Theresa May has presided over the return of the Nasty Party - Andy Burnham
Andy Burnham MP, Labour’s Shadow Home Secretary, responding to the proposal for companies to list foreign workers, said:
“The tone of the Conservative conference has become increasingly xenophobic. Theresa May has presided over the return of the Nasty Party. Whether it’s doctors, migrants or Europe, the Tories are blaming anyone but themselves for their failure.
“The idea of British companies producing lists of foreign workers runs counter to everything that this country has ever stood for. It would be divisive, discriminatory and risks creating real hostility in workplaces and communities.
“If the Government proceeds with legislation in this area, it will face the mother of all battles.
"This week, it has become increasingly clear what the Prime Minister means by ‘hard Brexit’ and many people will find it disturbing. While we must respond to concerns expressed in the Referendum, people did not vote for this and fighting ‘hard Brexit’ must be the new frontier in progressive British politics.”
