Rubbish! BBC Breakfast viewers skewer Labour MP in | UK News

BBC Breakfast viewers rapidly took to social media with fury after Government minister Catherine McKinnell was questioned about two Labour councils that are contemplating legal challenges against the use of accommodations to home asylum seekers in their areas. This comes after Epping Forest District Council efficiently gained a bid to stop the Bell Hotel from housing migrants, after hundreds of locals took to the streets in protest.

The programme’s presenter, Naga Munchetty, requested the politician: “There are two Labour-run local authorities, Wirral and Tamworth councils, which have said that they’re considering legal action to stop the use of these hotels to house migrants. Kemi Bandenoch, leader of the Conservative Party, has said she’ll encourage legal attempts. Will the Labour Party be encouraging these legal attempts?” But as McKinnell started: “We inherited an absolute mess of an immigration system from the previous government,” viewers rapidly issued backlash as one raged: “Usual rubbish spouting. They all sound like stuck records.”

A second viewer echoed: “Strange how she gave exact same response word for word on gmb.”

“Have you ever had anyone form this government come on and not compare themselves to the last government? It’s like a murderer saying ‘Well I haven’t killed as many as he has’ As a justification for their failures,” fumed another.

“No answers as per usual….ypu inherited around 213 hotels, only 13 or 14 have closed?!” wrote a fourth.
