The inner-workings of an armed trafficking gang smuggling illegal migrants into Britain as recently as yesterday has been exposed by GB News.
The People's Channel has worked to infiltrate the people smugglers by targeting their TikTok channels - and was subsequently added to an extraordinary WhatsApp chat detailing the illicit journeys.
"What I'm about to show you makes a mockery of Labour's plan to give the French hundreds of millions more pounds to not stop the boats," host Patrick Christys told viewers last night.
"We've infiltrated this group and we're going to show you what's on there, because you have a right to know exactly how much danger you're in."

Over the past seven days, almost 1,000 small boat migrants have made the perilous journey across the Channel, taking advantage of the improved weather conditions.
Shabana Mahmood is holding talks with the French on the small boats crisis in a bid to toughen up deals with Paris.
But Patrick said his latest exclusive report has revealed "just how urgent" Britain's borders crisis has become after GB News acquired access to the WhatsApp group.
The group is currently made up of 56 members and is called "Migration from Iraq to Europe", and appears to be run by an individual called Abu Hussain.
Various different routes to reach Britain's shores are available, with the group advertising the "best prices" to make the illegal journey into the UK.
Images showed several assault rifles - and 'successful trips' held as recently as yesterday
The smugglers boast of successful crossings across the Channel - some of which have taken place as recently as yesterday, sharing videos of people in dinghies wearing neon orange life-jackets.
While the group is used as a hub to organise illicit operations, all of the participants' profile pictures are accessible as well, Patrick noted.
One, who was described as "menacing" by Patrick, donned a balaclava, while another was dressed in Islamic garments with a gun - complemented by an additional caption which reads "praising Allah".
A third profile showed the picture of the assassinated Ayatollah of Iran.

"Now, given the context of global events, I think many of you will find that somewhat concerning," Patrick started. "But not as concerning as this."
The GB News star proceeded to show images of guns, seemingly an AK-47, a pistol, a pump-action shotgun as well as an AR-15 semi-automatic assault rifle.
"Just look at those weapons there that they are brandishing freely on this group. I don't think they are simply dealing in the trade of people, do you?" Patrick sceptically added.
"Does anyone really think that if they can smuggle people into Britain in multiple different ways, that they can't get these guns in as well?"
Patrick confirmed the individuals' details have now been passed on to the National Crime Agency.
"But you have to ask yourself some serious questions," the presenter maintained.
"If it is so easy for me to get this information, why isn't more being done to stop these lunatics?
"Why haven't the French demolished the migrant camps across northern France? There's all of these camps where people like this are living and operating with impunity.
"Why aren't the French just dismantling them? We've given them half a billion pounds already."
