was cut short mid-broadcast for a "record-breaking" announcement, as a fresh batch of migrants cross the English channel. During Wednesday's visit (March 26) to the breakfast show, the 65-year-old woke up the nation alongside his co-star Ellie Costello.

The dynamic duo discussed some of the biggest stories hitting the headlines which included Prince Harry resigning from a charity he set up in honour of Princess Diana and Russia and Ukraine agree to naval ceasefire in the Black Sea. But the biggest story on everyone's lips is Chancellor Rachel Reeve's upcoming Spring Statement which is set to be announced later today. Just hours before the statement is released, the Irish presenter issued another crushing blow to Sir Keir Starmer which is a huge blow for his small boats policy.

Eamonn began: "We're just bringing you some breaking news. We can exclusively reveal that more than 30,000 small boats have arrived in Britain since Labour came to power."

Ellie added: "It follows the arrival of 66 migrants into Dover harbour overnight" before she welcomed GB News Home and Security editor Mark White onto the show to discuss the latest figures on the morning programme.

He told viewers: "There's no doubt about it, this is a severe blow to the small boats policy for Sir Kier Starmer and his smashing the gangs policy. It seems that using a law enforcement approach at the other end of the channel hasn't reduced the number of migrants crossing the channel but has actually seen numbers rise.

"They're like London busses, you don't get one - you get three. There's three more small boats in the English Channel makign its way to Dover as we speak. This is going in the wrong direction as far as the Conservatives are concerned".

It comes hours ahead of Chancellor Rachel Reeve's upcoming Spring Statement which she will deliver in the House of Commons later today.

Her statement will reveal a deteriorating economic outlook and rising borrowing costs, which has forced her to find spending cuts, which she's left others to manage. The independent Office of Budget Responsibility (OBR) is expected to forecast that growth for 2025 has halved from 2% to 1%.

That, combined with rising debt repayment costs on government borrowing, has left the chancellor with a black hole in the public finances against the forecasts published at the budget in October.
