Nigel Farage should face off against Sir Keir Starmer at Prime Minister’s Questions over Kemi Badenoch, a GB News guest has told Chopper’s Political Podcast.
Matthew Stadlen, a left-wing political commentator and presenter, suggested that while he is not necessarily calling into question Britain’s constitution, it is difficult to ignore Reform UK’s rise in the polls.
Mr Stadlen said: “One of the awkward things debating with you – and it’s a privilege to be debating with you – you were at the heart of No10 and it’s fascinating to get your insights – but one of the issues, we were all watching, I imagine Prime Minister’s Questions today, is that the person asking the question is the leader of the Tory Party, and really, if you look at the polls, it should be – and I’m not saying constitutionally we’ve got it wrong or whatever, but realistically it should be Nigel Farage.
“We’ve got Nigel Farage with his four MPs sitting in the sort of distant background and Kemi Badenoch asking the questions, and one of the reasons why Reform have been so consistently and quite significantly ahead in the polls up to this point is clearly, to my mind, because of immigration.”
