GB News issues breaking migrant alert and it's awful look for Labour
GB News ground to a halt minutes into their evening show as they issued a breaking news alert - and it's bad news for Labour. On Monday (November 2), presenter Martin Daubney returned to the airwaves for his tea-time show, where he discussed the biggest issues hitting the UK this week. It didn't take long for the show to derail after a breaking news alert about the Home Secretary's new immigration reforms. The 56-year-old broadcaster announced that Shabana Mahmood is starting major overhauls to the UK's legal migration and earned settlement system.
TL;DR
- Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced major reforms to the UK's legal migration and settlement system.

- Migrants arriving by irregular means may face waits of up to 30 years for settlement.
- The reforms have been criticized as a "capitulation" and a "U-turn" by figures like Nigel Farage.
