GB News Presenter Ben Leo reveals that the Home Office is spending a staggering £1.2 million a year of taxpayer money to purchase and maintain Channel rescue boats, a fleet that has aided the crossing of more than 70,000 small boat migrants since Labour took power in July 2024.

Additionally, Labour has signed a three-year deal worth £1.6 million to repair these vessels, sparking intense criticism over the longevity of the crisis and the government’s failure to ‘smash the gangs’.

Kemi Badenoch has accused Andy Burnham – the likely next Prime Minister – of “running away” from proper media scrutiny, as prepares to take part in an “ask me anything” session on Reddit.

The Conservative leader claims Burnham is choosing to use the online social media forum because it’s “easier” than facing what she called “unbiased, neutral media scrutiny”.
