In contrast, last year's megapoll showed Reform UK winning 311 seats.The number of small-boat migrants who have reached Britain under Labour is larger than the entire British Army. 781 migrants arrived on Wednesday – the highest daily tally this year. It pushed the total since the general election to 83,279 – passing the Army's 83,000 soldiers. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said. 'Labour has let an entire army-sized population cross the Channel illegally,Education Secretary Lucy Powell came under fire last night after she denied that benefits claimants spend their handouts on drink or gambling.
