Piers Morgan hit out at the Labour Party for their inefficiency after seeing Sky News’ latest report on the number of migrants who had crossed the English channel in 2024.

The channel’s official X account reported: “BREAKING: 424 migrants crossed the English Channel yesterday, taking the 2024 total up to 29,578.

“This means more people have crossed the Channel this year than the whole of 2023.”

Piers raged: “Are Labour actually going to do anything about this? They were very scathing about Tory failure to fix it, and Rwanda etc, but don’t seem to have any plan themselves…”

Piers was soon inundated with messages from his followers, as one said: “Of course they don’t have a plan, as you say it’s all the fault of the Tories, and will be for the next 14 years.

“They’re still stuck in the mentality of being on the opposition benches and a very quickly facing the harsh reality of actually governing.”

Another added: “Of course they won’t do anything.” A third chimed in: “They are going to smash the gangs and do a deal with the French. They’ve said this forever in opposition. It’s easy.”

A fourth agreed: “Typical political dance! Criticising the Tories is easy, but where's the Labour plan? Let’s see some action, folks!”

A fifth concluded: “None is taking this matter serious and human lives are at risk.”

In 2023, a total of 29,437 migrants made the perilous crossing. In 2022, 45,728 people crossed.

This comes after Piers also hit out at Starmer’s new working person rule, where he implied that people with shares and assets wouldn’t be classed as “working person”, and therefore may face a rise in taxes.

Piers asked: “What? Last time I checked, I’m a working person…”
