Words are cheap, @BorisJohnson.

If you really are grateful to Jenny from New Zealand, for saving your life, end your government’s hostile environment, that makes her - and all migrants’ - every encounter with the Home Office a stressful, ghastly, demeaning experience.

1/4

If you really want to thank Luis from Portugal for his bedside vigil, @BorisJohnson, admit that Freedom of Movement has always been a tremendous asset to this country and apologise for the anxiety and xenophobia to which your decision to support Brexit has subjected him.

2/4

If you appreciate the physios, don’t call them “letterboxes”. If you are grateful for the pharmacists, don’t call them “bumboys”. If you really love the cleaners and cooks, stop saying they’re “unskilled” and pitting them against each other for political gain, @BorisJohnson.

3/4

And if you really learned a lesson and now appreciate that nobody deserves to die by this ghastly disease, pick up the phone sack the man who advised you that a few old and sick people dying was acceptable collateral to keep markets ticking.

Words are cheap, @BorisJohnson.

4/4

If you’re going to go with “ill informed” as an opener, it would have helped to have actually read the thread. The reference to Jenny was re hostile environment and to Luis, from Portugal, re FoM.
