When a Cabinet minister admits quite casually on Sky News that we have lost control of our borders, you know our nation is in huge trouble.
And what’s worse is we don’t have anybody in power, certainly not a Prime Minister, who wants to do anything about it. An astonishing position.
To make matters worse (if that’s possible), a Times analysis forecasts 50,000 migrants will cross the Channel this year. 50,000!!!! My God. That will be a new record. Equivalent to a town the size of Royal Tunbridge or Horsham or Crosby or Yeovil, or Nigel Farage’s Clacton-on-Sea.
The Times did their numbers using Border Force modelling after a record 1,195 illegals washed up on our shores from Syria, Sudan, Iraq or Ethiopia on Saturday.
At the very minimum, you would have imagined there would be an emergency Cabinet meeting. Or a statement explaining what Starmer and his chums had in mind to solve this massive social problem.
But no. Not a peep. I can only take from Labour’s silence that they don’t think it’s important or a worry. Perhaps, cynically, they look upon these arrivals as Labour voters of the future.
That’s why Starmer, I confidently predict, will be very lucky to survive as Prime Minister and at the end of their term, I’m sure Labour will be thrown out in the same manner they were thrown in.
What our MPs don’t understand is that these daily crossings have huge political impacts way beyond Parliament. They see the migrants as simply a cost of business imposed on them by EU law. Something to be tolerated, and if raised by the media, they can always say the journalist's questions are racist. They aren’t.
If the MPs had anything about them (Tory, Labour or Lib Dem), they would simply look at their GP surgery or their child’s school, bursting at the seams and say that it’s not right and something must be done. But you never hear that argument.

We have a Home Secretary in Yvette Cooper who refuses to be drawn into a debate about the migrants. It’s her damned job. She should be forced to say how this tide is turned back. When asked about the migrants, the only thing she said was it’s all down to the weather.
Look, if I wanted a weather forecast, I wouldn’t turn to a Labour politician. I need solutions. That’s what she’s paid for.
Clearly, Cooper simply glances out the window, sees that it’s sunny, works out that migrants will be coming in record numbers, turns off her phone and goes back to bed.
What’s to be done? If migrants arrive here in the same number for the duration of the Labour Government, that will mean 200,000 (mainly young men) will be wandering our streets. Equivalent to a town the size of Bolton.
The answer is that the gendarmes are good at filming migrants climbing into the small boats but are disinclined to do anything about it.
Therefore, we must.
The answer is to start pushing the boats back using the Royal Navy. This is a national emergency. A dangerous row with the French will explode with threats of war and the like. Securing our borders must be a priority.
I salute Ukraine for doing the same. Why can’t we fight for ours? The French know what they are doing. They are delighted that tens of thousands of migrants are no longer in their country.
I don’t blame them for wanting to say a fond farewell to these unwanted guests, but the problem is that the migrants are on their land, and they have to deal with it. It’s not our problem. They have to suck it up.
It will be a tough test for Farage as PM, but one he cannot fail.
The reason the Tories were thrown out and the reason that, after just 10 months, this Labour government is hated, is due to their impotence in the face of these migrants.
It will, in my estimation, be the reason why Reform will wipe the floor with both parties at the General Election.
