Damn, I would’ve expected this kind of rhetoric from “ReformUK” or one of the other alt-right parties, but to hear this from someone meant to be representing labour is horrid.
Such little empathy towards these people fleeing the horrors of their home countries - deport people like her to Rwanda then see how they feel about what they’re advocating for.
Edit: Also, glad to see a new alternative frontend for Xwitter since Nitter got nuked out of existence.
Highlighting that our asylum system is broken and really needs sorting out so we don’t need to use hotels to house asylum seekers is not pandering to the far-right.
You can do that without saying that the local hotel has been taken away from locals by asylum seekers, and that it needs to be ‘given back’. The rhetoric is clearly inflammatory.

She’s representing her constituents. You know, like an MP is supposed to.
The hotel was set on fire last night, can you not see how pandering to far-right constituents can be dangerous?

It’s actually Labour policy.
