Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood issues four-letter ‘f*** off’ tirade | Politics | News

Shabana Mahmood sensationally told pretentious white liberals “trying to put me in a box” to “fuck off now” as she defended her crackdown on immigrants. The Home Secretary has angrily rejected claims that he is a “Reformist Reformer”, accusing the “random trickster” of trying to “delegitimize” “entirely valid” concerns about Britain’s immigration crisis.

She said: “I think there’s an element of that: ‘How dare you, a brown woman, say something that we white liberals think you’re not allowed to say?’ Well I’m telling you. A few minutes after the event at the Duchess Theater started, Ms Mahmood was cornered by a man. He accused the Labor Secretary of going further than Nigel Farage and Zia Yusuf on immigration.

A woman then stood up and started heckling him before quickly walking away.

Ms Mahmood said: “I will not allow a tin-pot racist or a random knob or anyone else to claw at the foundations of who I am as a person.

“I’m a proud British woman. I’m a proud Briton, I’m a very proud Muslim. That’s the absolute essence of my life.”

Labour’s Home Secretary has rejected claims that he is copying Reform or the policies of the Conservatives.

He said such claims were “just a way to legitimize the perspective that I bring to the table.”

He added: “But it’s also a way of delegitimizing the perfectly valid, legitimate views of millions of people in this country, including ethnic minorities. And that’s unacceptable, isn’t it? You’re also trying to put me in a box with a lot of people who think I don’t even belong in my own country.”

“So I said this person can fuck off right away because I know I belong in my own country. You can’t do this to me.”

Under Labour’s plan, migrants will be told they must wait an average of ten years before applying for settlement rights.

Ms Mahmood said those relying on benefits had to wait 20 to 30 years before being granted indefinite leave to remain.

The Home Office predicted 1.6 million people could be given permission to stay indefinitely, adding that the rules needed to be changed or they would “lose access to social housing and the welfare state”.

Foreign nationals who apply for settlement after 10 years must have no criminal record, speak English at A level standards and have no debts.

But left-wing Labor MPs, union bosses and health chiefs are trying to force the Home Secretary to water down his plans.

He also announced plans to make asylum seekers’ refugee status temporary, to be reviewed every 30 months, in a bid to deal with the small boat crisis. Migrants whose home countries are deemed temporarily safe will be asked to leave the UK.

A staggering 1,469,000 immigrants have moved to the UK by March 2023.

The number of arrivals fell slightly to 1,299,000 by June 2024, then fell again to 898,000 last year.

Net migration, which takes into account the number of people leaving the UK, reached a record high of 944,000 in the year ending March 2023. It reached 764,000 in 2022 and fell to 649,000 in June 2024.

The number of people leaving the country fell to 204 thousand in September 2025, reaching the highest level in the last 100 years.

Authorities believe one in 30 people living in the UK will arrive in the country between 2021 and 2024.

Interior Minister Shabana Mahmood likened the influx to “freedom of movement”.

And Ms Mahmood took on left-wing critics who wanted her to change course.

He said: “What some people in politics fail to fully calculate and grasp is that there is so much anger in the country against the broken system that we are in danger of losing popular consent to have a refugee system. Full stop.”

“The element of this that I think has to do with my race and my background is the sense that if you don’t stay within the box, people have an expectation of what people like me should think… the thing I always come back to is that you can’t take away from me who I am or what I am.”
