Suella Braverman blasts Keir Starmer following Labour leader’s campaigns against deportation of foreign crooks

LABOUR must “hang their heads in shame” after campaigning to stop the deportation of foreign crooks, the Home Secretary says.

Suella Braverman blasted Sir Keir Starmer for signing a letter calling for dangerous criminals not to be sent to Jamaica — before seven committed further crimes.

She also hit out at 70 MPs and peers who signed a letter calling on a flight carrying four killers and two sex offenders to the Caribbean country to be cancelled.

She added: “The Labour Party are much more interested in writing letter campaigns to stop the Home Office from deporting serious foreign national offenders.

“They’re much more interested in the rights of criminals rather than the rights and entitlements of the law-abiding majority.”

She added that the party should be apologising for its “devastating action”.

An investigation last week by The Sun revealed seven convicts hauled off the deportation flight went on to commit violent or drug-related crimes following Sir Keir’s intervention.

Ms Braverman’s ferocious comments came after Tory MPs backed down from a rebellion on new illegal migration plans.
