GB News: Nigel Farage's astonished at Tory Mp's migration boast

       Nigel Farage reacted with incredulity when a Tory MP insisted during a GB News debate that the party is bringing down taxes and migration.

       The former UK Independence Party leader argued there was little difference between the Conservatives and Labour following Sir Keir Starmer's decision to ditch the Opposition's flagship ￡28billion a year green spending pledge.

       But Isle of Wight MP Bob Seely staunchly defended the Tories by listing areas where he believed the two parties were different.

       He said: "There are two different directions at the next election. The Conservatives bringing down tax, bringing down migration."

       At this point, a surprised-looking Mr Farage interrupted by saying: "Sorry?"

       Mr Seely went on: "Let me finish. Realism on net zero, realism on gender recognition, being proud of our history and not ashamed of it, being proud of our identity not ashamed of it, supporting Brexit, not trying to get back in the EU, and Rwanda.

       "I'll start with those. I know you want to say these are all urban, liberal elites all doing the same thing, that is categorically not true."

       Mr Farage replied: "On tax, it's a Conservative government that has given us the highest tax burden since World War Two."

       Mr Seely replied: "Do you know why? Because we've had Covid and we spent ￡350billion, and then we've had the Ukraine inflationary shock.

       "We all know that tax is too high, the point is that we are going to bring it down."

       Mr Farage replied: "I don't believe that and actually you're right about the Covid cost, your government locked us down for a second and third time wholly unnecessarily.

       "But where I do agree with you, there are some differences on cultural issues and we saw that perhaps writ large at PMQs yesterday."

       Mr Farage was referring to how Sir Keir called out Rishi Sunak for making a transgender joke during Prime Minister's Questions, when murdered trans teen Brianna Ghey's mother was in Parliament.
