Zia Yusuf has told GB News the motive behind his emergency visit to the Spanish territory of Ceuta after illegal migrants stormed through the country’s border from Morocco.
Reform UK’s home affairs spokesman is visiting the North African exclave just as the Spain’s army was deployed to repel an incursion of some 60,000 African migrants over the past 48 hours.
Speaking to GB News reporter Dougie Beattie about the trip, Mr Yusuf said: “I’m here because I saw the extraordinary footage as your viewers would have done: of 60,000 Moroccan men storming an undefended border into European territory… some of these men marauding through town, looting shops, and terrorising local residents, one of them admitting that they’re wanted for murder in their home country.
“If we (Britain) do not secure our borders, then we are going to see scenes like the ones that we have seen become sadly increasingly common and the people who suffer most from all of this are the hard-working British people.”
