Prime Minister Keir Starmer suffered a severe blow when GB News was suspended due to an urgent breaking news announcement.

At least 150 migrants had crossed the English Channel this morning, according to the "unprecedented" declaration made by Ellie Costello and Nana Akua, who were covering for Eamonn Holmes. It raises the overall number of undocumented migrants to over 2,200 in March 2025 alone.

Ellie announced: "At least 150 migrants have crossed the channel illegally this morning. It's an unprecedented 10th day of small boat crossings." Nana then chimed in: "So it takes a total of crossings since the first of March to more than 2,200."

Ellie explained: "Well a third small boat is currently in the Channel and making steady progress towards British waters," before Nana cut to GB News Home and Security Editor Mark White.

Addressing viewers, Mark said: "Well this has clearly plunged the government's border security policy into even deeper crisis. 10 straight days is unprecedented at this time of the year when of course we get bad weather in the Channel. Weather conditions haven't been brilliant - okay, they've been just about passable on most days, but again today it's very difficult going out there in the Channel.

"Earlier this morning, at around 1am and then again at 5am, two small boats carrying approximately 120 migrants successfully crossed into UK waters. As of now, a third boat spotted earlier is just 15 minutes away from entering British territory. Once it does, a Border Force vessel will be on standby to intercept and transport those onboard to Dover Harbour."

He continued: "Keir Starmer has placed a strong emphasis on tackling illegal migration, focusing on dismantling criminal gangs and adopting a law-and-order approach to disrupt the networks responsible for launching these boats in increasing numbers."

"While it would have been unfair, of course, to criticise the new government just two or three or four months into office, the fact is it's been over eight months into the new Labour government with this policy - not only has it not slowed down, the numbers crossing, we are seeing unprecedented numbers at this time of the year crossing the Channel now, well over 4,000 and at least 20% up on where we were at this point last year."

Viewers echoed similar concerns, with one tweeting: "@Keir_Starmer must be held accountable. By failing to secure our borders, he is putting citizens at risk!"

Another added: "Prime Minister and Home Secretary, any response? If you ever had a plan, it’s clearly collapsing. Take action immediately!"
