GB News presenter Michelle Dewberry confronted Labour peer Lord Foulkes during a live interview after he admitted he had no knowledge of the Rhiannon Skye Whyte case, leading to a heated exchange on air.
Admission Sparks Fury
The 27-year-old asylum hotel worker died in 2024 after being stabbed 23 times with a screwdriver by asylum seeker Deng Chol Majek. In January, Majek was sentenced to serve a minimum term of 29 years in prison.
After Foulkes' admission, Dewberry said: "What I find astonishing is that somebody with a position of power in this government would not automatically know who Rhiannon Skye Whyte is."
Back-and-Forth Exchange
Foulkes responded: "With respect, you've just said 'someone within a position of power in this government.' I am a backbench peer; I'm not in a position of power, so you should try and get things right for a change."
Once she confirmed he was a "Lord," the presenter said: "My viewers and I are paying you to sit in the House of Lords, so I regard that as someone in a position of power in this country."
Foulkes replied: "But you can't know everything."
