Tonight at 6:30pm, we go LIVE to break down the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's new Commons statement on her plans to "fix" the small boats crisis. Is this too little, too late from Starmer's government?
Are these policies really bold, or simply Reform UK lite?
Jon Gaunt will analyse the major announcements, the backlash inside Labour's own ranks, the reactions from Reform and Conservatives, and whether these measures stand a chance of reducing illegal Channel crossings.
We'll also ask the explosive question the government seems to be avoiding:
👉 Will Brits accept paying illegal migrants thousands of pounds to go home?
👉 Is this deterrence — or a new pull factor?
Join the debate, bring your opinions, and tell me whether YOU think Starmer's government has already lost the illegal migration war.
