Keir Starmer has been dealt his biggest blow yet as GB News was halted for a breaking update on the ongoing illegal migrant crisis. The programme was interrupted to announce that the number of illegal migrants arriving in the UK by small boat has officially reached its highest level under any Prime Minister. GB News' Home and Security Editor Mark White appeared on the programme alongside presenter Martin Daubney and credited his colleague Jack Walters for "delving deep" into the shocking figures. He said: "We can reveal that Boris Johnson's total of 65,815 migrants who arrived in his 39 months in office has now been surpassed in about half that time, 19 months in office, by Sir Keir Starmer."
