        Nothing says not "hostile" like calling living, breathing human beings "illegal". Well said, well said, Sir.

        Sajid Javid's voted for every element of 'hostile environment, created and drawn up by the current Prime Minister and supported by the previous Home Secretary. As the founder of the National Health Service Aneurin Bevin said “Tories are lower than vermin” that will never change!

        Government audit documents freely using the term "hostile environment" under Theresa May's Home Office. It was something to boast about back then.pic.twitter.com/xRAlABOmVp
