Minister: Gary Lineker's comments were wrong and inflammator

When asked for his reaction to the BBC's Gary Lineker's likening of the migrant bill to Nazi Germany, Robert Jenrick says they were "wrong and inflammatory".

The immigration minister calls on Lineker to explain his remarks, saying they are "out of step with public opinion" and that the government is "acting on behalf of the British public" by bringing the Illegal Immigration Bill to the Commons on Tuesday to crack down on small boats crossing the Channel.
