Scandal-ridden Home Secretary has no credibility left

31 Oct 2022

Responding to Suella Braverman's comments calling refugees fleeing to the UK an "invasion", Liberal Democrat Home Affairs Spokesperson, Alistair Carmichael MP, said:

“If the asylum system is broken it is because the Conservatives have broken it. 

“The backlog and chaos created by Suella Braverman and her predecessors’ incompetence is costing the taxpayer through the nose and leaving refugees out in the cold.

“This scandal-ridden Home Secretary has no credibility left. 

“These refugees are not an invasion, they are people who want to build a life for themselves and their families, contribute to our society and our economy, and support themselves instead of relying on handouts.”
