GB News was suddenly cut for a breaking update that’s raising fresh questions about Labour’s grip on border control. A record number of small boat migrants crossed the Channel on Tuesday, with reports saying around 700 people arrived in the UK in just one day. That’s not long after 656 made the same journey on Saturday — and now, the 2025 total has jumped to nearly 9,000. That’s a sharp rise compared to 6,265 by this time last year.
It’s not a good look for Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who came into office promising to “smash the gangs” behind the crossings. But critics are saying it’s the gangs doing the smashing — not the government, reported the Express.
