Blackpool MP Scott Benton has said the top priority for the next prime minister should be supporting families hit by rising costs of living - following a tweet which suggested it should be preventing immigrants crossing the English Channel.
The Conservative representative for Blackpool South wrote on social media this week that his constituents are 'sick and tired' of seeing images of immigrants crossing the channel in dinghies. The statement drew mixed messages of support and anger - some respondents backing his message, others criticising it during a cost of living crisis.
"Among their other top priorities needs to be addressing the unacceptable situation with illegal immigrants crossing the channel. This issue comes up time after time on the doorstep." It comes after Mr Benton tweeted that: "Stopping this has to be a top priority for the incoming PM. Do whatever it takes. Enough is enough. My constituents are sick and tired of seeing these images. No ifs, no buts, we must find a way to stop this embarrassing farce." The message accompanied an image of several men in a boat.
