Labour calls for 'hostile environment' to be scrapped
Tottenham MP David Lammy

THE TORY government must end the hostile environment now before more British citizens are caught in the Home Office’s “net,” Labour demanded yesterday.

Tottenham Labour MP David Lammy accused the government of trying to “slip out” an announcement of a pause in certain aspects of the hostile environment just minutes before England’s World Cup clash with Croatia on Wednesday evening.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn tweeted after the match that it was “disgraceful to sneak” out the news of pausing some Home Office practices while the football was on.
