During a recent episode of Question Time, the audience reacted strongly to a challenge posed to a representative from Reform UK regarding immigration. The guest, Zia Yusuf, was asked by an audience member to avoid mentioning immigration during the show. Despite this request, Yusuf acknowledged that he could not comply and proceeded to discuss the issue. The exchange drew applause from the audience when Zack Polanski of the Green Party accused Yusuf of spreading misinformation and fear. The discussion took place in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, following controversial remarks made by Robert Jenrick at a Conservative Association dinner, which sparked outrage in the Handsworth community. The audience member emphasized that not all issues in the country revolve around immigration and criticized the Conservative Party’s governance. Despite objections, Yusuf continued to address immigration, citing it as a significant concern for many voters. He expressed his views on the impact of mass immigration in the UK and pointed fingers at both the Tories and the Labour Party. Polanski challenged Yusuf further, leading to a lively debate on the show before host Fiona Bruce intervened. The discussion later shifted to Donald Trump’s involvement in the Israel and Hamas agreement, following an announcement by the leader of Hamas in Gaza declaring the end of the war.
