GB News was abruptly halted mid-debate as Patrick Christys shared some “awful” news.

GB News star Patrick Christys reacted in horror to the news that Southport murderer Axel Rudakubana had allegedly launched an attack on a prison officer with boiling hot water. Interrupting his show to share the despicable news, he quizzed why he was being kept alive.

Amid an intense debate about whether the Labour government has its “priorities wrong” for paying migrant housing costs but axing Winter Fuel Payments for millions of pensioners, the host suddenly exclaimed: “Sorry everyone – I do have to interrupt here now!” Silence fell in the studio, before audible gasps were heard all around as he confirmed that Rudakubana had “attacked a prison officer”. He explained: “The 18-year-old hauled scalding water over [him]. The guard was rushed to hospital after the horror attack, while police were called… an investigation is now under way into how Rudakubana got hold of the boiling water.”
