Nigel Farage has set Shabana Mahmood a resignation ultimatum after two small boat migrants were charged over a terror plot.
Salam Ahmadyan, 36, from Liverpool, and Rahman Salehi, 34, from Salford, were arrested in the Manchester area and later charged with terror offences.
The two individuals charged are Iranian nationals who arrived via small boat in 2020 and 2023.
One of those charged had been granted asylum, while the other has a live asylum claim.
Reacting to the allegations, the Reform UK leader said: “Eleven years ago I warned that terrorists were using illegal routes into Europe to attack us. The establishment ignored me.
“Nine years ago I specifically highlighted the Iranian threat via illegal migration. Crickets.
“Six years ago I specifically warned about the invasion in the Channel, often taking to sea myself to document the horrors. Again, I was dismissed.
“In 2023, I reported on terrorists coming into Britain on small boats, just like these men did under the Tory Government.

“No. Shame on them. We now have a state of national emergency on our borders, and this Government is trying to open them to even more unknown individuals.
“We are inviting terror and horror into our communities. It must end now. And if this Home Secretary disagrees, she must resign.”
Back in April, Mr Farage sounded the alarm over the threat of allowing unvetted Iranians into the UK.

In the wake of the Golders Green stabbing, the Reform UK leader said he had received fresh intelligence indicating a new wave of arrivals from Iran.
Speaking to GB News, the Clacton MP explained: “I do have a source within the Iranian-Persian diaspora who is one of the best-connected human beings in the world that I know.
“He told me last night that he knows for a fact that over the course of the last few weeks, there have been Iranian operatives crossing the Channel in small boats.
“To put that in simple terms, we are importing terrorists into our country from across the English Channel.”
In a direct message to Sir Keir, Mr Farage said: “I challenge the Government; tell me I’m wrong.
