GMB Labour grilling sparks fury as outraged fans brand segment a 'farce'

Good Morning Britain viewers were left up in arms after the news that 19 councils are believed to be considering legal challenges against the government in a bid to stop hotels being used to house asylum seekers. On Tuesday (August 19), a council was granted a temporary High Court injunction blocking asylum seekers from being housed in an Essex hotel. The injunction was sought by Epping Forest District Council to stop migrants being placed at The Bell Hotel in Epping, which is owned by Somani Hotels Limited.

In recent weeks, thousands of people have protested near the hotel after an asylum seeker living there was charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in the town. After sharing the distressing news, ITV hosts Adil Ray and Charlotte Hawkins welcomed Labour minister Catherine McKinnell onto the show to get a better understanding of the government's plans to tackle the issue.
