Reform UK MP Richard Tice has hit out at Britain's surging migrant crisis as he branded Labour "incompetent muppets" for failing to bring down the figures.
Channel crossings have hit 40,000 since Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer took office, with the Labour leader telling GB News yesterday that the situation is "deteriorating".
Speaking to Britain's Newsroom, Richard Tice expressed outrage at the figures hitting 17,000 this year alone, warning of masses the size of "Wembley Stadium" entering the UK by the end of the year.
Tice fumed: "The total since the Labour Government was elected is now over 40,000. Put it in context for your viewers and listeners, that's the equivalent of filling Stamford Bridge football stadium.

"We've just forecast today that by this time next year, the equivalent of Wembley Stadium will have arrived illegally over the Channel since the general election. So just think about that, Wembley Stadium within 12 months of illegal migrants filling up our hotels, filling up our housing."
Citing the recent report released by Baroness Casey, which stated that illegal migrants in Britain are also a contributing factor to grooming gang crimes against women and girls in Britain, Tice issued a further warning about the surging number of migrants crossing into Britain.
Tice cautioned: "As we're now learning, based on the Baroness Casey review, regrettably, they are involved in some hideous and heinous crimes that authorities want to deny and cover up.
"I was the person who exposed the Albanians who were coming over as part of criminal gangs to get involved in drug dealing and money laundering under the guise of barbershops, which I was lambasted at the time for saying, but now actually has turned out to be completely true."

PAAsked by Bev why he believes the authorities are not cracking down on "smashing the gangs", Tice stated: "They're incompetent muppets, frankly.
"And the idea that we're sending hundreds of millions of pounds to the French army in order to give them photography lessons, because they don't seem to be doing anything else than just photographing these boats leaving, they have an obligation."
He added: "I have actually read the law, I understand the law. The French have a legal obligation under the 1982 UN Convention of the Law at Sea, to pick up these boats and take them back to France.
"They're failing in that obligation, and we're entitled to do the same and take them back."

Calling for more "transparency" on factors such as ethnicity in the data collected on foreign criminals, Tice told GB News: "We have to talk about these difficult things, we have to be honest, and we have to have the data.
"And the data reveals some very, very bad things, which is that some very bad people are coming across the English Channel pretending to be coming from a war zone, when actually they've got very bad ill intent."
Tice highlighted the frustration felt by Britons about the surging migrant crisis, declaring they are "increasingly angry" with how Labour is handling it.
He stated: "I think for the British people, I think the anger is growing rapidly."
