Immigration minister and Member of Parliament for Newark, Robert Jenrick, has rejected the language used by the home secretary which described the influx of asylum seekers coming to the UK as an "invasion". Mr Jenrick appeared on Sky News on Tuesday morning (November 1) where he explained how important it is for people to choose words "very carefully".
His interview followed Suella Braverman telling MPs on Monday, October 31, about how the public needs to know which political party is serious about "stopping the invasion" of migrants. Mr Jenrick was asked if he would characterise the situation of asylum seekers in the same way.
The Nottinghamshire MP told Sky News that "in a job like mine, you have to choose your words very carefully. And I would never demonise people coming to this country in pursuit of a better life".
