Gary was criticized for comparing the treatment of workers in Qatar with the actions of the British government.

He accused the government of demonising rail workers, ambulance workers and nurses.

Bad working conditions should not be accepted in any region.

It wasgrotesque to compare the treatment of workers in the two countries.

Gary Neville is given free rein by ITV Sport to politicise a big sporting event.

Lee Anderson described Mr Neville's comments as a political broadcast by a millionaire.

Gary, keep your nose out of politics and talk about football, it looks like I'm banning you from my list. You don't know what's going on.

The Conservatives are the biggest set of charlatans to ever be in power.

Gary's views were expressed in the context of a discussion about treatment of workers in the Middle East. His views were not endorsed by the television network.

The treatment of migrant workers who built the stadiums and hotels for the World Cup has come under scrutiny.

According to a report by Human Rights Watch, foreign workers were facing months of not paying their wages.

More than 500 foreign labourers were injured and 50 died according to the International Labour Organisation.

"We should detest low pay, poor accommodation and poor working conditions, that's what it is, it's abhorrent, and we should do everything we can to get rid of it."

We can't accept that in this region or anywhere else.

The current government in our country demonises rail workers, ambulance workers and nurses.

We have to pick up on workers' rights wherever we go because people have to be treated the same.

We can't have people being paid a pittance to work, we can't have people in accommodation that is unsavoury and disgusting, we can't have that. It shouldn't happen in our country if our nurses are having to fight for an extra pound or two pounds.

Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has become an outspoken critic of the Conservative government.

He joined Labour and appeared at the party's annual conference, but he has no desire to become a politician of his own.

The decision to work for beIN and provide punditry during the World Cup has drawn criticism.

"You have a choice, you can highlight the issues and challenges in these countries, or you don't say anything at all," he said.
