A small number of officers were injured and some vehicles damaged during a protest against small boat crossings in Portsmouth, UK, last night, police said. Hundreds blocked roads in the city after 140 migrants were brought to shore - shadow home secretary Chris Philp says people are "genuinely angry at the government's failure to stop the boats”. The government has condemned "intimidating and thuggish behaviour" at the protest. A total of 625 migrants were brought to shore in Dover and Portsmouth yesterday, according to Home Office figures - although overall, the number is down in 2026.
