A Birmingham activist clashed with a GB News host and said 'you're part of the problem' in a conversation about race. Last week (October 25), Sarah Pochin said on TalkTV that adverts were 'full of black people, full of Asian people'. The Runcorn and Helsby MP was slammed for her comments, including from Health Secretary Wes Streeting, who called the remarks 'racist'.

On October 26, Birmingham activist Shakeel Afsar appeared on GB News and clashed with comments made by Akua and called for the MP's suspension. He said: "With all due respect, I think you're part of the problem. "You are not facing the discrimination because you have not been challenged, it doesn't bother you. "There's a really popular film called Django Unchained and I would really suggest you go watch it. "It gives you an example of people, from within our own communities, who sell themselves just to brownnose their way through society. "Unfortunately, I have to categorically disagree with you. "And if the Reform Party and their leader Nigel Farage is not racist, and if there is not institutional racism, she (Pochin) should be suspended from the party immediately." Nana responded directly to Afar's comments including the Django reference and said: 'if you call me things like Django, I'm going to come back at you'. She added: "I experience racism but deal with it in my own way. "I don't deal with it by calling other people names just because they don't experience it in the same way I do."
