Mr. Cleverly announced on X that there were no small boat arrivals during Christmas, which is the first time this has happened since 2018.

Earlier today, Mr. Farage expressed that Cleverly's intelligence is in question, as he believes Cleverly is unintelligent despite his name.

I am almost near Dover at the moment, and the wind has been blowing at a speed of 50mph. This is the reason why there are no migrations happening at this time.

"All individuals who engage in deception and dishonesty shall face the loss of their positions during the election."

Before the upcoming general election scheduled in 2024, the Reform Party, which was once led by Mr. Farage, plans to participate in all constituencies, even against the Tories. The recent attack took place around this time.

The ex-UKIP MEP decided not to pursue a challenge in 2019. He mentioned that his Brexit Party (which was the precursor to Reform) would refrain from running in areas where the Conservatives were already in power.

Activists and MPs who align with the conservative party's right-wing are considering Mr. Farage as a possible rescuer if the polls continue to show that Labour has a significant lead, while Reform's numbers currently stand at approximately 10%.

The head of Reform, Richard Tice, has suggested that Mr Farage could potentially return to politics following his appearance on the TV show "I'm a Celebrity" on ITV.

What could we expect in 2024? Perhaps we'll see some tax reductions, the appointment of a fresh prime minister, and the return of Nigel Farage to the political stage.

On December 27th, Mr. Cleverly made a statement following the government's attempt to declare a triumph in the matter of small boat crossings, stating that they had decreased by one-third when compared to the previous year, 2022.

In the year 2023, approximately 29,000 individuals have migrated, which is a decrease from the previous year's headcount of roughly 46,000.

Rishi Sunak has promised to put a stop to boats carrying illegal migrants, and has made dealing with this issue a top priority.

The administration is presently attempting to pass their third law to initiate the Rwanda deportation scheme, which has been met with controversy. Nevertheless, there has been opposition from the conservative wing of the Tory party, who believe that the law lacks stringency.
