 Labour MP Zarah Sultana said: 'Disgusted to hear Suella Braverman say there's an 'invasion on our southern coast'. 'Language like this whips up hate and spreads division.' Refugees' charity Care4Calais founder Clare Moseley added: 'For Suella Braverman to use language like 'invasion' to describe refugees, people escaping conflict, is offensive. They know what being invaded feels like… we are lucky that most of us do not.' Refugee Council chief executive Enver Solomon said: 'This kind of dreadful rhetoric is not only wrong, but it is also incredibly dangerous.' Ms Braverman had said: 'Let's stop pretending they are all refugees in distress. The whole country knows that is not true.' But Mr Solomon pointed out that 'the vast majority of asylum claims' here are successful.

The embattled Home Secretary claimed on Monday that migrants fleeing wars and persecution had launched an Â’invasion on our southern coast’, prompting disgust among the Opposition
Suella Braverman has been accused of stirring up Âdivision with her derogatory Âlanguage about asylum seekers.
The desperate Home Secretary, who is fighting for her job after admitting she repeatedly sent government emails to her personal account, claimed on Monday night that migrants fleeing wars and persecution had launched an ”invasion on our southern coast”.
Her attack came as she tried to divert attention from her botched immigration policies that have left asylum centres Âovercrowded, disease-ridden and dangerous.
Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper accused her opposite number of “failing on all counts” after she launched her tirade against asylum seekers, just a day on from a firebomb attack at an immigration centre in Dover, Kent.
