I've just watch last night's Newsnight, and Gaunt was on as part of a discussion about the White Working Class. He kept talking over everybody like he does on the radio, and it was obvious to me that he was deliberately seeking to be confrontational, in the he was trying to do a "Galloway" ! Imitation the sincerest form of flattery !
Catch it now before they update the show, as it's worth a laugh;
