The fact check results are in, not a very good look for the Home Office 🤨
Detailed fact check (claim‑by‑claim)
1. “French law enforcement are failing to prevent small boat crossings.”
This is a characterisation, not a statistic.
There is no official UK or French dataset measuring “failure” or “success” rates of French enforcement.
Verdict: Not fact‑checkable as stated.
2. “UK‑French cooperation has already stopped over 46,000 attempted crossings since the election.”
The only 46,000 figure in official data refers to detected arrivals in 2022, not prevented attempts.
No Home Office publication reports 46,000 prevented attempts in any period, let alone since the election.
Verdict: Unsupported.
3. “In May alone, 65% of all small‑boat events were stopped.”
Home Office monthly breakdowns exist, but no public dataset reports “percentage of events stopped”.
The House of Commons Library briefing does not include such a metric.
Verdict: Unverifiable.
4. “Landmark new payment‑by‑results deal with France.”
There is no publicly available Home Office or UK‑France bilateral agreement described as “payment by results”.
Past deals (2018–2023) involved fixed funding, not performance‑linked payments.
Verdict: Unconfirmed / no public evidence.
5. “Removals of small‑boat migrants are at record levels.”
Home Office statistics do not publish a category called “small‑boat removals”.
Removals overall have fluctuated and are far below historic peaks (e.g., 2004–2012).
Verdict: Unsupported.
6. “Asylum claims are down by 12%.”
Asylum applications vary year‑to‑year, but the available datasets (YE Dec 2025, YE Mar 2026) do not show a clear 12% drop attributable to the period referenced.
No dataset matches this exact figure.
Verdict: Unverifiable.
7. “We have removed or deported almost 70,000 people who were here illegally – an increase of 41%.”
Home Office statistics for YE Dec 2025 show:
• Total enforced returns are far below 70,000 annually.
• Returns have not increased by 41% in any recent year.
No official dataset supports “70,000 removals”.
Verdict: Incorrect based on available data.
We are aware of posts circulating online that claim French law enforcement are failing to prevent small boat Channel crossings.
UK-French cooperation has already stopped over 46,000 attempted crossings since the election.
In May alone, 65% of all small boat events were stopped despite soaring temperatures, which have historically led to increased crossings.
But we know there is more to do.
That is why the Home Secretary has signed a landmark new payment by results deal with France to boost enforcement action on beaches and put people smugglers behind bars.
On top of the 46,000 crossing attempts prevented, removals of small boat migrants are at record levels and asylum claims are down by 12%.
We have also removed or deported almost 70,000 people who were here illegally – an increase of 41% – and are going further to remove the incentives that draw illegal migrants to this country.

I have spoken to the CEO of Tendring District Council. Reform has offered to cover the cost of the by-election.
I will be writing to Rachel Reeves later today with the same message.
Given that we asked for this by-election in the first place, it’s only right that we pay for it.

“Let’s spend £4.5 trillion on net zero over the next 25 years despite the UK only accounting for less than 1% of annual global CO2 emissions. Let’s increase taxes to pay for net zero. Let’s ban new oil and gas licences in the North Sea but spaff away £40billion buying North Sea oil and gas from Norway. Let’s buy coking coal shipments worth £7.2million from Japan but ban UK coal mining. Let’s plaster thousands of acres of farmland with solar panels but spend £50million on sun dimming experiments. Let’s give huge renewable energy construction contracts to China. Let’s give Drax an estimated £1.8billlion in taxpayer funded subsidies on top of the £11billion it has already received despite Drax burning an amount of wood equivalent to 300 million trees. Let’s give £1billion this year alone to wind power companies not to generate power from their wind turbines. And let’s spend £30billion of taxpayers’ money on carbon capture machines but put pensioners, farmers and the disabled into financial peril by claiming there’s a £22bn black hole.”

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
For context ; the video is from Sept 2025, NOT of the UTK protest march on 17th May 2026. The 2026 protest did NOT traverse over any bridges
The route was entirely within north London north of the Thames river.

🚨 This footage of Andy Burnham being absolutely hounded by furious families at a public meeting should be required viewing for every voter in Britain — because this is the man quietly being lined up as Keir Starmer’s replacement.
Watch the raw anger. Mothers and fathers screaming from the public gallery, demanding answers about the systematic rape of hundreds of vulnerable British girls in Oldham and Greater Manchester. Burnham — the so-called “King of the North” — stonewalls them, shuts down calls for a proper public inquiry, and prioritises “community relations” over the broken bodies and shattered lives of working-class white girls targeted by grooming gangs.
Greater Manchester Police failed these victims catastrophically. Files ignored. Girls dismissed as “troubled” or “consenting.” Fathers arrested for trying to rescue their own daughters while the predators — overwhelmingly Pakistani-heritage men — operated with impunity for years. Burnham didn’t just turn a blind eye. He actively blocked full accountability. His toothless “Assurance Review” was a whitewash designed to bury the truth rather than expose it. He spent years defending it, denying a cover-up, only conceding the obvious when the scandal went national and international.
This isn’t ancient history. This is the same Andy Burnham who, as Mayor, refused to discipline senior officers who looked the other way. The same man who watched grooming gangs destroy lives and chose political correctness and bloc votes over the safety of our children. The same Labour careerist now being floated as the next Prime Minister — the antidote to Starmer’s collapsing regime.
Let that sink in.
In two-tier Britain, the feelings and electoral clout of certain communities matter more than the innocence of British girls. From Rotherham to Rochdale to Oldham to Manchester — the pattern is identical, and the cover-up machine is still running under Labour. Burnham isn’t the solution. He’s the continuation of the same rotten project that sacrificed our daughters for “diversity” optics and cheap votes.
The silent majority has had enough.
We demand:
✅ A full, fearless national inquiry into grooming gangs with no limits, no sacred cows, and real criminal consequences for every police chief, councillor, social worker and politician who looked the other way.
✅ Life sentences that actually mean life for the rapists — no more soft-touch sentencing.
✅ Burnham held to account publicly and barred from ever holding high office again. No “King of the North.” No return to Westminster. No path to No. 10.
✅ An end to the two-tier protection racket that puts imported communities above native British children.
Patrick Christys is right to keep showing this. The British people remember every girl failed. Every father arrested. Every inquiry blocked. And we will not let the grooming-gang apologists rewrite history or slither into power.
This is why Reform is rising. This is why the silent majority is awake.
Protect our children.
Demand real justice.
No more cover-ups.
No more Burnham.

In case you’re not from the UK our Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer just suffered historic election losses to Reform UK in pro-Brexit, anti-immigration, working-class ‘Red Wall’ areas and now thinks he can win them back by announcing closer ties with the EU, hiring somebody who thinks concerns over mass immigration are bigotry, and hiring somebody else who thinks men can become women and was once affiliated with a group that sought to legitimise relationships between adults and children. True story.
