Security Minister Tom Tugendhat has announced a ban on hate preachers and extremists from entering the UK.

Appearing on GB News, the minister confirmed that those who "start spreading hate" will be "expelled from the country".

In discussion with Martin Daubney, Tugendhat says he has been "working hard" with the Foreign Office to make sure that the authorities "know exactly who is trying to come here and why".

He added that the ban "is something the government should be doing", and hailed the plans for the ban.

Tugendhat stated: "A visa is a privilege. It's not a right. You have no right to come here if you're a foreigner.

"You're only allowed here if what you are doing here is to the advantage of the British people more widely."

The minister said people are encouraged to come to the UK to "visit family, to visit friends, and to work".

He told GB News: "We love that. That's great. But it's not spread hate, not to divide us."

Tugendhat told Martin Daubney that hate preachers are 'not welcome here'
