was he and only he who could stop the tide. yet it got worse. todayit stop the tide. yet it got worse. today it emerged the home office spent a whopping £3.6 billion on asylum support in 20 2223, nearly double the year before. astonished rishi has made things worse. his pledge to clear a backlog of nearly 100,000 old asylum claims has created a logjam of new claims. asylum claims has created a logjam of new claims . yes, the logjam of new claims. yes, the lunatics have finally taken over our asylum system. but before you say oh well, at least things can't get any worse , the answer can't get any worse, the answer is they can. a lot worse. if labour get into power because, like rishi keir starmer likes to talk tough on borders , but like talk tough on borders, but like rishi, he'll be another chocolate teapot. yvette cooper his shadow home secretary is basically gary lineker in a wig and most labour share . most and most labour share. most labour mps share her refugees welcome stance to in february

20th, 2053 bleeding heart mps, including labour luminaires at the time, jeremy corbyn, diane abbott, david lammy and nadia whittome succeed aided in grounding a flight loaded with 43 foreign criminals about to be deported to jamaica . three of deported to jamaica. three of those criminals went on to reoffend , including one arnesto reoffend, including one arnesto elliot , who brutally stabbed elliot, who brutally stabbed a man to death. yet ms whittam called them vulnerable people, adding refugees need protection, not deport nation. whose side are these people on.7 some 9346 have crossed the channel illegally. this year, including at least 1500 this week and over 300 today. say we have absolutely no idea who any of these people are . we now no these people are. we now no longer know who walks among us. of course, they're not all bad apples. some made genuinely be fleeing war zones, but they could have claimed asylum in france. mind you, have you been

to paris recently .7 but it's to paris recently? but it's delusional and danger worse for the lineker rights to claim that they're all saints to enable security sources leaked to the daily mail reveal that there are at least 19 terrorists living at full taxpayer's expense , full taxpayer's expense, including islamic state members who came here in dinghies. including islamic state members who came here in dinghies . but who came here in dinghies. but this is likely to be just the tip of the iceberg . surely it's tip of the iceberg. surely it's time to cry . enough tip of the iceberg. surely it's time to cry. enough is tip of the iceberg. surely it's time to cry . enough is enough tip of the iceberg. surely it's time to cry. enough is enough. so how can we make britain safe again? well, we could declare a national state of emergency to stem the tide of illegals arriving here by dinghy in april , italian premier giorgia meloni did just that. boats filled with illegals were forced to dock in france. we could enforce existing un convention laws on national security and tow boats back to france . we could hold a back to france. we could hold a referendum on the membership of the echr new to the human rights lawyers and deport all terrorists and foreign criminals. we could also even

arm the police. but that , my arm the police. but that, my friends, that would take guts . friends, that would take guts. and we just don't have gutsy leaders like giorgia meloni in britain . we have spineless sunak britain. we have spineless sunak who shouts at the sea but cannot stop the tide, and a parliament, pubuc stop the tide, and a parliament, public service, judiciary and a mainstream media stuffed with refugees. welcome virtual signallers who are completely out of touch with the public mood . and today we say it's time mood. and today we say it's time to declare a state of emergency dodi. it's time to close our borders to illegals. it's time to make britain safe again . so to make britain safe again. so tonight i am asking how do we make britain safe again? should we close the borders? should we deport all foreign criminals? should we even arm the police? well, let me know what you think. email the usual way. gb views at gb news .com or tweet us, of course, at .

