'Allahu Akbar' row: Robert Jenrick 'stirring up problems in our communities', says Deputy PM

Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner said Robert Jenrick "has been stirring up problems" in communities amid a major racism row.

The former immigration minister, notable for his strong right-wing views, suggested those who shout "Allahu Akbar" should be arrested.

It's provoked a fierce backlash, especially given the ongoing riots which have seen mosques and Muslim communities targeted.

Angela Raynor'--"We want to see communities coming together" she said. Problem is, muslim communities have NEVER wanted to intergrate into the British way of life. Everyone has to bend to their ideology. That is now getting some kick back. Labour don't like it and naively don't see the danger of Islamisation. We're on a slippery slope.

[leedsunited]

she doesn't have a clue the general public want deportations

[timg]

Well, she avoided answering the question about concerns on immigration being far right. Quelle surprise.

[juliamacdonald]

She is out of her depth. Way out. The same is true of Starmer. He has bitten off more than he can chew.

[lindabowman]

Not all those against massive immigration is far right, or go on protest marches but are worried about the future of the UK.

[commonsense]

The embarrassment of having her wheeled out in front of the world. Cringe.

[jimoconnor]

Rotherham and Rochdale and Oldham has she forgotten

[claireamos]

Dont forget the 2 Asian thugs that attacked a eoman amd broke her nose, still haven't been charged. 2 teir policing.

[mikehughes]

This woman has pandered to the Muslim, she helped to get us into this mess

[BenJohnson-hx]

This just makes more people want to come out and protest

[Laura-sxk]

Very abusive shouting Allah Akbar on streets and police station, but Yvette Cooper was bling to that.

[milliondogs]

I distinctly remember, during the riots in London in 2011, that the media focused heavily on the negativity towards police use of force amid multiple buildings being set ablaze, looting, rioting, and numerous serious assaults. They even looked with sympathy towards the community perpetrating the unrest, because they apparently had a right to be angry that an armed career criminal had been dealt with.
I make no excuses for the hooligans out there today causing damage and mayhem, but it would be nice to see at least some level of appreciation towards all the events that led to this point.

[isabelskelton]

The public have had to put up with feeling unsafe for a very long time, especially woman.

[brianthelion]

Constantly ignoring the question and turning the story around. Typical narcissistic behaviour

[johnmanning]

She was asked a simple question about mass illegal immigration. Her reply ? There wasn’t one. She simply repeated her previous sentence about far right thuggery. She was asked about decent ordinary members of the public being very concerned about mass immigration. Her reply? There wasn’t one. She repeated her previous comment about far right thuggery. And this woman is the deputy Prime Minister of this country? She’s as much an embarrassment as her boss.

[brianfindlay]

She left school aged 16 whilst pregnant and without any qualifications. Ladies & gentlemen, the Deputy Prime Minister of the U.K.

[richardevans]

How did we end up with Vicky Pollard as Home Secretary?

[stkenno]

She can’t string a sentence together ffs.

[shogunable]

Rayner is as bad as Starmer both stopped listening to the peoples worries ages ago. OK at knocking the Tories at the dispatch box and that's about it. One month in and the Labour party is screwed. Charles as King needs to step in and retire the lot of them as his mother's country goes down the toilet..

[jimoconnor]

And the boats keep coming and at what cost ?
