The leftist Labour Party government in Britain is facing its lowest approval rating due to failures in delivering key promises such as economic turnaround and controlling illegal migration. Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced large cuts to the welfare state, leading to discontent among left-wing supporters. The government's focus on criminal justice targeting of people smuggling gangs has not stemmed the tide of illegal migrants crossing the English Channel.
