GB News was interrupted for another update on the migrant crisis as it was announced that further crossings have taken place. 600 migrants have made the illegal journey across the English Channel, with GB News revealing that 250 set off from Belgium in a smuggling “tactical shift”. It’s another huge blow for Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who promised to “smash the gangs”.
Political Commentator Jennifer Powers analysed the “tactical changes” of the smuggling gangs who are operating in Belgium as well as France. “Until the incentive structure changes, we will continue to see a huge influx of migrants crossing the Channel,” she said. Presenter Stephen Dixon agreed: “It’s supply in demand. People still want to come here, therefore there will be people who will try to get them here.”
