Diane Abbott says migrants 'have indeed f***ed off' as she hits out over Lee Anderson's migrant comments
The Conservative Party deputy chairman refused to apologise after saying those unhappy with the Bibby Stockholm should “f*** off back to France”.
It comes after the first group of 15 migrants boarded the Bibby Stockholm barge in Dorset on Monday but it emerged that 20 did not board after their transfers were "cancelled" by refugee charity lawyers. Downing Street later reiterated the view, with a spokesperson for No10 saying: “The justice secretary was speaking on behalf of the government. That is the response.”
He said in a tweet: "Language matters. This lot have been in Government for 13 years. After their abject failure all that's left is stoking up more division and hate. We deserve so much better."
