A Labour MP has confirmed he would not vote to ban the "weird" practice of cousin marriage in a fiery GB News debate.
Brent West MP Barry Gardiner suggested his opposition to Richard Holden's Marriage (Prohibited Degrees of Relationship) Bill did not constitute support for consanguineous marriages.
Mr Gardiner was grilled on his position on Mr Holden's Ten Minute Rule Bill just hours after the Basildon & Billericay MP accused Labour of supporting cousin marriage by refusing to support his proposed ban.
When asked by GB News host Patrick Christys if he would support a ban, Mr Gardiner said: "No, I wouldn't."
Mr Holden this morning warned Labour MPs were "turning a blind eye" to cousin marriage after today's scheduled second reading vote was stalled.Cousin marriage is another disgusting islamic tradition that should be banned in this country. When these cousin marriages produce disabled offspring, it's the British state that has to pick up the bill.
Will the British government do anything about this? Not likely, it will do anything to support and placate muslims at the expense of ordinary Britons.
