I also urged him that it's not helpful to tweet in this way, partly because of what the Nowak family have asked for and reminded him about their desire not to make this an issue of division and hatred, but to make this an issue of common…

I said, ‘Look, Mr vice-president, you’re wrong about this’.

I spoke to the Vice President yesterday. I wanted to emphasise a number of things. The first is that our democratic process is working well.

Andy Burnham doesn't need advice from me. We speak pretty regularly. He doesn't need advice.

I reminded him that the family have called for calm, they don’t want division ... I reminded him also of the online space, and how toxic that can become.

I disagree with him - this has got nothing to do with mass migration.

I said 'look, Mr Vice President, you're wrong about this'.

The second thing was I disagree with him – this has got nothing to do with mass migration.

Let’s be… clear about that, and I said, ‘Look, Mr vice-president, you’re wrong about this’.

Those arrangements can be made.
