Mr Farage condemned the faith leader as \u201ccompletely and utterly out of touch\u201d, saying he is \u201cgetting far too political\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cArchbishop, surely your job – above all – is to look after your flock, your diminishing flock, in this country.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd when they can\u2019t get access to GP appointments, when they can\u2019t actually manage to see their kids get on the housing ladder\u2026 when they see their journeys too and from work more difficult because of more traffic on the roads, Archbishop it\u2019s down to a population explosion that is actually making the quality of life in this country for people poorer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Farage asked Mr Welby: \u201cHow many millions more do you think we should accept in this country?\u201d<\/p>\n
Lambeth Palace referred Nigel Farage back to the Archbishop’s speech in the House of Lords.<\/p>\n
Don’t miss… <\/strong> Nigel Farage also denied that politicians wanting to stop the boats were lacking in \u201ccompassion\u201d, citing the half-a-million people allowed to come to the country as refugees from countries such as Afghanistan, Hong Kong and Ukraine.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t see how we can do any more than we are already doing\u201d.<\/p>\n This evening, Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick said he \u201crespectfully\u201d disagreed with the Archbishop\u2019s criticism of the Bill.<\/p>\n Mr Jenrick said: \u201cWe believe the British public support us in our efforts to stop the boats\u201d.<\/p>\n Speaking to Channel 4 News he added: \u201cIf this was easy, if there were simple solutions, we would have done them already\u201d<\/p>\n Tory MPs also rounded on the Archbishop of Canterbury\u2019s speech.<\/p>\n Bassetlaw MP Brendan Clarke-Smith slammed the Mr Welby, tweeting: \u201cI find it morally unacceptable that he isn\u2019t offering to house them all himself. Another reason why the Lords needs serious reform.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s no wonder the Church of England is losing members with such poor and out of touch leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n Tory deputy chairman Lee Anderson backed him up, saying: \u201cBrendan is bang on the money again\u201d.<\/p>\n
