A nail-biting exchange was caught live on air when GB News' Nana Akua slapped down one of her guests amid a racism debate.
Political commentators Jonathan Liss and Aman Bhogal joined Nana on her show to discuss whether Britain was becoming more racist in the wake of Home Secretary Ms Mahmood describing the racism suffered by her and her family.
The topic had been reignited by Ms Mahmood's fresh "sweeping" asylum reforms, many of which critics have dubbed racist.
The Labour minister warned on Saturday that racial prejudice is climbing in Britain, as community relations between different ethnic groups become more fragmented.
Mr Bhogal and Mr Liss were quick to disagree on the matter.
"This is the most warm-hearted, welcoming nation ont he face of the this planet," Mr Bhogal boasted, assigning blame to Labour-led council for taking down St George's Crosses and Union Jacks hoisted as part of the patriotic movement "Operation Raise the Colours".
He further criticised the councils for labelling citizens "far-right" when "all they want is a safe and secure nation".
Meanwhile, Mr Lis argued that Britain was indeed becoming "increasingly" racist, citing the skyrocketing numbers of antisemitic and Islamophobic crimes.
Ms Mahmood declared that Britain was becoming increasingly racist
| GETTYA recent survey conducted by the pollsters at More In Common found that some 44 per cent said the UK is now a mostly or very unsafe place for Jewish people after the outbreak of the war with Gaza, the attack at the Heaton Park synagogue and the Maccabi Tel Aviv football game.
The percentage is the highest figure recorded by the think tank.
As the debate between the two commentators escalated on whether the British Parliament should concern itself with matters beyond our borders, such as the war in Gaza, the two locked horns on whether Ms Mahmood should only worry about her Birmingham constituents, even though her parents hail from Kashmir in Pakistan.
But Nana Akua was quick to intervene.
Mr Bhogal asked: "So when the Home Secretary self-avows as a daughter of Kashmir, okay, she does that, is she then also to stand up for the rights of Indian Kashmiris?

"Has she ever said anything about against Indian people in her career?" Mr Liss hit back.
"Well, hang on a minute," Nana squeaked in. "She won't know whether she said anything about -"
"That you know of," he added, continuing to talk over Nana.
"No, sorry. Don't talk over me. He won't know everything that she said about Indian people or whether she said anything," the GB News star said, starting to become visibly annoyed.
"He's making a comment about Kashmir!" Mr Liss exclaimed.
"No, no, no, he didn't," Nana calmly responded. "The question you're asking is not one that anyone could answer."
"What difference it makes if he's talking about Kashmir?" Mr Liss repeated.
"Don't interrupt me because I'm talking. I don't want you to do that because I'm sick of it" Nana blasted.
An awkward, empty silence then hung in the air with Mr Liss expectantly looking at Nana.
"What are you looking at me like that for?" Nana asked.
"I'm listening to you," the commentator responded.
"Oh. That's good. That's very good of you," the GB News star sarcastically slung.
"Okay. He won't know the answer to that because he doesn't know everything that she's ever said about anybody and everything. So that's a silly question."
