Watch the moment Sir Keir Starmer clashes with Reform UK's Chairman Lee Anderson during Prime Minister's Questions.
Mr Anderson asked the Prime Minister: "If a Prime Minister is really serious about protecting young women and girls, does he agree with me and Reform UK that every single illegal migrant coming to this country should be detained, not allowed to claim asylum and then deported?"
Defending the Government's record on illegal migration, Sir Keir responded: "I'm very proud of the fact that after net migration reached almost one million under the party opposite, we brought it down by 82 per cent on the asylum system, which he references.
"Now asylum decisions are making at record levels, the backlog is down, removals are up 41 per cent, and we're closing asylum hotels. They lost control of our borders, now small boat crossings are coming down and we deported 70,000 people with no right to be here."
The Prime Minister then turned his attention to Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, where he launched his latest attack at the party.
He said: "He likes to ask questions. He should be asking some questions of the leader of his party sitting next to him.
"He received £5million in crypto from a crypto billionaire, and then privately lobbied the Bank of England on digital currencies. So did their leader carry out lobbying paid?
"Why did he keep his £5million gift secret? Are they happy with their leader earning £20,000 an hour flogging gold bullion. They need to ask questions across their benches, but they never do."
