Labour MP Alex Norris grilled on GB News over Rwanda stance

Labour MP Alex Norris was harshly questioned on GB News on 29 January 2026 after he said “People’s Channel viewers didn’t see Rwanda as a deterrent” to the migrant crisis. The host, who has repeatedly critiqued the UK government’s handling of the small‑boat crossings, urged Norris to explain why the Prime Minister’s policy has failed to curb arrivals. Norris denied that UK border controls were the issue, insisting Rwanda’s repatriation scheme was effective. The debate took place in London, with the segment attracting viewership numbers above 1.2 m. The controversy follows a broader debate on the UK’s 3️⃣‑year Rwanda partnership announced by Sir Keir Starmer in 2023.
