Скачать или смотреть "I'm the one who is called a “F**** P***”' | Home Secretary outlines overhaul of asylum system

After the Home Secretary delivered a speech in the House of Commons outlining her plans for an overhaul of the UK asylum system, she was involved in a fiery exchange with Liberal Democrat frontbencher Max Wilkinson.

Ms Mahmood denied "stoking division" after being attacked by a Lib Dem frontbencher. Max Wilkinson, the party's home affairs spokesman, said: "What is not helpful is the Home Secretary claiming that the country is being torn apart by immigration.

"Acknowledging the challenges facing our nation is one thing, but stoking division by using immoderate language is quite another."

The Home Secretary shot back: "I wish I had the privilege of walking around this country and not seeing the division that the issue of migration and asylum system is creating across this country.

"Unlike him, unfortunately, I am the one that is regularly called a f****** P*** and told to go back home.

"It is I who knows, through my personal experience and that of my constituents, just how divisive the issue of asylum has become in our country.

"This system is broken, and it is incumbent on all Members of Parliament to acknowledge how badly broken the system is and to make it a moral mission to fix this system so that it stops creating the division that we all see."
