Watch as GB News host Martin Daubney shuts down Green Party councillor Martin Abrams in a fiery row over Britain's approach to the Iran war.
Discussing how the Green Party would defend Britain, Martin criticised Mr Abrams for wanting to "remove the UK's nuclear deterrent".
Pointing out that the UK-US base Diego Garcia was targeted by Tehran missiles, Martin told Mr Abrams: "The missiles from Tehran, from the Ayatollah that were destined to Diego Garcia could, if fired in a different direction, reach London.
"How would the Green Party's position help you if they decide to do that? They say missiles could launch here, and the Green Party wants to get rid of our nuclear deterrent. The Green Party leaves Britain open to evisceration. Wake up and smell the coffee!"
Mr Abrams hit back at Martin, responding: "Martin, forgive me, but those claims about Diego Garcia sound ever so similar to the 45 minute devastation claims that were heard to justify the illegal war in Iraq.
"If these claims are being made, then there needs to be proper scrutiny of these claims. We cannot rush into anything when it comes to something as serious as wars, there needs to be proper parliamentary scrutiny.
"There needs to be proper parliamentary debate and a democratic vote on going to war."
Mr Abrams then stressed that the idea that Sir Keir Starmer "didn't rush" into the war is a "mistruth".
He argued: "Keir Starmer has opened up all our military bases for the US to launch bombing raid after bombing raid, loading up £2,000 bombs from our air field."
Martin repeatedly tried to interject, with Mr Abrams continually speaking over him, leading the GB News host to finally exclaim: "Martin! Stop talking over me, mate, this is a conversation.
"Let's have a little listen, okay? It's a two way thing, especially on my show."
Pressing the Green councillor on his party's policy again, Martin asked: "Specifically answer my question. The ayatollah decides to fire a missile in the direction of London, what does the Green Party do about it?

"You've already got rid of our nuclear deterrent, what happens? We're totally wide open to annihilation?"
Mr Abrams responded: "There's only one country in that region that has nuclear weapons, and that's Israel. I'm more concerned about Israel launching tactical nuclear weapons."
Martin interjected: "But they won't fire them in our direction. Do you not believe that Iran had a nuclear bomb?"
The Green councillor said: "No. There is no evidence that Iran has got a nuclear weapon, or even anywhere close to being capable of launching a nuclear weapon. All evidence suggests that they haven't."
Issuing a warning, Mr Abrams concluded that although they do not have a nuclear weapon now, Iran will "rush to get one" after the "illegal war" is over.
He argued: "'I'll tell you what will happen, though, probably after this conflict, they're going to rush to get one. This illegal war is going to mean that Iran is going to be absolutely scrambling to become a nuclear power."
Martin hit back: "They already were a nuclear power, you clearly don't believe that. And you don't believe Tehran would fire missiles towards Europe, even though clearly they are fundamental Islamist psychopaths.
"But you take them at their face value, Martin Abrams, a lot of people are going to watch this and think the Green Party are dangerous."
