GB News star replacement 'unveiled' after huge announcement

GB News presenter Alex Armstrong was temporarily replaced in a big announcement. Political commentator Will Kingston informed his fans that he would be filling in for Alex at the last minute, as he was due to appear on Patrick Christys' show at 9pm tonight. Will jokingly posted on X: "I'll be filling @alexharmstrong's recently vacated chair* on @PatrickChristys' Tuesday night panel. Tune into @GBNEWS from 9pm. *Yes, I was as shocked as you are that Alex relinquished airtime." One person replied in the comments and said: "Look forward to hearing you." A second person also quipped: "Excellent, it has been overkill with Alex (joke Alex), and also, it's good to have common sense and a dash of eye candy."

A third similarly echoed on X: "@alexharmstrong is great, but we love you too @WillKingston! Always speak sense!" A fourth person also echoed: "You are a welcome addition to the Tuesday crew."

During last night's show Patrick Christys criticised Labour's plan to fast-track visas for Gaza refugees to work and study in the UK. Christys fumed: "Yvette Cooper just made the illegal migrant crisis worse. But anyway, what could go wrong? Cooper also announced plans to allow refugees to work. I think this is absolutely insane.

"I mean, one good thing she did announce today was making it harder for illegal migrants to bring their families over. So, refugees will instead have to apply through the standard family scheme."

He added: "Today it emerged that a load of asylum seekers have been given new 300,000 townhouses with ensuite bathrooms, electric vehicle charging points, and underfloor heating. Interesting how those veterans in Bolton are doing, isn't it?"

Asylum seekers will now have to apply through the standard family scheme, which also applies to British citizens. This requires them to demonstrate a minimum joint income of £29,000 per year before their foreign partner can join them in the United Kingdom.

Growing discontent with how Labour has managed the small boats crisis and housed migrants in hotels has led to several demonstrations over the summer.

Cooper told the Commons this week: "I understand and agree with local councils and communities who want the asylum hotels in their communities closed, because we need to close all asylum hotels, and we need to do so for good, but that must be done in a controlled and orderly manner, and not through a return to the previous government's chaos that led to the opening of hotels in the first place."
