Susanna Reid slams Suella Braverman over shamefully misleading migrant figures

"On what planet is that likely and how is that not inflammatory language?", the GMB host asked the home secretary.

Susanna Reid has criticised the home secretary for suggesting that 100 million asylum seekers could come to the UK without her planned immigration crackdown.

Suella Braverman has been accused of “inflammatory language” after she claimed the “law-abiding patriotic majority” has said had enough of people arriving on small boats.

She also said it would “betray” British voters not to tackle the “waves of illegal migrants breaching our border” as she unveiled plans for new laws to stop Channel crossings.

Braverman said: “There are 100 million people around the world who could qualify for protection under our current laws. Let’s be clear. They are coming here.”

The Refugee Council has dubbed Braverman’s language as “unhelpful” – pointing out that it was wrong to suggest that there were 100 asylum seekers around the world.

While the UNHRC has estimated that there at more than 100 million forcibly displace people around the world, but only 26 million have left their own country, a quarter of that number, and most move to neighbouring countries.

Putting the home secretary to task on Good Morning Britain, Reid asked Braverman to explain why she felt it appropriate to use such inflammatory rhetoric.

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.
