Rishi Sunak has made stopping small boats arriving in the UK one of his government's main priorities since becoming prime minister last October.
But continued crossings, a large backlog of asylum claims and legal challenges to the government's policies have hampered their efforts.
Nearly 15,000 migrants have crossed the English Channel in boats this year.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman was working on contingency plans to erect the tents in the coming weeks, with a surge of boats expected.
So, fun times ahead I suspect.
