Fiona Bruce was forced to interrupt Question Time as she locked horns with Labour's Stephen Kinnock. Joining the presenter on the panel was Kinnock, Tory MP Harriett Baldwin, broadcaster Mariella Frostrup and former politician Nadine Dorries.

All eyes were on Kinnock as the debate turned to the ongoing migrant crisis in the UK, despite Keir Starmer's pledge to "smash the gangs". The panel was asked whether the one-in, one-out scheme is truly working after a man who was deported to France under the policy returned to the UK in a small boat.

One audience member was confused by the record-breaking number of migrants entering the UK illegally as she asked: "Why is it that Poland can do all of this and we can't? You can't go into Poland. There aren't any illegal immigrants. But in the UK you can come in anytime and go to hotels."

Kinnock responded: "When the United Kingdom was in the European Union, we were part of something called The Dublin Convention. The Dublin Convention enables any country that was a signatory to it to send somebody back to the first country where they tried to claim asylum."

Interjecting, Bruce claimed that Britain "hardly did that". Kinnock snapped back: "Well that's what a deterrent is."

Not letting it go, the presenter fumed: "But... but..." Unable to get a word in, she raised her hand and declared: "Hang on!"
