Small Boat Watch

About Small Boat Watch

SmallBoatWatch is an independent app published by Reform UK. It is not a government app. It does not represent, and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of the UK Government, the Home Office or any other government entity.

SmallBoatWatch gives you the daily numbers on small boat crossings of the English Channel, in one place.

ABOUT THE DATA
Crossing figures are official Home Office statistics, taken from these GOV.UK publications:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/migrants-detected-crossing-the-english-channel-in-small-boats
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/migrants-detected-crossing-the-english-channel-in-small-boats
Cost figures are estimates calculated by Reform UK. They are not official statistics and are not endorsed by the Home Office.

TODAY AT A GLANCE
The running total of crossings recorded since 2018, the figure for the latest day in the data, and an estimated cost for the week.

DAY BY DAY
Every day since 2018, in one list. See how the latest day compares with the days and weeks before it.

WHOSE WATCH
The record of each Prime Minister: crossings during their time in office, the daily average, and the estimated cost.

DAILY ALERT
Opt in to one notification a day with the latest figure. Nothing else, no noise. Turn it off any time in Settings.

SHARE THE FIGURE
Send the day's number to anyone, as a graphic built for sharing.

Sign in with your email address and a one-time code — no password to remember. You can delete your account and its data from inside the app at any time.

Every figure in the app links back to its GOV.UK source under Settings, so you can check it yourself.

SmallBoatWatch is available in the United Kingdom only.
