Andy Burnham was heavily criticised on GB News on Tuesday, with presenter Patrick Christys accusing the prime minister of 'doing absolutely nothing to tackle the illegal migrant crisis' in Britain.
Christys highlights record migrant boat and video
Christys brought the programme to an abrupt halt, pointing out that 'more illegal migrants have crossed the English Channel in his first week as prime minister than in Keir Starmer's first week.' He then showed a video taken off the coast of northern France in June, where 'masked illegal migrant men push a woman as she's floating in the water, then they set sail for Britain.'
'Men like that are coming into Britain, probably as we speak, to be seeded around all of our communities,' Christys fumed. He also displayed what he called 'the largest migrant boat in history,' which arrived last week with about 165 people on board.
Viewers react with frustration
Christys highlighted a Telegraph report claiming the Iranian terrorist regime had been smuggling people into Britain to create 'sleeper cells when the time comes.' Declaring 'this is a multi-pronged invasion,' Christys noted that Burnham had barely addressed the issue, only vaguely mentioning migration policy in his BBC interview with Laura Kuenssberg.
GB News viewers voiced frustrations on X, with one writing: 'Enough is enough, it's a big problem that the government seems not to be bothered about.' Another tweeted: 'Any comments @andyburnham???!!! Thought not. Just keep burying your head in the sand like a bloody ostrich!'
