GB News was halted for a major breaking news announcement in a major blow to Keir Starmer , as it has been confirmed that the number of small boat migrants reaching the UK this year has passed 10,000 already. This huge number has been met weeks earlier than 2024, as the GB News reporter said it was a "blow to Keir Starmer 's pledge to smash the gangs". They continued: "Five boats landed today along with the border force vessel Hurricane bringing them into Dover this morning.
" The channel's Home and Security Editor Mark White said that the flat and calm water of the English Channel was sparking the rise in crossings, with "more crossings to be expected over the next 48 hours". 2025 is said to be the "worst year in history for illegal channel crossings" by Shadow minister Chris Philp, as he blamed the Labour party's decision to scrap the Rwanda scheme, calling the numbers "worse than ever". This is a breaking live TV story, the Showbiz Express.
