David Lammy was brutally criticised on Good Morning Britain today following a fiery clash over the accidental release of a migrant sex offender. Yesterday, the Deputy Prime Minister lashed out during a lively PMQs in Westminster but refused to say whether another asylum seeker has been accidentally released since Kebatu. Standing in for Sir Keir Starmer, Lammy was quizzed on whether any “asylum seeking offenders” had been accidentally released from prison in the last few weeks. Shadow Defence Secretary James Cartlidge asked Lammy multiple times about the blunder, but instead Lammy responded, “Get a grip, man, I know I’m the Justice Secretary, that’s why I’m at the despatch box.”
On GMB, political correspondent Louisa James said the pressure is “piling on David Lammy” and how he handled the question. Meanwhile, host Kate Garraway reported that the Tory party “claim David Lammy was dishonest with Parliament.”
