Tory MP accused of spouting 'illiterate and offensive bile' over refugees tweet

A Tory MP has been accused of spouting "utterly risible, illiterate, immoral and offensive bile" for claiming it would be "immoral and illiterate" for the UK to take in more Ukrainian refugees.

Daniel Kawczynski claimed it was "British left-wing parties" making "illiterate and immoral" demands for Britain to widen its humanitarian response to the Ukraine crisis.

In a now deleted tweet, Mr Kawczynski said Britain should merely support Ukraine's neighbours as "Ukrainians will need to return home to rebuild their country" when the war is over.
