Bev Turner weighs claims that social media mobilized tens of thousands of Moroccan men toward Ceuta while another wave remained possible.

The brief

Morning Wire opens with a mass Moroccan crossing into Ceuta, the Spanish territory on North Africa’s coast, and demands for Spain’s prime minister to resign.

Bev Turner of GB News discusses claims that TikTok and Facebook helped mobilize tens of thousands of Moroccan men, while reports of another wave circulate online.

The interview examines whether Moroccan authorities enabled or tolerated the crossing, but Turner stresses that images allegedly showing police involvement are difficult to verify.

Reports of violence, possible transfers of unaccompanied minors to mainland Spain, and concerns about the group’s composition turn the migration surge into a wider security debate.

The episode closes with a trailer for Run, Hide, Fight Infidels, shifting from the Ceuta crisis to a dramatic warning about ideological conflict and threats to the West.
