Record Migrant Channel Crossings Spark Government Criticism

Migrant Crossings Surge: GB News Criticizes Labour's Border Policy The number of migrants crossing the English Channel has reached record levels, prompting criticism from GB News. In a recent video, the news outlet highlighted the issue, showcasing footage of numerous small boats carrying migrants. The video features Jacob Rees-Mogg, who stated, "The most important duty of any government is the defence of the realm, and within less than a year of taking office, this Government has failed in this obligation." He further criticized the Labour government's decision to repeal the Rwanda legislation, arguing that it removed a key deterrent. The video presents statistics illustrating the sharp increase in crossings, placing the UK on track for over 70,000 crossings this year. GB News's report underscores the urgency of the situation and raises concerns about the government's approach to border control. The report concludes with a call for stronger action to address the crisis.
