Home Office Minister Jess Phillips apologised for her initial comments on the Birmingham riots, admitting she made a mistake in suggesting that masked criminals causing chaos in Birmingham were there because they believed racists were coming to attack them. Phillips had previously accused Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice of spreading misinformation. Multiple Reform UK MPs called for Phillips to resign from her ministerial role, but she later admitted her tweet was a mistake and vowed to be more careful with her words.
