Farage: Reform UK enjoyed PM's 'island of migrants' speech
Nigel Farage says Reform UK "very much enjoyed" Sir Keir Starmer's remarks on immigration and an 'island of migrants', which critics have likened to Enoch Powell's 'Rivers of Blood' speech in 1968.
Reform's party leader urges the prime minister to declare the situation in the English Channel as a national security emergency.
Starmer replies that the government's borders bill will allow law enforcement to take action "before crimes are committed", adding it is "extraordinary" that Farage "of all people, voted against it".
