GB News interrupted for major ‘breaking news’ in devastating blow to Keir Starmer

GB News was suddenly interrupted during its broadcast to share a major breaking story that has created a serious problem for Keir Starmer.

The news revealed that more than 10,000 migrants arriving on small boats have already crossed the English Channel into the UK this year, and the year is not even halfway through yet. This high number has been reached much earlier than it was last year, which has raised a lot of concerns.

A reporter from GB News said this situation is a major setback for Keir Starmer because he had promised to crack down on the criminal gangs responsible for organizing these dangerous crossings. His pledge to take strong action against these gangs is now being questioned as the problem seems to be getting worse instead of better.

The live update continued by saying that today alone, five small boats made it across the Channel, bringing dozens of people. The migrants were picked up by a Border Force ship called Hurricane and brought safely into the port of Dover this morning.

Mark White, who is GB News’ Home and Security Editor, explained that the calm and flat weather on the English Channel is one of the reasons why so many people are risking the journey right now.

When the waters are calm, it becomes easier and less dangerous for small boats to make the crossing. Because of the good weather, more crossings are expected over the next 48 hours. Authorities are preparing for even more arrivals over the coming days.

Chris Philp, a Shadow Minister, also spoke about the situation. He said that 2025 is shaping up to be the worst year in history for illegal crossings across the Channel. He strongly criticized the Labour Party, blaming them for making the situation worse by scrapping the Rwanda deportation scheme.

Philp argued that without tough deterrents like the Rwanda plan, more people feel encouraged to try to cross the Channel illegally, leading to these record numbers.

This is still a developing situation, and new updates are expected to come in throughout the day.
