According to a report, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Rishi Sunak, and the Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, were shouted at and told to “go away” when they visited Essex. The protest was against the Sunak government’s assault on small-boat migrants entering the country.
The incident occurred as they meandered through the High Street of Chelmsford with three police officers in preparation for the launch of an anti-social behavior initiative.
In a video that is going viral on social media, a demonstrator can be heard yelling, “Allow migrants into this country. Go away, we don’t want you here.” As seen in the video, both politicians disregard the protester’s comments and continue speaking with the officers.
According to the source, after approximately five minutes of strolling, Mr. Sunak was taken to the Chelmsford Boxing Club, where he addressed the crowd and responded to queries about his anti-social behavior action plan.
This occurs as Mr. Sunak and Ms. Braverman’s Illegal Migration Bill, which seeks to prevent migrants from traversing the English Channel in small vessels, returns to the House of Commons for two days of committee stage debate. Notable is that Downing Street faces opposition to the Bill from “both the liberal and right wings of the Conservative Party.”
According to Report, during his visit Mr. Sunak conveyed his confidence that a “robust and effective” measure had been drafted in accordance with the UK’s international law obligations.

“The home secretary and I have worked extraordinarily closely over the past two months to perfect the legislation,” he explained.
Mr. Sunak continued, “This is a tough piece of legislation, the likes of which we have never seen. It is important that it be effective, which it will be. It is also important that we adhere to our international obligations. This is a law-abiding country and government.”
