Heckler yelled at Rishi and Suella to “go away

On a walkabout in Essex, the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the Home Secretary Suella Braverman received jeers.

On the day a contentious immigration law is the center of attention in the Commons, a woman shouted at them, “Let migrants into our nation.”

She then yelled at the top two government officials of Britain, “Get away, we don’t want you here.”

The awkward incident came as they walked through a quiet Chelmsford town centre around 9am this morning.

The pair both ignored the woman and continued speaking to police officers accompanying them.

They were heading to a community centre to do a Q&A with the public about their crackdown on anti-social behaviour.

The Illegal Migration Bill, which is designed to put a stop to migrants crossing the English Channel in small boats, returns to the House of Commons for its committee stage on Monday.

Downing Street is facing a rebellion from both the liberal and the right wings of the Conservative Party.

Dozens have demanded a tougher crackdown and are produced to back an amendment that will block the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) from preventing removals from taking place.

But others want to force the Home Secretary to declare ‘safe and legal routes by which asylum seekers can enter’ the UK.

The Bill has been highly divisive, with critics warning that the proposed legislation leaves the UK foul of its international obligations.

The charity Refugee Action warned it would ’cause misery, cost millions to the taxpayer and drive desperate people to take ever more dangerous journeys’, while the Archbishop of York described the bill as ‘cruelty without purpose’.
