WATCH: Lee Anderson praises GB News for exposing the criminal gangs behind Channel crossings.

In an exclusive video for GBN members, Lee Anderson has issued a strongly worded warning as the number of small boat arrivals reaches a grim milestone.

The Reform UK MP also praised GB News and Home and Security Editor Mark White's "fantastic work" in uncovering the true scale of the crisis.

Anderson tells GB News that White's latest report, which shows that the number of small boat migrants crossing illegally to the UK this year has passed 10,000, confirms what many have long suspected - that criminal elements are among those arriving in small boats.

For his part, Anderson has revealed the disturbing reality that individuals arriving have suffered knife wounds from violent clashes in migrant camps in France, underscoring the dangers these criminal networks pose both abroad and once migrants arrive in Britain.

"We are seeing the consequences on our streets," Anderson warned. "When you import third world cultures, you unfortunately import third world behaviour. We're now witnessing these problems firsthand in London and across the country."

Anderson's comments come amid a significant surge in illegal Channel crossings. As of mid-April 2025, over 8,000 migrants have arrived in the UK via small boats, marking a 46 per cent increase compared to the same period in 2024. This uptick has intensified public concern and political pressure on the government to address the crisis.

Lee finished the video by expressing his gratitude once again: "Massive thanks to GB News and Mark White for shining a light on this critical issue."
