Theresa May yesterday came in for criticism from Chuka Umunna over her hardline stance on immigration, with the Labour MP accusing the Home Secretary of acting like a “Nigel Farage tribute act”.

The heated exchange came during a questioning of May by the Home Affairs Select Committee, of which Umunna is a member. He slammed the future Tory leadership hopeful’s speech to her party conference in September, saying that the speech had been “irresponsible and pandering to anti-immigration sentiment.”

“You’re not some Nigel Farage tribute act, you are the Home Secretary,” Umunna said. “The language you used, I do not think was responsible or temperate, and that’s what people expect from a Home Secretary.

“They might not expect it of Nigel Farage, but they expect it of you,” he warned the Cabinet minister.
