GB News migration row turns explosive as Reform politician rages ‘what rubbish’

presenter Martin Daubney returned with his afternoon show to discuss the UK’s projected population growth.

This came after the latest ONS figures revealed that the population is projected to rise to 72.5 million by 2032.

Martin introduced MP and political commentator Matthew Stadlen to discuss the statistics, however as the topic of migration was introduced tensions rose.

Stadlen stated: “There’ll be a lot of people watching GB News today and there are millions of people around the country who have come in from abroad to make our country better.”

Before he could finish, Anderson interrupted: “No, no, no what rubbish. This is rubbish.”

Refusing to be shut down, Stadlen continued: “When we’re talking about immigration, Lee, let’s not slag off whole trances of our population because we don’t need to do that.”

However, Anderson interjected: “Let’s be grown up about it, people have not come into our country to make our country better.”

As Stadlen argued: “Loads of them have,” Anderson argued: “They haven’t Matthew, they’ve come into this country to make their lives better.”

The commentator responded: “Two things can be true at the same time, the people who helped my dad die a dignified death and helped me change his pads when he was dying from asbestos poisoning, they were all from a man to a woman from other countries.”

After Anderson asked, “Which countries?” Stadlen answered, “Mostly African countries.” The MP probed, “So why aren’t they in their countries helping their own people?”

When Stadlen responded: “Because presumably the pay is better,” he threw his hands up and stated: “Exactly, you’ve just answered the argument.”

Stadlen argued: “They are also helping us, they are giving us labour.”

“What we’re doing is brain-draining countries like Africa, India and the sub-continent taking their best doctors, their surgeons, their nurses and we’re bringing them over here and it is wrong,” Anderson added.
