The Telegraph's Valerie Browne went down to Dover to see for herself how migrants are arriving into the port in dinghies.

An influx of Albanian migrants is expected on Friday as people smugglers advertise “100,000% secure” boats in good weather.

The traffickers posted adverts on TikTok on Tuesday night offering safe journeys to exploit the return of calmer seas after more than a week of storms and rains prevented all but 50 migrants crossing the Channel.

One, with a background picture of Albanians on a small boat in the Channel, said: "Journey to England on a boat. Start of the journey from Calais. Arrival Dover. Super secure. Secure 100,000%. Start of the journey 11th of this month."

Ministers fear as many as 10,000 more migrants could reach the UK by the end of the year as November has become the peak month because of migrant farm workers moving north to the French beaches after the autumn harvest.

The surge will put the asylum processing centre at Manston in Kent under fresh pressure after the Home Office dispersed more than 2,800 migrants to hotels and other accommodation from the “catastrophically overcrowded” site to reduce numbers to 1,147.