us, of course, at. gb news. so keeping on that story, is it time to declare a state of emergency? well, i'm joined now by leader of the reform by the leader of the reform party, richard tice, an old sparring partner of mine over in brussels. well, we stuck it to them. we certainly did, martin, good good evening. is good evening. good evening. is it to go full maloney it time to go full maloney because i'm not seeing anything remotely changing despite billions of extra billions of pounds of extra money going into loads of money going into it. loads of hot air, loads of chest puffing , but no decisive action. of course, we should definitely teetare— course, we should definitely declare that _ course, we should definitely declare that there is a national eeuet— declare that there is a national eeuet natty— declare that there is a national secured motty threat, which we're entitled _ secured motty threat, which we're entitled to do under arttete— we're entitled to do under article nine— we're entitled to do under article nine of— we're entitled to do under article nine of the un 51 convention. _ article nine of the un 51 convention. ' article nine of the un 51 convention. rit�*t: 1 article nine of the un 51- convention. akua and reform uk. we've been calling this for well over a year now. it's the first part of our six point plan and this is the only plan and we are the only party. martin that will stop the boats. so that's the first thing you have to do. you then make it absolutely clear that zero are allowed to resettle here, that you will have offshore processing centres. but here's the rub . you

centres. but here's the rub. you then got to say that you're going to have a completely new department of immigration staffed by people who believe in the cause of safe and secure borders. that's absolutely fundamental. and then then on you do what the australians did. you safely pick people up out of the boats and you take them back to france from where they came again, which you're allowed to do. martin under existing international law. so the big question is, richard, if we're allowed to do all of this, why don't we do it? because they are weak. they are feeble, they are gutless . they don't have the gutless. they don't have the courage and the decisive leadership to actually do this and to protect british citizens. you've mentioned some examples. there tragically, there are many , many more examples where asylum seekers who've either outstayed their right to stay or are foreign criminals who haven't been deported , and every haven't been deported, and every single foreign criminal should be deported the moment they leave prison, that they've then

gone on to carry out hideous, violent and sometimes deadly crimes . and i think the british crimes. and i think the british people actually we have had enough. and they want some action. but it does require guts and there's no guts, frankly, within anywhere near the levers of power in the main, two parties in westminster. okay. let's let's just have a- parties in westminster. okay. let's let's just have a bit- " okay. let's let's just have a bit of tatanee— let's let's just have a bit of tatanee en— let's let's just have a bit of balance on that. - let's let's just have a bit of balance on that. so people would say,— balance on that. so people would eay, nett— balance on that. so people would eay, wag, tt-e— balance on that. so people would say, well, it's all— balance on that. so people would say, well, it's all fine to say gang— say, well, it's all fine to say getng te— say, well, it's all fine to say we're going to declare a state of we're going to declare a state at emergency,— we're going to declare a state of emergency, but the lawyers nan-t— of emergency, but the lawyers nan-t etant— of emergency, but the lawyers won't stand for— of emergency, but the lawyers won't stand for it.— of emergency, but the lawyers won't stand for it. france wen-t — won't stand for it. france won't. they've- won't stand for it. france won't.

as well. the moment you do that , it then actually you're into a much better place and you don't have to just use a rwanda, although i was interested that countries like germany, a member of the european union, is now looking at a rwanda plan because they know they've got a problem . also use british . but we could also use british overseas territories, for example . there are a number of example. there are a number of different places where faeroe islands, falklands , there's a islands, falklands, there's a number of different places . number of different places. what about building an island like what about building an island ttte-nreneeet— what about building an island like proposed the bill. like boris proposed the bill. nette— like boris proposed the bill. none-ter— like boris proposed the bill. none-tare - like boris proposed the bill. boris-for ? he- like boris proposed the bill. boris for ? ti; like boris proposed the bill.- boris -for ? he wants an boris island for? he wants an atrpart. rean— boris island for? he wants an airport. yeah, but— boris island for? he wants an airport. yeah, but what- boris island for? ti; yeah, but what about airport. yeah, but what about turning— airport. yeah, but what about tuttttng an— airport. yeah, but what about building an island— yeah, but what about building an island where we count— building an island where we could-container- could put a container centre? we could put a container centre? rue tan-t— could put a container centre? rue tan-t neat— could put a container centre? we don't need to. _ could put a container centre? we don't need to. we've- could put a container centre? we don't need to. we've got existing territories. existing overseas territories. all we can arrangements with all we can do arrangements with rwanda. and let's remember rwanda. and let's remember rwanda was actually praised by un reports for the progress and the help that it's been given in actually supporting refugees from other african countries. what's the mood on the streets about where we're at at the moment? obviously, people are exaeneratet— moment? obviously, people are exasperated and _ moment? obviously, people are exasperated and do— 7 obviously, people are exasperated and do you think we're reaching— exasperated and do you think we're reaching some sort of tipping— we're reaching some sort of tipping point— we're reaching some sort of tipping point, sort of tipping point, some sort of rent— tipping point, some sort of. netnt—nrttten point where the great british

