Migrant deal scrapped: Incompetence at the highest level from the highest office

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Commenting on the news that the UK/France migrant deal has been scrapped due to Prime Minister Liz Truss's comments, Liberal Democrat Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Layla Moran MP said:

"Not content with crashing the economy, Liz Truss has needlessly trashed the UK's relationship with one of our closest allies.

'This is incompetence of the highest level from the highest office. 

"As a former foreign secretary, Liz Truss should have known better than to recklessly alienate our allies.

"This is just the latest in a catalogue of failures on immigration from a government whose plans are utterly unworkable and incredibly expensive for taxpayers."
