This morning I've been talking to local residents and businesses around Eastney’s Marina who are really upset by what they witnessed last night. Intimidation and criminal damage are unacceptable and have no place in our city. I saw some of this firsthand. I understand people's anger and frustration about small boat crossings. The right to peaceful protest is fundamental to our democracy, but it must never cross a line into disorder. The Labour government is cracking down on the evil, criminal smuggler gangs. Summer small boat crossings have fallen to a six-year low, and the use of asylum hotels is being ended for good. I will take back concerns to Westminster and will continue to liaise with first responders and others and thank them for their dedication and work yesterday and as the clean up continues.
