'Rubbish!' BBC Breakfast viewers skewer Labour MP in car crash interview

BBC Breakfast viewers quickly took to social media with fury after Government minister Catherine McKinnell was questioned about two Labour councils that are considering legal challenges against the use of hotels to house asylum seekers in their areas. This comes after Epping Forest District Council successfully won a bid to stop the Bell Hotel from housing migrants, after thousands of locals took to the streets in protest.

The programme's presenter, Naga Munchetty, asked the politician: "There are two Labour-run local authorities, Wirral and Tamworth councils, which have said that they're considering legal action to stop the use of these hotels to house migrants. Kemi Bandenoch, leader of the Conservative Party, has said she'll encourage legal attempts. Will the Labour Party be encouraging these legal attempts?" But as McKinnell began: "We inherited an absolute mess of an immigration system from the previous government," viewers quickly issued backlash as one raged: "Usual rubbish spouting. They all sound like stuck records."
