Ex-UKIP and Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage surprisingly praised Theresa May for pushing on to implement what she believed in when she was days away from resigning as Prime Minister. The GB
News host also took aim at fellow Brexiteer Boris Johnson after 1,295 people crossed the English Channel in small boats on Monday. Around 22,670 have also crossed in 2022 so far, just shy
of the 28,526 arrivals throughout the whole of 2021. After describing the Channel crossing crisis as an "emergency", Mr Farage said: "[Boris Johnson] is spending his last few
days on holiday in Greece or in Chequers. "Theresa May, I didn't like, but she spent her last few days pushing through issues she actually cared about. "Priti Patel - well
