Philanthropist John Caudwell has told TalKRADIO host Jeremy Kyle that the migrant crisis is being used as a "political football." He blasted the European Union and argued that Brussels want Britain to have "a bloody nose." Mr Caudwell stressed that the EU want to cause problems for Britain "Because if we prosper too much the EU becomes in further potential to collapse."

Mr Caudwell told TalkRADIO: "The EU, in general, want Britain to have a bloody nose.

"Because if we prosper too much the EU becomes in further potential to collapse.

"They don't want us to prosper because it'll set the wrong signal to other countries that might be slightly EU sceptic.

"So it is a political football."

He added: "But I think there is a great point which is we do need to think on a humanitarian scale...on a global scale and together."

It comes after senior Tory MP Andrea Leadsom and Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu clashed angrily over migrants crossing the English Channel illegally in small boats.

Dr Shola joined the senior Conservative Party MP to discuss the ongoing migrant crossings with Iain Dale onLBC's Cross Question programme.

MsLeadsomfought back angrily at claims the Government was "gaslighting" the British public over the plight of migrants

The Tory MP added: "What this Government is trying to do is to prevent illegal movement to this country."

Dr Shola argued: "The Government is not doing that!

"The Government is dehumanising refugees, demonising, the language they use..."

She added: "Each time we talk about migrant crossing, it's always to paint them looking like people who actually you should have gone to a different country before you came to us."
