Shabana Mahmood tells 'white liberal' heckler to 'f**k right off' after being accused of copying Reform UK

Shabana Mahmood told a "white liberal" heckler to "f**k right off" after she was accused of copying Reform UK policy.

The Home Secretary was subjected to heckling from a man who wanted to "personally thank" Ms Mahmood "for out-reforming Reform" during a podcast recording in London.

The same recording, which took place in the heart of the capital's West End, also hosted two audience members who shouted "refugees welcome" while the first disrupter was escorted off the premises.

Ms Mahmood did not waste any time on hitting back and declared she would not be "put in her box".

She argued Britons' concerns about mass immigration are "perfectly valid" and slammed the protesters for attempting to "delegitimise" such concerns.

"I do think there is that element of it which is: 'How dare you, a brown woman, say a thing that we white liberals think you’re not allowed to say?’

"Well, I’m saying it,” she boldly declared to the audience while in conversation with comedian Matt Forde for his Political Party podcast.
