'Heard it all before mate!' Martin Daubney shuts down GB News guest as he delivers 'Trump-style' solution to migrant crisis

Hosting counterparts from across the Western Balkans, Ms Mahmood said small boat crossings risk “undermining the credibility of the state itself”.

However, on the People's Channel, Martin revealed that he was not convinced that diplomatic talks would solve anything, calling it a "chocolate teapot".

“There are 11,193 Albanians in our gaols,” he said. “Tell Albania to take them all back. And if they don’t, hit them with trade sanctions.”

Martin fumed that is “what Donald Trump would do” and accused the Government of “sitting around having croissants” instead of acting.

However, Mr Bolton pushed back, claiming the situation is more complicated.

He said many of those classed as Albanian prisoners are actually ethnic Albanians from Kosovo, meaning Albania has “no interest” in taking them.

“Excuses, barbed wire, nonsense,” Martin fired back. “Our border is fangless, toothless, impotent and we’re a laughing stock.”

He also warned that other nations “know they can keep streaming them in” because Britain will not send them back.

The border control expert said: "I think we can, but to do that, we've got to get our own house in order.

"For years, this country, the Home Office, the National Crime Agency, the whole nine yards in this country has failed utterly.

"For example, with the Albanians to recognise that the majority of Albanian organised crime comes from Kosovo, not from the Republic of Albania.

"So then we when we start talking about returning people to Albania, the Prime Minister over there refused and laughed at us."

The meeting brings together ministers from across the Western Balkans, including North Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo, alongside European allies.

Their goal is to strike new deals to crack down on smuggling gangs and curb illegal migration.

Home Office figures show around 22,000 people were trafficked through the region in 2024, as the Balkans became an increasingly key route for both people and drugs.
