so far this year, nine people have lost their lives trying to reach the uk. well, as you can see from this, you might look at this at first hand and think that's a sturdy piece of equipment. it's really not. it's a death trap. the poor quality of the rubber is like a bouncy castle. if there's a puncture in one bit, it's all going to go down. these life jackets are very, very poor quality. last year, more than 29,000 people crossed the channel in small boats — that represented a fall of more than a third on 2022. but so far this year, around 4,300 people have made the journey — an increase of 17% on the same period last year, despite government pledges to stop the boats. the boats have been getting bigger with more and more people packed on to them. when the crossings became a regular thing five years ago, there was an average of seven people per boat, now, it's more like 50. the home office says its recent social media activity in albania helped contribute to a fall of 90% in arrivals from there. and the home secretary told me the new campaign isjust one

yeah, so a bit like in the uk. a parliament is elected with a five—year mandate, and within that time period, you form a government off the basis of having a majority within the parliament. and the current coalition government, it's a three—party government, it retains a comfortable enough majority within the parliament, so they will be changing the prime minister. so this is a bit similar to the manner in which in the uk, in westminster, you've had a number of changes of prime minister — too many, one would argue — in recent years, and it hasn't precipitated a general election. so, we are due to have a general election under our constitution by march, at the latest, of next year. and simon harris, as taoiseach, will now see out that term in office. here in the uk, the chancellor has confirmed that the conservatives will commit to keeping the so—called triple—lock on pension increases in their election manifesto. under the current government system, state pensions rise every year in april, in line with
