said she was 'right now not able to give 100 per cent mentally or physically' for England's title defence in Switzerland. She follows Earps, who had fallen down Wiegman's pecking order and was likely to be starting from the bench, and Kirby, who had been told by the Dutch coach she wasn't going to make the Euros squad, out of the door. But this is not simply a crisis of who's left to start the games. Wiegman was clearly already heading in a different direction, prompting Kirby and Earps to call it a day. Bright will be more sorely missed in that respect, as she was destined to partner Leah Williamson at the heart of the Lionesses' defence this summer. However, there is a more-than-able deputy in Alex Greenwood, who can easily slot into the back three alongside Williamson and Jess Carter. What now threatens to shatter the nation's hopes of a second consecutive major European title is who is there to pick up the pieces if injury rules out another player. Wiegman refused to answer whether she asked Kirby to be on standby for the Euros, citing the question 'irrelevant', but surely having someone of the Brighton forward's stature around, with 77 caps to her name and four major tournament appearances, is relevant – and better than throwing an uncapped player in at the deep end? Over the years, Wiegman has become increasingly dependent on a small inner circle of trusted players – particularly veterans like Lucy Bronze, Keira Walsh and Georgia Stanway. Given they have 65 major trophies between them, that is understandable. And in Tuesday night's clash with Spain, Wiegman fielded a side that, with just four changes, closely resembled the one that contested the World Cup final in Sydney nearly two years ago. There is nothing inherently wrong with consistency. But what happens when that dependable core begins to fray? Right now, it appears there isn't a Plan B. Wiegman has been reluctant to refresh her ranks since taking charge, and that is proving increasingly worrying – not only for the short-term aims of England's title defence this summer, but also for the long-term health of the squad. Walsh's knee injury in the group stage of the World Cup and the subsequent panic should have been a warning sign. England rallied then, but it was a glimpse into a squad overly dependent on certain individuals. Yet since that final, Walsh has played more minutes than any other Lioness. And with the current set of players, there is no natural defensive midfielder ready to deputise should she fall again. There are further gaps in experience all over the pitch. In the goalkeeping department, Hannah Hampton is now the only capped shot-stopper in the squad. Lucy Bronze, meanwhile, is the only recognised right-back. Wiegman has suggested she sees Maya Le Tissier providing cover there, and yet the Manchester United captain has almost exclusively played as a centre-back since her top-flight debut six-and-a-half years ago. And the lack of experience behind Wiegman's trusted XI was laid bare against the world champions on Tuesday night when Bronze and Stanway were substituted to manage loads. Carter – out of position at right-back – and debutant Missy-Bo Kearns stepped in. England looked quickly devoid of control and conceded twice. Of course, against most teams a single gap will not necessarily be fatal. As it wasn't against Portugal, when Alessia Russo's injury forced Wiegman to start 21-year-old Aggie Beever-Jones – the Chelsea striker making the most of the opportunity to announce herself on the world stage with a hat-trick on her Wembley debut. Equally, when you're up against a better side when the stakes are at their highest, getting on the wrong end of these fine margins can ultimately send you home. Wiegman has taken this team to unprecedented heights, but the road ahead is demanding evolution. Get it wrong, and another major title could end up being just a pipe dream.

Police investigate heart surgery patient deaths at East Yorkshire hospital
Police have launched an investigation into the deaths of heart surgery patients at an East Yorkshire hospital. The investigation is focusing on transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures carried out on elderly and frail patients at Castle Hill hospital, near Hull. There have been no arrests in connection with the investigation, which Humberside police said was in its 'very early stages'. A BBC investigation found concerns had been raised about the deaths of 11 patients after the procedure to replace a damaged valve in the heart. It is a surgery used in people with heart disease who are not well enough for major heart surgery, as the heart does not need to be stopped, unlike in bypass surgery. However it does still carry serious risk as it involves surgeons inserting an instrument with a balloon into a leg or chest artery, which is moved into position near the opening of the aortic valve. Space for new tissue is then created by inflating the balloon, which supports the heart valve. The Humber Health Care Partnership, which runs Castle Hill through Hull university teaching hospitals NHS trust (HUTH), told the BBC that three separate reviews conducted after concerns were raised found deaths after this type of surgery at the hospital were in line with the national average. It said families who had lost loved ones were invited to ask questions and that the trust was 'happy to answer those directly'. The spokesperson said: 'Three separate external reviews of our TAVI service have been undertaken and shown that mortality rates associated with TAVI are similar to national mortality rates over a four-year period. 'The Royal College of Physicians was invited to review the service in 2021, at the request of the trust's chief medical officer. 'The Royal College report concluded that the TAVI service is essential for the Humber and North Yorkshire region and needs to be expanded. 'It stated however that the design of the service should be reviewed and invested in. The report offered a number of actions for improvement and we have delivered against all of those since it was shared with us.' A Humberside police spokesperson said: 'An investigation is in the very early stages in relation to deaths following surgery at Castle Hill hospital. Inquiries are being carried out and at this time, we can confirm no arrests have been made.'
