Quote:'OUTRAGEOUS' Cringe-worthy moment BBC Question Time audience turn on Minister who claimedArchived Sun Article:
most small boat migrants are women & kids
Home Office figures show that 73 per cent of all Channel arrivals since 2018 have been adult males
'A bungling Cabinet Minister has sparked fury for claiming most small boat migrants are women and
children. Darren Jones was today accused of being “completely out of touch with reality” given the
overwhelming majority of Channel crossers are adult men.
A Dickhead. Those Who Abuse Dickheads.
Labour’s Chief Secretary to the Treasury made the bizarre assertion on Question Time, leaving the
audience groaning in disbelief. The debate on illegal migration saw him claim “the majority of the
people in these boats are children, babies and women”.
Home Office figures show that 73 per cent of all Channel arrivals since 2018 have been adult males.
Incredibly, Downing Street yesterday repeatedly refused to correct Mr Jones’ comments. Asked if the
government was “gaslighting Britain”, Sir Keir Starmer’s spokesman said: “Our focus is on tackling
the gangs.”
Tory Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp blasted: “Darren Jones is completely out of touch with reality.
“Since 2018, 73 per cent of small boat arrivals have been single adult men. Yet Labour MPs like Jones
still push the fairytale that these boats are full of women and babies. “It’s a dangerous distortion of the
truth. No wonder this is shaping up to be the worst year on record for small boat crossings.
“If this is what passes for reality inside the Labour Government, Britain is in serious trouble.”
Nigel Farage branded Mr Jones "another clueless Labour minister"
Mr Jones finally issued a halfhearted correction, saying: "Of course the overall majority of people arriving
illegally on small boats are men - but not “north of 90 per cent” as Reform claimed." He added: "I’m happy
to clarify this given how this is now being misrepresented."
Earlier today, French police finally went into the sea to try to stop migrants getting onto a dinghy - but the
small boats were still left dangerously overcrowded after the officers retreated.
The Sun watched as large groups of men were pursued by French cops along the beach as they tried to
board dinghies. Riot officers dramatically threatened migrants with batons and pepper sprayed them in
waist-high water during shocking scenes at Gravelines beach - near Dunkirk - in the early hours.
Harrowing babies' cries and screams rang out from the water as their parents carrying them refused to leave.
More than 15,000 small boat migrants have crossed the Channel already this year - a record number.
And more than 150,000 have come since 2018 when the crisis erupted. It comes after Rachel Reeves
yesterday admitted she has no clue where Channel migrants will go instead of hotels.
The Chancellor has vowed to scrap their “costly” use within four years as part of her spending review
-but could not say what would replace them. Pressed on where arrivals would be housed, she passed
the buck to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper.
Ms Reeves told Times Radio: “Well, I’m not going to be providing accommodation. "That’s for the Home
Office to do. “But the wasteful spending on the most expensive form of accommodation is a terrible use...'