the states, this idea that you must vote for the democrat party if you're black, kanye west, of course, causing of trouble course, causing a lot of trouble about we break this about that. how do we break this mentality ? motty it would be mentality? motty it would be very difficult, martin, because in some ways, this mentality , in some ways, this mentality, this toxic mentality has become embedded and, um, among among elements of the british political left and i think that is a serious problem that people expect voters to subscribe to a particular set of liberal values , jus purely because on the purely on the basis of the colour of their skin, i think that kind of that kind of mentality has no place in a mature, multiracial democracy . mature, multiracial democracy. and i think what i argue for in the and i think what i argue for in tne teet. — and i think what i argue for in the book. martin— and i think what i argue for in the book. martin is actually the tateur— the book. martin is actually the tateur natty— the book. martin is actually the labour party needs to be more eeen— labour party needs to be more open-embracing— labour party needs to be more open embracing the open to embracing the traditional— open to embracing the traditional of faith, traditional triad of faith, tantty— traditional triad of faith, tantty ant— traditional triad of faith, family and flag. many ethnic ntnertty— family and flag. many ethnic minority people— family and flag. many ethnic minority people in britain do not minority people in britain do net eee— minority people in britain do not see themselves as victims as tney— they appreciate the opportunities , protections and opportunities, protections and treetene— opportunities, protections and treetene-te- opportunities, protections and freedoms to them under freedoms afforded to them under entren— freedoms afforded to them under british democracy— freedoms afforded to them under british democracy .— freedoms afforded to them under british democracy . and if you british democracy. and if you aetuatty— british democracy. and if you aetuatty tt— british democracy. and if you actually if you _ british democracy. and if you actually if you see a number of

here next point from nina ricci is a gutless, weak prime minister nina, speak your mind freely. a bit more next time. who wasn't voted into that position in the first place? we need a leader who will take action and not let off hot air and on the topic of boris morris says boris is being bullied by parliament by any definition , parliament by any definition, constantly picking on somebody is bullying. well that's your thoughts. it's been quite an eventful week in westminster. some laughter to my left and right panels about to kick in because just hours before boris johnson resigned as an mp last week, his resignation honours were published, which led to a pubuc were published, which led to a public squabble between the former and current prime minister. then when boris did resign, he publicly lambasted the privileges committee for what he deemed to be a witch hunt and a kangaroo court , where hunt and a kangaroo court, where the public will have teetering on the edge of their seats awaiting the publication of that report with delays setting in as a result of printing problems,

of all things . and finally, just of all things. and finally, just yesterday, the report was published and it had recommended a suspension of 90 days, a sanction well past the threshold of ten days that could have allowed boris constituents to trigger a by—election if a majority in parliament had approved it. well none of that matters now because he's resigned , of course, but resigned, of course, but parliament will vote on monday, irrespective of whether to let the to back the reports recommendations, which also include permanently removing bods include permanently removing boris paul coyte mentary pass all of this poses much broader questions, the most crucial of which is being is this the end for boris johnson? well joining me now to hopefully answer this question is the former editor of the sunday mirror, paul coney, and the political commentator benjamin loughnan. so hello to you both. let's start with you , you both. let's start with you, paul you both. let's start with you, paul, because you were away there . has been unfairly there. has boris been unfairly treated by a kangaroo court or is he a coward that deserted the battlefield? and it's not even
