Watch the moment GB News star Martin Daubney has a strong exchange with Labour Peer Baroness Dianne Hayter.
The pair locked horns about the record-breaking number of migrants crossing the Channel to Britain as favourable weather conditions make the risky trip significantly easier.
Martin argued that Sir Keir Starmer is “missing in action” while Britain’s border officials are dealing with a staggering wave of migrants.
“Do you know where Keir Starmer is? He seems to be missing in action”, he said.

Baroness Hayter responded: “He’s not. I am absolutely delighted he is rallying the French, the Germans and others to try and persuade Trump to do the right thing about Russia.
“Russia is the biggest threat to European security.”

The GB News star said Baroness Hayter was “making his point for him”, adding Sir Keir “won’t have any impact whatsoever” in Russia-Ukraine relations.
“Our border disaster predates the Ukraine war”, he added.

Baroness Hayter argued that the migrant crisis will only get worse if Vladimir Putin gets his way.
“If Russia wins in Ukraine, there will be a lot of instability and people fleeing westwards”, she said.
“When you look at the countries like Afghanistan, Syria, Sudan and Yemen, they are all very unstable and if you are of fighting age, you are threatened.”
Martin asked “why is that our problem?” repeatedly which prompted Baroness Hayter to demand “let me finish”.
“Baroness Hayter, please. We are trying to talk about a domestic emergency”, said Martin.
“We are seeing crime through the roof, protests outside the hotels. Keir Starmer seems more comfortable dealing with foreign politicians than dealing with the domestic dog’s dinner.”
Baroness Hayter said GB News needs to be “careful” when it comes to discussing crime, to which Martin responded: “Oh, here we go.”
“We can all cherry pick data”, he said. “Let’s talk about sex crime. Let’s talk about sex crime, that’s not going down. Let’s talk about sex crime committed by foreign criminals.”

“Most sex crime is committed by white males living here”, said Baroness Hayter, before she accused Martin of “fuelling fear”.
The GB News star said Baroness Hayter was guilty of “shooting the messenger and ignoring the message”.
He continued: “If we close our borders and stop talking about Ukraine, we might get somewhere.”
It comes as figures obtained exclusively by GB News reveal that an overwhelming 87 per cent of individuals arriving via small boats across the Channel are male, with 81.4 per cent falling within the 18-39 age bracket commonly described as fighting age.
The data starkly contradicts assertions made by Treasury Minister Darren Jones earlier this year, who claimed “the majority of the people in these boats are children, babies and women.”
Analysis of 38,000 recorded arrivals up to March, compiled by campaign groups Stand Up for Our Sovereignty and Facts for EU, demonstrates that merely 13 per cent of those crossing were female.
The findings emerge as Labour faces mounting criticism over border control, with over 50,000 crossings recorded since taking office in July.
The data reveals near-certain asylum approval for arrivals from specific nations, with Syrian nationals achieving a 99 per cent success rate, whilst those from Sudan and Yemen both secure 98 per cent approval.
Ben Phillips, director of communications at the Campaign for Independent Britain, presented the findings to GB News, stating: “So ostensibly, let’s be brutal about this. We have open borders with Syria, Sudan and Yemen.”
He emphasised that individuals from these nations face “an absolutely infinitesimally small chance of ever being returned” once reaching British shores, as these countries are classified as unsafe.
The report indicates that even unsuccessful asylum applicants from various nations typically receive indefinite leave to remain, as courts consider deportation to their home countries too dangerous.
The nationality breakdown shows Afghanistan topping the list with 5,766 individuals, followed by Syria, Eritrea, Iran, Sudan and Vietnam amongst twenty nations represented in the data.
The figures indicate arrivals from countries including India and Vietnam, where no active conflicts exist, alongside war-torn nations.
