GB News presenter Michelle Dewberry clashed with Labour MP Mike Tapp in a heated exchange over Britain's migrant crisis.
The fiery debate on the People's Channel saw Michelle suggest Tapp lacks a true understanding of the issues facing the UK.
The confrontation centred on the government's approach to housing asylum seekers, with Michelle challenging Labour's policies.
Tapp defended the government's position, claiming there's "a hangover here of the contracts from the previous government".

"My personal opinion is, housing for British people should be first," Tapp stated during the exchange.
Michelle challenged him on the practicalities of this position, asking: "If you're a landlord and you've been squeezed, left, right and centre and someone knocks on your door and says 'we will give you a five-year deal above the rent you're being given, no management fees or maintenance costs', you're telling me you will take the lower offer?"

Tapp admitted the Serco proposal was "attractive" but insisted it wasn't Labour's creation.
The asylum accommodation provider Serco is seeking more landlords across the North West, Midlands and east of England to lease properties for over five years.
Serco already manages more than 30,000 asylum seekers in over 7,000 properties, according to their promotional materials.

The company has acknowledged it is attempting to expand its portfolio despite councils feeling the strain of the migrant crisis.
The crisis comes as nearly 10,000 migrants have crossed the Channel so far this year, with Home Office figures showing 9,638 people arriving in 173 boats.
This figure doesn't include Sunday's or today's arrivals, meaning Labour is likely to face the "humiliating blow" of crossings exceeding 10,000 today.
Housing migrants in hotels costs approximately £145 per night compared to just £14 in private accommodation.
More than 38,000 migrants are currently staying in hotels, costing taxpayers £5.5 million daily.
Reform UK Chairman Zia Yusuf entered the debate, questioning whether migrants from France were genuinely fleeing war zones.
He suggested Britain is seen as a "soft touch", which Tapp firmly denied.
Michelle was incredulous at this response, asking: "Hang on, did you just say with a straight face you don't think we're a soft touch?"
Tapp insisted Britain is "compassionate" rather than soft.
"Mike Tapp. My viewers will be screaming at their screens. We have migrants in four star hotels. We are a laughing stock," Michelle fired back.
When Tapp suggested migrants might be receiving "Gucci tracksuits," Michelle challenged him: "Are you disputing they are in four star hotels?"
"There may well be one or two," he conceded.
Michelle responded forcefully: "Come off it. I think you lot haven't even got a remote grip of the issue. I worry for the future of this country."
She added: "Serco have said housing migrants in private accommodation is dramatically cheaper than in hotel accommodation. What a mess. What an absolute mess."
