GANGS are offering illegal migrants festive discounts on Channel crossings.

Ads for people smugglers’ cut-price deals have appeared on social media.

Pages on social media have advertised journeys at reduced prices over the festive periodGetty

One Albanian advert on TikTok boasts of a “100 per cent success rate” for entry into the UK.

Another page advertised journeys that normally cost £8,000 per person for £5,000 over Christmas.

Meanwhile on Instagram, a page offered a space on a lorry at a “sale price” for a December 20 trip.

Another post read: “One person, £6,000. Two people, £5,000 each.”

One ad even offers to smuggle people in by plane for £14,000 per person.

It comes after MPs warned gangs will use the Tory civil war over immigration as part of their marketing campaigns.

Last week Rishi Sunak faced the first parliamentary hurdle for his emergency Bill to rescue the ailing Rwanda scheme.

It was dealt a blow as the Minister in charge of it, Robert Jenrick, resigned and said it will not work.
