Dawn Neesom has launched a scathing attack on MPs preparing for their summer break as police chiefs have warned that Britain faces potential violent disorder linked to migrant accommodation.
Speaking on GB News, the host expressed disbelief that parliamentarians could be "packing your suitcase, packing your swimming costume" whilst the nation confronts mounting tensions.
The host said: "I don’t want anyone to particularly follow the example many of them are setting at the moment. I get that they need a holiday.
"If you have a holiday obviously you come back fully charged up. I understand that they need a rest.

Dawn said: "I’d like them to do something about the chaos we seem to be having."
Ben questioned her: "How does that manifest? Would you like them to get up in the Commons and give a rousing speech? Or what would you like?"
Dawn responded: "I’d like them to start tackling the problems actually doing something, not just talking about it. That’s what I want them to do. I want them to stop just talking about it and start taking action.
