Cooper was asking about an elderly Ukrainian woman that UK Border Force based at the Gare du Nord wouldn't let on a Eurostar to London. Cooper told Patel the case and asked, "Can she now travel to the UK?" "Yes", said Patel, then the Home Office said no.Yvette Cooper has ripped Vacant a new one.
Apparently Patel stated in the House that in a well publicised case a female pensioner Ukranian refugee Valentina Rumyantsyeva can now come to the UK having been turned back on Saturday.
The Home Office has since stated that this is not the case.
She's Vacant but she don't care!
Cooper's asked Patel to correct the record, and Hoyle is expecting her to come to the House to explain.
