Ms Tsantekidou unleashed a furious rant about his efforts in a moment that led Martin to sarcastically comment on politicians and their tendency to U-turn.
“My question is, why is Robert Jenrick, who was Immigration Minister in 2022 when this particular hotel was acquired and he was boasting about all the asylum hotels he had managed to commission, why is it he is going to these protests and pretending he has been trying to solve this issue for however many years?”, she asked.

“Where are we supposed to put these people? We have a massive housing crisis.”
She went onto even admit that she agrees with Nigel Farage on the matter of Mr Jenrick, adding: “Robert Jenrick is one of the most dishonest politicians I have ever seen.
“I think it’s absolutely astonishing how he can face these people in the eye, concerned parents and other people who are concerned about these legitimate refugees.
“He was the Immigration Minister who was responsible for this policy.”

Martin jokingly added that Ms Tsantekidou is unlikely to receive a Christmas card from Mr Jenrick this year.
Mr Jenrick shared photographs on social media platform X documenting his presence at the gathering outside Epping's Bell hotel, where he engaged with demonstrators including an individual wearing clothing emblazoned with "Send them home."
The Conservative MP characterised his visit as meeting "peaceful, patriotic protesters" whilst expressing support for those he said were "right to be fed up of illegal migration."
The Essex hotel has become a flashpoint for anti-immigration demonstrations marked by violent incidents.
Law enforcement officers have faced physical assaults during protests at the Bell hotel site, with police vehicles suffering vandalism at the hands of male demonstrators.
