‘Britons have done ENOUGH!’ Matt Goodwin erupts as ex-Corbyn adviser calls for floodgates to open to refugees

Goodwin strongly challenged Schneider's position, demanding to know what upper limit he would place on refugee numbers coming to Britain.

Schneider argued on GB News that Britain's current refugee system is too restrictive.

"The problem is, we have no routes for refugees to come to Britain when they have links to Britain other than through the Ukraine scheme and the Hong Kong scheme," he said.

He emphasised that safe pathways for refugees from other nations were lacking.

"The problem is there's no way for refugees to come to this country in a safe way if they're not from Ukraine," Schneider added.

Goodwin fired back, defending Britain's targeted approach to refugee schemes.

"Let's get this straight. The point about the scheme for Ukrainians and Hong Kongers is that it's a defined scheme for the people from those countries," he stated.

He highlighted the scale of global displacement, saying: "There's 86 million displaced refugees around the world, what is the upper limit for the amount for Britain?"

Goodwin also pointed to Britain's substantial humanitarian efforts, citing "£15.3bn this country gives to countries including Gaza in foreign aid."

When pressed on specific numbers, Schneider suggested Britain could "conceivably" accept an additional 100,000 refugees.

He linked the refugee crisis to broader foreign policy issues."

It depends on what other countries are doing and the role we can play in ending the conflict," Schneider said.

He added: "We should not be selling Israel arms. Why do you think these people are refugees? They're refugees because they're being bombed."

Goodwin strongly rejected suggestions that Britain lacks compassion in its refugee policy.

"You're acting like this is some evil regime with no heart whatsoever. We are not," he emphasised.
