The Tories have condemned Keir Starmer’s human rights chief over feedback she made defending mass immigration. Mary-Ann Stephenson, the top of of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, used her first public feedback since taking on the job to sentence opponents of mass migration.
Ms Stephenson known as for an “honest” dialogue about immigration, and condemned the “demonisation” of migrants. “The creating [of] this idea that migration causes huge risks for the country, can make the lives not just of migrants to the UK, but of ethnic minority UK citizens, very, very difficult.” The head of the woke quango additionally attacked these calling for Britain to depart the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), warning it could be a “mistake”.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp branded Ms Stephenson’s feedback “a disgrace”.
He blasted: “These comments by the new Labour-appointed human rights chief are a disgrace. Once again, the left tries paint those opposed to mass immigration and illegal immigration as racist.
“Mass migration with no integration has undermined social cohesion. Sex crimes by foreign nationals are up 62% Foreign criminals and illegal immigrants routinely abuse human rights, modern slavery and asylum laws to stay in the UK.
“This nonsense has to end. It is completely wrong that Labour’s new human rights chief dismisses legitimate concerns about mass migration and crimes committed by foreign nationals – including the recent spate of rapes and sex attacks committed by small boat illegal immigrants.”
Before her appointment Ms Stephenson known as on Keir Starmer to desert his pledge to smash individuals smuggling gangs serving to unlawful migrants cross the Channel.
She known as for extra asylum seekers to be allowed into the nation, and to oppose the “hostile politics, racist rhetoric and demonising language of the past”.
Nigel Farage hit again: “Reform believes we should deport terrorists, rapists and serious foreign criminals. The vast majority will agree with me that we must prioritise the rights of British people, whatever their ethnicity.”
41,000 unlawful migrants have entered Britain this 12 months, after a pre-Christmas surge over the previous week.
Over 800 arrived on Saturday alone, following 497 on December seventeenth.
The Prime Minister has pledged to reform the ECHR, although critics say that is wishful considering.
