Today’s Loose Women saw the panel – Kaye Adams, Nadia Sawalha, Jane Moore and Kelle Bryan – debate Nigel Farage‘s divisive plans to solve the small boats crisis.
Their discussion came after Rylan Clark unleashed his opinion on the migrants illegally crossing the Channel on This Morning. After sharing his views, some This Morning viewers questioned whether Rylan had gone a bit far, turning the ITV show into GB News.
And, after handing over the airwaves to Kaye and co, they started their show on the exact same topic…

Loose Women panel debate Nigel Farage’s deportation plan
After Kaye introduced the segment as anchor, Jane Moore was the first to speak. A respected journalist, she declared: “Certainly something has to be done. The more recent arrivals, the people who we don’t know who they are… With the small boats, 76% are young single men coming into the country. That is the main concern – just in the way that it’s affecting communities.”
Kaye added: “A lot will depend on how people feel in four years. At the moment, a lot of people feel like life is pretty rubbish. And migrants are being put in the spotlight as the reason for that, which I would question…”
Nadia Sawalha then chipped in: “I’m actually really worried. I know a lot of people just dismiss Nigel Farage and his rantings. But when I look at America and the horror stories of what’s going on over there – people being dragged out of their home, illegal immigrants, I actually… It feels like Trump is Nigel Farage’s man crush,” she said, before claiming that Farage tends to follow President Trump’s lead.
“It’s the oldest trick in the book for a politician to create hate about a group of people, to distract from all that they’re not doing,” she added.
‘Think about what it could mean for you if he gets into power’
Nadia then appeared to become more passionate as she said: “To blame our lack of a good education, lack of good mental health services, the NHS struggling… to blame it all on migrants is very dangerous.
“And I think when you look at America… the Democrats just cast Trump off as a joke. But he’s breaking down the constitution, he’s doing what he wants, rounding people up. We have to be really careful. Farage went to a very posh school, grew up in a billionaire’s home and then he says we know how you’re feeling.”
“That’s my concern about Nigel Farage,” Kelle Bryan said. “That people won’t be reading the detail and thinking it through. I want people to stop and think. How is it going to impact your life? Things like benefits, social services. How is it going to affect you, before you then, in four years time, give him your vote.
“I want people to start thinking in advance that if this man gets into power, what that could actually mean for you.”
