       Nigel Farage issued a blistering eight-word slapdown of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer as he raged at the ongoing arrival of new migrants on Britain's shores.

       The newly elected Reform UK MP shared footage of a group of illegal migrants disembarking a Border Force vessel in Dover.

       Mr Farage slammed the performance of the Labour Government so far in putting an end to new arrivals as he argued his party would "stop the boats".

       Sharing the video on X, formerly known as Twitter, the politician said: "Sunday morning in Dover..."

       In a brutal slapdown of just eight words, the Reform leader said: "Nothing is changing and Labour have no clue."

       He added: "Only Reform will stop the boats."

       Small boat crossings remain a small fraction of net immigration into the UK but have long been a focal political issue.

       Labour has pledged to strengthen border security as it works to cut the number of asylum seekers, albeit in a less sensationalist fashion than the Conservatives.

       Since Sir Keir was elected in the July 4 election, Border Force has recorded more than 500 Channel crossings, bringing the total for the year so far to a little over 1,400.

       Sir Keir says he plans to collaborate more with his European partners through data-sharing and law enforcement co-operation to help tackle illegal immigration at its roots and remove the gangs facilitating the crossings.

       "A Bill will be introduced to modernise the asylum and immigration system, establishing a new Border Security Command and delivering enhanced counter-terror powers to tackle organised immigration crime [Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill]."

       Within days of taking power, Labour announced it would scrap the controversial Rwanda scheme that caused a major headache to the Conservatives.

       The scheme was not fully operational by the time the General Election took place and only four volunteers had been removed under it by the time Home Secretary Yvette Cooper scrapped it.
