NextImg:Emotional moment Martin Daubney can't control tears as hairdresser shares poem on the state of Britain

Martin Daubney struggled to contain his emotions when Birmingham-based hairdresser Tia Jane Griffin delivered a powerful spoken word piece about British society.

The GB News presenter could be seen wiping away tears as the 25-year-old read out the piece that she had written.

In the poem, she highlighted economic struggles, describing how wages disappear into taxes whilst basic necessities become unaffordable.

The poem began: "We grew up believing the future was bright, but bills stack up higher each sleepless night.

"Cost of living crisis, pay swallowed by tax. We give and we give, yet nothing comes back.

"Holidays, houses, a dream out of reach. Some nights we can’t afford to eat. Wave our own flag, they’ll call it disgrace, like pride in your country’s a crime to embrace.

"Boats on the Channel keep flooding the shore, illegal arrivals, yet they still want more. Hotels and more meals, new tech in their hands, while our own go hungry in their birthland.

"Speak your own mind, they’ll shut you down fast. Freedom of speech feels like the talk of the past. Charlie Kirk spoke, just voicing beliefs, shot for his words, a target of grief.

"And Arena, stabbed unprovoked on a train, her eyes begged for life, but the crowd looked away. Left there to bleed with no hand to hold, that’s our world now, so bitter, so cold.

"Knife crime and rapes in our cities each day, but police chase a skateboarder rolling away. Priorities broken, justice turned blind, no safety, no fairness, no peace to find."

Her words criticised perceived double standards in policing and justice, whilst also addressing international conflicts, including the situations in Ukraine and Russia.

The poem concluded with observations about what Ms Griffin characterised as reverse racism targeting white British people.

Following her recitation, Ms Griffin explained her motivations for composing the piece.

She cited widespread coverage across traditional media and social platforms showcasing Britain's growing divisions as her primary inspiration.

The hairdresser stressed that Birmingham's residents are exhausted by constant negative labelling whenever they voice support for traditional British values or question current policies affecting their communities.

When asked what message she would convey to the Prime Minister's team, Ms Griffin delivered a direct appeal.

She urged Sir Keir Starmer's administration to address the nation's problems, declaring that current policies are unjust.
