The Home Secretary has accused a Manchester MP of ‘scaremongering’ after he mentioned passport delays in The Commons.
Priti Patel claims Afzal Khan ‘deliberately sought to mislead the public by misrepresenting the time it is taking to process passport applications’ in a letter, sent late last night.
“Your deliberate political actions will have unnecessarily worried hundreds of thousands of members of the British public who are currently making applications, in order for you to make a futile and cheap political attack against the government,” she writes.
