The Home Secretary has called out “pampered, out-of-touch” celebs who have condemned her immigration policy.<\/p>\n
The Fareham MP criticised celebrities like Sir Elton John and Gary Lineker, calling them a “virtue-signalling elite” who address Brits “from their villas and private jets”.<\/p>\n
It comes after Sir Elton John suggested that the Home Secretary was risking “legitimising hate and violence” after her comments about migrants “gaming” the system to obtain refugee status.<\/p>\n
While Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker posted on X, formerly Twitter, “the point is she can\u2019t possibly know that they [the migrants] are lying”.<\/p>\n

They don’t have to worry about trying to afford a car or buy a house.<\/p>\n “The vast majority of British people are directly affected by the unprecedented scale of illegal migration. My job is to think of them first ahead of a virtue-signalling, elitist view from Hollywood Central.”<\/p>\n The former Attorney General added: “What I have a problem with is these privileged people telling the British people how they should think. I find that rank hypocrisy and condescending, lecturing tone incredibly inappropriate. These pampered elites are trying to look compassionate and sound virtuous.”<\/p>\n READ MORE <\/strong> Last week, Ms Braverman was in Washington DC to deliver a speech where she said “the misguided dogma of multiculturalism” was an “existential threat\u201d to the West.<\/p>\n In an interview she said: “There are many areas around the country where integration hasn\u2019t worked.
