GB News star Stephen Dixon has taken a furious swipe at Labour’s Yvette Cooper in a scathing rant.
Speaking to co-host Dawn Neesom, Stephen questioned why the Labour home secretary is seemingly unwilling to appear on the People’s Channel to discuss how the Government is addressing the migrant crisis.

“Would Yvette Cooper come on the programme?”, he asked.
“She has been on once. I interviewed her once, but she doesn’t like coming on GB News.
“She has appeared on, of course, Good Morning Britain, where her husband was asking the questions.
“Can you imagine if that happened on this channel? It would have been an Ofcom issue.

“People like Yvette Cooper should look at the viewing figures and realise the channels she is going on have significantly fewer viewers.
“She should come on this channel and speak to the people she is representing. It’s an open invitation.”
It comes after the Home Office announced an end to plans to house migrants at RAF Scampton.
The former airbase in Lincolnshire, once home to the Dambusters squadron, was seen as a key part of the previous government’s plans to accommodate the increasing number of migrants arriving in the UK via small boats and other unauthorised means.
Labour have made clear their intentions to target the people smuggling gangs facilitating the flow of migrants making their way across the Channel via dinghies.
Cooper is set to chair a summit on the matter with senior ministers and figures from the National Crime Agency (NCA) and intelligence services on Friday.
It follows the deaths of at least 12 people who attempted to cross the Channel on Tuesday.
Their boat was “ripped apart” and sank off the northern French coast of Cap Gris-Nez.
But the tragedy has done little to quell the demand and crossings have continued in the following days.
Ahead of the meeting, Cooper said: “Exploiting vulnerable people is at the heart of the business model of these despicable criminal smuggling gangs.
“Women and children were packed into an unsafe boat which literally collapsed in the water this week.
“At least 12 people were killed as part of this evil trade. We will not rest until these networks have been dismantled and brought to justice.”
