Nigel Farage has been out on a boat looking for migrants crossing the English Channel.

The Reform UK leader reported live from the sea for a special GB News report on Tuesday (25 June).

Mr Farage, who has repeatedly criticized the Conservative Party over its plans to tackle immigration, claimed he could see a white dinghy with 45 people on board attempting to enter the UK from France.

Mr Farage said: “The significance of this boat is that the number on here (the boat) takes it over 50,000 since Rishi Sunak has been in power.”
