Britain is staring down the barrel of a three-pronged crisis on immigration, NHS waiting times and rising inflation, according to Nigel Farage, who is reportedly considering a comeback to front-line politics.
Nigel Farage, who has become a presenter on GB News since stepping down from his post as head of the Brexit Party, said he receives daily pleas to return to the political battlefield, according to today's Sunday Express.
Meanwhile, with an eye towards the next general election, the GB News presenter predicted Boris Johnson's party could suffer at the polls if the Channel crossing issue spirals out of control.
Mr Farage's rebuke against the Tories comes as the migrant Channel crossing tragedy sparks infighting in Mr Johnson's cabinet:
Priti Patel has defended her handling of migrant crisis to ministers and MPs 27 migrants, including women and children, died when dinghy sank off Calais Prime Minister said to have privately rebuked her for 'failing to get a grip' of issue Home Office sources however defended her saying she had been 'battling against' French inaction But No10 officials now say she has 'doing nothing for two years' and has been 'missing in action' following latest tragedy
Nigel Farage has laid out a gloomy prognosis, warning Britain is in choppy seas - with the Channel crossing issue, pressure on the health service and rising inflation all high up on his list of concerns
Mr Farage has been covering the migrant Channel crossing issue since April 2020, when he first uploaded a video to his YouTube channel from Pett Level Beach in East Sussex, in what he described as a 'fact-finding mission'
The Home Secretary has been privately rebuked by Boris Johnson for failing to 'get a grip' on the issue, and was joined in his criticisms by other Ministers at a meeting in the wake of the drowning tragedy
Mr Farage has been covering Channel crossings by illegal migrants since April 2020, when he made a "YouTube video from a drizzly Pett Level Beach in East Sussex, describing the trip to the camera as a 'fact-finding mission'.
At the time, the former Brexit Party boss received ridicule for his reporting on the issue - and East Sussex Police were 'bombarded by complaints' that he had allegedly broken lockdown travel rules, according to Mr Farage.
This week, following the deaths of 27 people who drowned while crossing the Channel on a flimsy blow-up boat, Mr Farage says he is predicting a 'national emergency'.
Mr Farage said: 'I think it is possible that by the spring or summer of next year this [the Channel crossings by migrants] will become a national emergency.
'I think the numbers that will come will dwarf what you are currently seeing.
'I've not been wrong on a single prediction on this.'
