Keir Starmer launches a desperate No 10 reshuffle with key aides OUT as he faces migrant fury, falling poll ratings… and a rising threat from Farage

Darren Jones was promoted within the scope of NO10 ‘reset’ – but the Downing Street colleagues may be careful against the new main secretary of the PM approaching the TV studio.

Bristol North West deputy Mr. Jones, BBC politics showed his comments on the flagship of the policy of BBC has lined up twice.

Most channel migratory children, babies and women ‘

In June, in his previous position as the Treasury Chief Secretary, Jones caused anger when he said that the majority of people who crossed the channel on the small boats he saw were ‘children, babies and women’.

Reform at the BBC question time on the immigrant crisis came to the British British Zia Yusuf.

Mr. Jones said: ‘Let me tell you, when you are on the site, these dinghis, which are brought together by these organized crime gangs, are clearly inseparable.

‘And when you see that the majority of people in these boats are children, babies and women,… You should take notes.’

Mr. Jones interrupted, Mr. Yusuf claimed that more than 90 percent of the channels on small boats were adults.

When asked whether he objected to 90 percent, Mr. Jones, ‘I’m just saying that this is not true’ he said.

“Babies and children entering that position on the channel, with the skin burns on these boats with skin burns, with salty sea water, I will ask you to look at these babies and children and tell you to come back to where you come,” he added.

According to home office figures, in the first three months of 2025, there was a 6,420 small boat arrival where the age and gender of the person were recorded. 81 percent of them (5,183) were adult men.

While the Tora leader called Kemi Badenoch to apologize to Mr. Jones, reform Nigel Farage from England called it a ‘another Clueless Minister of Workers’.

Mr. Jones then tried to clarify his words and published it on social media: ‘Of course, the general majority of people who come to small boats illegally is male – but as the reform claims,’ 90 percent ‘not’.

“ I shared a story from my visit to the Border Security Command on a boat carrying women, children and babies, mostly terrible burns.

‘Considering how this is represented incorrectly, I am happy to clarify it.’

Welfare squeezing ‘My child’s pocket mortar is like cutting 10 pounds per week’

Mr. Jones compared Labour’s welfare jam with his children’s pocket mortar to 10 pounds per week.

While the government tries to defend the benefit deductions, Mr. Jones pointed out that the impact assessment of measures did not think about how another action was taken by the ministers.

BBC As far as I understand, what the impact assessment is taken into account is that you get support for training, skills or work, ”he said to the BBC Politics Live.

‘For example, if I said to my children:’ I will cut your court £ 10 a week, but you should go and get a Saturday job ‘.

‘This basically impact assessment would say that my children fell £ 10, regardless of how much money they received from their Saturday affairs.’

Mr. Jones’ comments were quickly called ‘attacker’ and ‘patronage’ by critics.

He then apologized and said to ITV’s Peston program: ‘Sorry. He touched and was not considered well. I’m sorry if I bother people. ‘
