Mail hits out at James O’Brien for posting ‘cropped’ photo of Braverman – overlooking one thing

They might want to look closer to home next time they hit out at so-called 'snobbish critics' of the government's asylum seeker plan.

The Daily Mail has taken a swipe at James O’Brien for posting a cropped picture of Suella Braverman on her tour of Rwanda.

A picture taken by PA photographer Stefan Rousseau went viral this weekend as concern grows over the government’s plans to deport asylum seekers to East Africa.

It shows the home secretary laughing at a construction site in the capital of Kigali, although the viral version crops out the two guides she is standing next to.

This is what I mean about the stoking of ‘culture war’ being the main point of this project. No mention here that I’m echoing Theresa May’s concerns about slavery legislation. Imagine flying all the way to Kigali only to be told to write an article about a Tweet I wrote in bed… pic.twitter.com/Cro61eS7BO

Hitting out at O’Brien, the home secretary invited the LBC man to come visit Rwanda before he “casts aspersions on this beautiful, welcoming country”.

But as he points out here, that somewhat misses the point.

What’s more, the Mail must have missed the fact that one of their very own columnists did exactly the same thing on his own account.

Whoops!

Wait. What? An actual Mail columnist did *exactly* the same thing… pic.twitter.com/GmtabtWzeh

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
