Martin Daubney has raged at the laser-focus being afforded to matters in Gaza in the British political sphere.
Speaking on GB News, the host demanded attention on areas like Grimsby as squabbles in the Commons continue.
The comments came about during a discussion with fellow GB News star Nigel Farage about the Speaker courting controversy with his exceptional decision to allow multiple Commons votes on the Israel-Hamas conflict.
“What’s the point of this debate Nigel?”, he asked.
“A lot of people are writing in questioning why are we wasting so much time talking about Gaza when we should be talking about Grimsby, Gateshead, Gillingham and Glasgow?”
Nigel waded in to say the matter has come about as a result of “sectarian politics”.
“That’s where we’ve gone”, he added.
“Gaza is being talked about a lot more than Grimsby as you have raised. This is predominantly an issue for Labour.
“They have almost institutional anti-Semitism whatever Keir Starmer’s efforts have been to clear that up.
“What is happening today in Parliament is party political games that make no difference to us as a country and more importantly, make no difference to the situation in Gaza.

“It is the beginning of religious sectarianism in British politics and it will turn ugly.”
It had been expected Sir Lindsay would select just the Government’s amendment seeking an “immediate humanitarian pause” to the Israel-Hamas conflict, which could pave the way for a more permanent stop in fighting.
But instead, he decided that the Commons would first vote on Labour’s calls for an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” before moving onto further votes on the SNP’s original motion, and then the Government’s proposals if either of the first two were to fail to garner enough support.
Sir Lindsay said: “This is a highly sensitive subject on which feelings are running high, in the House, in the nation, and throughout the world.
“I think it is important on this occasion that the House is able to consider the widest possible range of options.”
A Conservative MP could be heard to accuse Sir Lindsay of “moving the goalposts” as he told the Commons Labour’s amendment would be voted on first, followed by the SNP if that is rejected.
He added: “If that is not agreed to, then the House will have the opportunity to vote on the Government amendment.
“Proceeding this way will allow a vote to take place potentially on all proposals from each of the three main parties.”
The SNP shouted “Shame on you!” at the Speaker, while Tory party chairman Richard Holden could be seen shouting “shameful!” from the side lines of the chamber in response to Sir Lindsay.
