Susanna Reid was forced to apologise on behalf of Labour MP Yvette Cooper after she swore during a live appearance on ITV breakfast show Good Morning Britain today
Susanna Reid was forced to apologise when Yvette Cooper swore live on Good Morning Britain today.
Yvette Cooper – the Shadow Home Secretary – appeared on the ITV breakfast show this morning, where she discussed Rishi Sunak’s flawed plan for Rwanda. During the chat, she said that the Home Secretary himself had described the policy as “bats**t”.
Susanna immediately jumped in and told Ms Cooper that she couldn’t say that. “Sorry we can’t use that word on breakfast television,” the host said as Ms Cooper apologised and covered her mouth, before continuing with her takedown of the new policy.
In a string of tweets last night, Ms Cooper fumed over Mr Sunak’s plan and said Labour would make alternative plans.
She wrote: “Rishi Sunak ’s Rwanda scheme is costing over £500m to send just 300 people – less than 1% of asylum seekers, with no plan for the 99%. Tory policy is just an extortionate election gimmick instead of a serious plan. Labour’s plan will boost our border security instead. Neither the Home Secretary nor the former Home Secretary think Rwanda scheme will work. The former Immigration Minister says this is just about ‘symbolic flights before an election.’ Even the PM tried to cancel it when he was Chancellor.

“This is the 3rd Tory law on Channel crossings in 2 yrs. 1st partially repealed, 2nd never fully implemented. Both laws made chaos worse. Ministers chose to delay this bill as they want someone else to blame Tory MPs still voting to include Afghan interpreters in scheme.”

She then went on to share Labour’s plan for the country. She wrote: “Labour’s plan will boost our border security & fix the Tory asylum chaos; new cross border police with new powers to crack down on criminal gangs; new fast track system to clear backlog, end asylum hotels and new Returns & Enforcement Unit to reverse the near 50% drop in returns.”
Yesterday, Mr Sunak admitted he wouldn’t meet his Spring deadline for flights to Rwanda. Speaking from Downing Street, Mr Sunak said the first Rwanda flights will take off in 10 to 12 weeks, meaning he has missed his own deadline.
