PM Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman were not welcomed as they went on a walkabout today.
It comes as a group of Conservative MPs had tabled several amendments to the Illegal Migration Bill, ahead of votes in the House of Commons later today.
But they said they expected to withdraw their proposals, after receiving assurances about their concerns.
Heckled
The pair were walking through a high street, Essex brag about Government’s new policies to tackle anti-social behaviour.
It seems that they are after beggars now…
The Prime Minister and the Home Secretary appeared alongside police officers in Essex before Mr Sunak set out his “zero tolerance” approach on the issue.
However, one woman was heard telling the pair “allow migrants into this country” and “refugees should be allowed in Britain”.
We don’t want you here
Shen then shouted to the PM and Home Secretary: “Go away. We don’t want you here”.
Sunak announced his new plan to tackle anti-social behaviour, including a ban on nitrous oxide used in laughing gas.
He also spoke about the need for “hotspot policing” and “immediate justice”.
Last night the Government announced pilots in 16 areas to force offenders to wear high-vis vests or jumpsuits while being made to pick up litter and remove graffiti, after being found guilty of committing offences.
