GB News presenter Stephen Dixon challenged Conservative MP Richard Holden over the party’s migration stance during a recent interview, suggesting the Tories were adopting policies similar to those of Reform UK.
The exchange occurred against the backdrop of intensifying debate over Channel crossings and migration policy, with both major parties facing pressure to address record numbers of small boat arrivals.
Stephen Dixon asked the Shadow Paymaster: “Am I right in thinking the Tories are now pursuing a net zero policy for migration at the moment? I mean, that’s basically a Reform UK policy, isn’t it?”
Richard Holden told GB News: “I think we’ve been very clear. What we want to see is the UK deciding who comes to our country, and we will do that with an annual cap, decided here in Parliament.”
