Eamonn Holmes has suggested that immigration will be the decisive factor that could prevent Labour from securing victory at the next general election.
Speaking on GB News, Eamonn shared his view on the migrant crisis and said that “everyone across the land” is discussing the issue.
He explained: “I think what’s really shocking is that it’s not just about numbers.

“We look at numbers as journalists and say, tut-tut, but it’s about the social composition of the country.
“And I’m telling you, I hear this right, left and centre. I hear it from people all over the land. You go out to the theatre, to the races, to football matches, to all sorts of events and people stop you.
“It’s the only thing they’re talking about. They’re not talking about Ukraine. They’re not talking about Gaza, however important those things are.
“But this will decide who the next Government of this land will be, and it ain’t going to be Labour.”
The Tories lost the last election,because they didn’t do enough to stop illegal immigration and control legal immigration, and the same issues are going mean the defeat of Labour by Reform UK at the next election, many people have had enough of been ignored and treated like second class citizens in their own country
This stark assessment comes after it was exclusively revealed by GB News that the number of migrants arriving via small boats has exceeded 50,000 since Labour took power last year.
This milestone was reached yesterday following the arrival of an additional 430 individuals who completed the perilous journey from French shores.
The statistics indicate that 23,242 people made the unauthorised voyage during the remainder of last year following Labour’s electoral victory.
GB News’s provisional calculations show that 26,986 migrants have crossed the Channel since the beginning of this year.
When combined with the previous year’s figures under Labour’s governance, the total reaches 50,227 arrivals by small boat during Starmer’s tenure as Prime Minister.
The Labour Government’s recent efforts to address the crisis have shown limited effectiveness.
A partial agreement enabling the return of a small number of migrants to France became operational last Wednesday.

However, criminal smuggling networks have continued their operations undeterred.
In the days following the implementation of this agreement, traffickers successfully transported over 1,500 individuals across the Channel to British waters.
A Home Office spokesperson defended the Government’s approach, stating: “Through international intelligence sharing under our Border Security Command, enhanced enforcement operations in Northern France and tougher legislation in the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill, we are strengthening international partnerships and boosting our ability to identify, disrupt, and dismantle criminal gangs whilst strengthening the security of our borders.”
