Anti-Brexit campaigner Steve Bray has received criticism after sharing a photoshopped image of Suella Braverman on Twitter.
The image, which has since been deleted, depicted the Home Secretary outside Auschwitz concentration camp. Bray, who did not create the image, credited the entire Conservative Party for it.
Tory MPs, including Paul Bristow and Nigel Adams, criticized Bray for the tweet, with Adam Brooks calling it “offensive to many Jewish people.”
The tweet was posted after Gary Lineker sparked a BBC impartiality row with his criticism of the government’s illegal immigration crackdown and comparison of the language used to that of 1930s Germany.
Bray later deleted the tweet and stated that he did not take credit for the image and that it was not his picture. He also said that he compares Tory rhetoric to that of early 1930s Germany.
The original photo showed Ms Braverman sharing a joke with a man and woman at the Bwiza Riverside Estate, which will provide some of the 2,500 homes for migrants from Britain under plans to send asylum seekers to Rwanda.
LBC presenter James O’Brien tweeted a cropped version of the photo and received criticism from Tory deputy chairman Lee Anderson, who accused O’Brien of being a “talentless, ignorant, wannabe politician.”
Ms Braverman invited O’Brien to come to Rwanda before casting aspersions on the country.
