GB News presenter Patrick Christys has hit out at the rise of "political Islam" and "sectarian politics" in Britain, following the local elections last week.

Speaking on his show, Patrick said: "What's the vetting process for these people to be candidates? Where's the scrutiny? Is it not very telling that Labour's response to people with these?

"I would argue radical views displayed in a ranting, quite threatening manner is to say that they want to win them back, not distance themselves. I think that political Islam is here in Britain and it looks like it's here to stay."
