GB News's Home and Security Editor Mark White has identified the key to "breaking" the people smuggling gang model - a scheme Labour threw out on their first day in office.

Mark's insight has come just after officials told the People's Channel the people smugglers are transforming their tactics to make the perilous crossing across the Channel.

On Wednesday, more than 320 illegal migrants crossed the English Channel, just one day after the UK Government signed an emergency extension to its border security deal with France.

But, just like Labour's evolving migration policy to "smash the gangs", the people smugglers are coming up with these new, innovative methods to carry huge groups of migrants to Britain.

Earlier this morning, GB News spoke exclusively with the Head of Overseas Operational Engagement of the Border Security Command Carol Hegginbottom, who revealed the vessels are becoming increasingly poorly made - while also having a much larger capacity.

What Britain needs, Mark declared, was a scheme to act as a deterrent to reduce the incentive for illegal migrants to make the journey in the first place.
