Everything I am doesn’t sit well with Conservatives all of the time,” she said.“And if you look at the strict immigration rules they want to put in place, I think to myself: there you are quoting the daughter of an immigrant,” she continued. “We bring something positive, we bring something different, and we bring a lot of hard work that should be acknowledged.”A post shared by Heather Small | M People (@heathersmallmpeople)There are currently protests about the Conservatives planned Nationality And Borders Bill.
