The Hackney and Stoke Newington MP is the voice of humanity in a debate dominated by hateful rhetoric typified by the Conservative deputy chairman Lee Anderson writes Lester Holloway
Conservative’s attempts to claim the legendary former Labour MP was “exploiting the tragedy” of 41 migrant deaths off Italy is pure gaslighting. History will judge the Conservatives less well for their efforts to deflect blame away from their own policies at the cost of human lives in the English Channel, and support for barriers in Europe that result in many hundreds of deaths in the perilous journey from Africa to Europe.
His attempt to turn Abbott into the villain, rather than his own deputy chairman Lee Anderson for echoing the age-old far right demand that foreigners “f**k off back home”, was classic gaslighting in the purest sense. The Tories know this. They know that Anderson’s hateful rhetoric, and the position he holds as a result of it, is nothing but a grubby political tactic to appeal to the worst instincts of the public on asylum and immigration.
Kinnock varnishes the position by going on to say that Labour wishes they didn’t have to say this, and the barges are a consequence of the Tories failure to manage the system. In other words, Labour would do what the Tories do, but just do it more efficiently.
