This is a perfect example of how the Conservative party’s policies often lack empathy, especially towards vulnerable groups like child migrants. Removing murals of cartoon characters might seem small, but it sends a message that these children don’t deserve even a basic level of comfort or humanity. It’s good that Jenrick admits it was wrong, but we need leaders who get it right the first time. Compassion should be at the core of how we treat people, not an afterthought when facing backlash.
