Braverman's dangerous rhetoric trashes Britain's proud legacy

EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Responding to comments made by the Home Secretary this morning on the government's small boats proposals, Liberal Democrat Home Affairs Spokesperson Alistair Carmichael said: 

“Suella Braverman can’t even answer basic questions about her flawed, callous and inhumane policy.

“To suggest that those who oppose these divisive plans are somehow betraying Britain is stooping to a new low. It is an insult to all those worried about the dangerous rhetoric of this Conservative government and their heartless, unworkable approach.

“Britain has a proud history of offering sanctuary to refugees. To turn our back on those fleeing war and persecution trashes that proud legacy - and that’s the real unpatriotic move."
