"Riots could sweep streets of Britain if immigration is not curbed after Brexit"
Former Shadow Cabinet minister Rachel Reeves has warned that Britain could "explode" into rioting if immigration is not curbed after Brexit.
The former Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary warned that there were "bubbling tensions" over immigration that could spill over into violence if the deal agreed with the rest of the EU did not include an end to freedom of movement.
Speaking at a fringe event at the Labour Party Conference she said "the party must listen to voters concerns", and, "We have got to get this right because there are bubbling tensions in this country that I just think could explode".

How right she was. However, I suspect now in government she would rather not be reminded of this, and it does not pain me to say she was right. Unfortunately she seems to have conveniently forgotten wise words said in opposition.
