Windrush deaths bring ‘shame’ on Theresa May and Tories

THE deaths of three British citizens who were wrongly deported to the Caribbean bring “shame” on the hostile environment’s “architect” Theresa May and her government, Labour said yesterday.

Shadow home secretary Diane Abbott called on the Prime Minister to “personally apologise” for “the latest tragic injustice suffered by our fellow citizens as a direct result of the Tories’ hostile environment.”

The three British citizens who died were among several priority cases identified by the government in a belated attempt to “right the wrongs” of the Windrush scandal.
