The Home Office confirmed that an Eritrean migrant was on a flight to Paris from Heathrow this morning

Richard Tice has launched a scathing attack on Labour's "one in, one out" deal with France after a second migrant was successfully removed, sarcastically declaring "well done!".

Speaking to GB News, the Deputy Leader of Reform UK called on Sir Keir Starmer to "get real and get tough" on migration, otherwise Britons will become "angrier and angrier".


Speaking at a joint press conference on Thursday, President Trump told Sir Keir that he could "call in the military" to tackle Britain's migrant crisis.

He stated: "You have people coming in, and I told the Prime Minister I would stop it, and it doesn’t matter if you call out the military, it doesn’t matter what means you use.

"It destroys countries from within and we’re actually now removing a lot of the people that came into our country."

Discussing the remarks on GB News, Mr Tice supported Mr Trump's suggestion and told GB News: "It would act as a deterrent, and that's why we announced in August when everyone else is on holiday our Operation Restoring Justice.

"We've got to detain everybody that crosses and put them into remote camps, military camps, in remote areas, far away from residents, and deport them immediately.

"Either back to where they came from or to third country destinations. That's our plan, and it's the only plan that will work and act as a deterrent."

Criticising Labour's "one in, one out" deal with France, Mr Tice said: "I think since the one in, one out policy was announced, some 10,000 almost have crossed the Channel, so it's clearly not a deterrent.

"And the Government lauding 'oh big deal, wow folks we got another one out', so that's two. Well done!"

As host Penny Smith argued that Labour are dealing with "everything needing to be processed and the list is just too big", Mr Tice completely disagreed.

He fumed: "No, the whole point is you have to have a deterrent, and given that well over 50,000 have crossed the Channel since Labour came to power, I think the number is up almost over 40 per cent since the beginning of this year alone.

"What Labour is doing is actually weakening any deterrent factor, and people have to understand that if they're going to come here illegally, they will be detained and there will be deported pronto."

Calling on Labour to leave the ECHR, Mr Tice concluded that if the Government do not act robustly, Britons will become "angrier and angrier".

He told GB News: "You've got to leave the ECHR and you've got to scrap the Human Rights Act.

"You've got to get real and get tough, otherwise, this situation will get worse and worse, and the British people will be angrier and angrier."

Quizzed by host Stephen Dixon on Jeremy Kyle not ruling out a move to Reform UK, Mr Tice quipped: "Obviously everybody has to subject themselves to our strict vetting process, and I look forward to receiving his application."
