When small boats become big boats

from Talk Breakfast

What on earth do we do now? The dinghy has been swapped for the mega-dinghy, one so big that is overwhelmed The Sun's front page. Arriving at about 2.30am this morning it was carrying 230 migrants, reportedly the largest number to cross the Channel successfully on one vessel. Brits are asking at what point the government will wake up and smell the crisis. Discussing this major development with Talk's Ian Collins: Political commentator Benedict Spence, former Conservative Party leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith, justice advisor for Reform UK Vanessa Frake, Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin, former Metropolitan Police detective Peter Bleksley, and Labour MP Sam Rushworth.
