The shadow foreign secretary, Emily Thornberry, told the BBC that the home secretary, Amber Rudd, should resign as it was hard to imagine a worse outcome from the Tory policy to create a hostile environment towards illegal immigrants. 'How much worse can it get? People have died, they have lost their jobs, and people working in the National Health Service all their lives are suddenly not even entitled to go to the National Health Service,' she said. 'It couldn’t be worse and yet the home secretary thinks 'I can apologise and it will be alright’. Well, it won’t be.'
