Tory MP Amber Rudd

AMBER RUDD was ridiculed today after she criticised “rude” Oxford students for no-platforming her 30 minutes before she was due to give a speech. 

The former home secretary had been invited to speak at an International Women’s Day event on Thursday evening at the invitation of student society UNWomen Oxford. 

But the society voted to block her appearance at the last minute after students highlighted Ms Rudd’s role in the Windrush scandal.
