Furious GB News migrant row explodes as star rages 'Give me a break!'

GB News aired a furious migrant clash as presenter Michelle Dewberry was joined by Reform UK spokesman Matt Goodwin and Labour Councillor Sebastian Salek. The pair refused to find common ground as they discussed the recent ruling about the Bell Hotel in Epping, which is currently being used to house illegal immigrants. The hotel became a talking point across the nation earlier this year after riots erupted during the summer, after the now-deported asylum seeker, Hadush Kebatu, who lived at the Bell, was charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old and a woman.

However, despite concerns from locals, a high court judge has ruled that the Bell Hotel can continue to house migrants. Matt called the decision "absolutely outrageous" as he added: "This is the ruling class imposing a decision on the people that they did not want, mothers, fathers, grandparents protesting against the sexual assault of 14-year-old girl in their neighbourhood and what is this Labour government doing, is forcing people out there to pay £15 billion in accomodation costs for people they do not want in their country." Salek hit back: "Matt, you're talking a lot about politics; this was a judicial decision, this is a legal decision, you can't combine the two." To which, the broadcaster muttered: "Give me a break." Salek continued: "You can't say this is political as soon as it's something you don't agree with."

During Tuesday's (November 12) programme, the Labour councillor added: "It's Armistice Day today, a lot of men died for our country, one of the things they died for is for the Judiciary to be maintained and use questions using the rule of law."

However, the unimpressed spokesman asked: "Do you think those veterans died to see the UK Government putting illegal migrants ahead of the British people?"

Snubbing the question, Salek stated: "The reality of it means that sometimes they make decisions that you don't like, that's what judges do, it's for all of us to respect that. If we stop doing that, the whole system falls apart."

Goodwin argued: "Can we just stop catastrophising? Nobody is saying give up on the justice system ... which prompted Salek to furiously interrupt: "Stop catastrophising?! Matt! You're from the Reform party, you spent a whole summer talking about civil war."

Taken aback by the abrupt interruption, Matt stuttered: "No, I didn't," at which the councillor once again injected: "Reform has, Farage has, your boss has!

"Don't tell me to stop catastrophising because of there's one thing Reform does is catastrophise."

Goodwin hit back: "200,000 illegal migrants coming into the country, not checked, being put into our communities next to families, schools and synagogues."

"Again, you're talking about politics; that's a legal decision, don't mix the two," Salek fumed, as Goodwin accused him of "washing your hands over the disaster."

In his 87-page ruling, Mr Justice Mould ruled on Tuesday: "The continuing need for hotels as an important element of the supply of contingency accommodation to house asylum seekers in order to enable the Home Secretary to discharge her statutory responsibilities is a significant counterbalancing factor."

Meanwhile, a statement from Epping Forest district council described the ruling as "a devastating decision for local democracy" and claimed it was "outgunned by bigger and more powerful interests."
