Good Morning Britain became heated as host Adil Ray called out MP Dominic Raab over the UK's visa policy which could prevent thousands of Ukrainian refuges from fleeing to Britain.Adil, 47, highlighted a major flaw with the Home Secretary Priti Patel's "tone deaf" policy which will only permit Ukrainian "dependants" of those already here in the UK.Ukraine was invaded by Russian leader Putin last week, leaving many civilians needing to leave their homes in order to stay safe as their country continues to come under heavy attack.The newsreader vented to Boris Johnson's deputy that "a mother" would wrongfully not be included in the current strategy.Shutting down Dominic Raab, he fumed: "If it was you mother was in Ukraine right now, would you not want your mother to be repatriated back here with you?Hitting back, the MP fired on all cylinders: "You're doing the usual thing which we always get on GMB which is not allowing us to answer the question." Mr Raab attempted to continue: "The Home Secretary..."Adil furiously interjected: "Because you're doing the usual thing where you don't answer the question the first time round.""But i'm trying to but if you interrupt me within seconds then I don't think I get an opportunity and nor do your viewers to hear the answer and judge for themselves," vented the MP."Am I allowed to proceed?" ranted Mr Raab."Yes," chirped back Adil as Boris Johnson's deputy continued: "Ok, so the principle that the Home Secretary has set out are that dependants - and we're talking about 100,000 - the precise criteria and processes she's going to be setting out in the days ahead."So all of those answers will be provided and I get why you are asking the question, I just can't answer every factual case and I
